An arrow of white concrete shoots towards the sky in the northeast coast of Tenerife. One of seven along the islands coast, Punta del Hidalgo Lighthouse sits on a volcanic platform jutting half a mile out into the sea.
Completed in 1992, its modern and angular appearance of climbing columns tips to a height of 160 feet.
This unique lighthouse is one out of six that was chosen as a symbol on a Spanish stamp.
Note that GoogleMaps may try to sabotage visiting the site, you will want to stay close to the coast using the road Camino La Costa.
Close to the structure, the road deteriorates quickly. It may be best to park out a bit and walk on over, enjoying the scenery.
This is a popular spot with locals who were hanging out past sunset people playing a great beat on the drums.
