Faro de Cabo Ortegal stands at the most north-western point of Spain and is a great spot to take in stunning views of the Atlantic Ocean and Cantabrian Sea. With its bright white exterior and red and white stripes, the lighthouse is an iconic symbol of Spanish maritime identity. On clear days, you can see as far as Portugal and the Isles of Ons and Sálvora.
At the top of the lighthouse sits a huge cross dedicated to sailors lost in the sea, and the whalebone arch keeps watch over the area. The surrounding reserve offers plenty of flora and fauna - even wild horses. There is also an interpretation center for visitors to learn more about the area's history and ecology. Enjoy a hike around the cliffs and take in the impressive views of sandy bays and cliffs of the Costa da Morte. Then explore the adjacent fishing village of Cariño, where you can sample local seafood specialties.
