Faro de Ajo is a scenic light house located in the seaside town of Bareyo, in the northern Spanish province of Cantabria. It stands right at the edge of a cliff, offering up breathtaking views of the rough, rolling waves of the Bay of Biscay. The lush nearby forests of the area, known as the Valley of Pas, provide a picturesque backdrop. Take a stroll along the rocky beach and descend the stairs leading to the light house built by the Spanish Navy in the 19th century. Inside, you’ll find a observation room full of fascinating nautical artifacts and breathtaking ocean views. After exploring the building, enjoy watching the sun set with the birds soaring above and mysterious waves rolling around you.
