Places to see in ( Andalusia - Spain ) Cabo de Gata Lighthouse
Once we are near the lighthouse of Cabo de Gata we can say that we have been where the south eastern Spain ends, because this lighthouse , and the viewpoint of the Sirens that is beside, were built in the exact geographical point where is located the Cape of Gata, as it was known at the time of the Greeks and Phoenicians and used throughout history as a reference point for sailors .
The lighthouse there today is relatively modern construction 1863, and the dependences beside the lighthouse were built in the twentieth century . The lighthouse was built on the ruins of the castle of San Francisco de Paula , what was part of the existing sea defensive battery in the Almeria coast, which was destroyed during the War of Independence, versus Napoleon. Built on a cliff 50 meters and a tower height of 18 meters, the flashes of light are visible 30 miles , 45 kilometers , supplemented by an audible siren that the days of thick fog is activated to alerting ships of their presence. The lighthouse was built as a warning to mariners of the presence of the dangerous Laja of the Cape , this reef located at one nautical mile into the sea off the lighthouse is causing many shipwrecks throughout history . One of most visited wreck for divers is the Czechoslovak Arna ship , which sank in 1928 when it hits the Laja Cape , and had once carried iron ore and today is haven for fish and entertainment for divers.
The Cabo de Gata lighthouse landmark spot receives thousands of visitors every year , we recommend approaching the sunset as the best time , as you can see one of the most beautiful sunsets in the Natural Park. The lighthouse is near the huge beach of Salinas and has other small coves around, making it a good choice to complete the visit with a dip in their costs.

Se trata de una playa urbana que ocupa toda la longitud del paseo marítimo de la barriada de San Miguel de Cabo de Gata. Son dos kilómetros y medio de playa rectilínea y ancha con servicios de vigilancia realizado por socorristas, duchas, pasarelas de acceso, y acceso habilitado para personas con movilidad reducida. En el paseo marítimo podemos encontrar bares, restaurantes, y puestos de helados. En la misma playa hay unos chiringuitos con mesas y terrazas a la sombra para comer o beber algo. Cuenta con los suficientes servicios para hacerla acreedora de la bandera azul otorgada por la UE.
Esta playa no es más que una parte de la gran línea de costa recta que se extiende desde la playa de de Torre García hasta el Faro de Cabo de Gata. Son más de 12,5 kilómetros de playa recta con una anchura media de 50 metros, sin duda la playa más grande del parque, y aunque su nivel de ocupación es alto en verano su enorme extensión permite estar cómodo sin aglomeraciones. Los nombres de los tramos que componen esta playa son, de oeste a este, Playa de Torre García, Playa de las Amoladeras, Playa de San Miguel, Playa de las Salinas, Playa de la Almadraba y Playa de la Fabriquilla.
La playa de San Miguel termina precisamente en el Torreón de San Miguel, una torre defensiva que data del siglo XVII y que hoy día es propiedad de la Guardia Civil. Precisamente alrededor de esta torre es donde los pescadores del pueblo de San Miguel de Cabo de Gata atracan sus barcas durante el día y a primera hora de la mañana se les ve llegar con las capturas de la noche.
San Miguel is an urban beach that occupies the entire boardwalk length of the neighborhood of San Miguel de Cabo de Gata. Two and a half kilometer of wide and straight beach with surveillance services performed by lifeguards, showers, access gateways, and access for the disabled. On the waterfront can find bars, restaurants, and ice cream stands. On the beach there are bars with tables and shaded terraces to eat or drink. It has enough services to make it earn the Blue Flag awarded by the EU.
This beach is only a part of the great line of coast line that stretches from the beach of Torre García to the lighthouse of Cabo de Gata. They are more than 12.5 miles of beach line with an average width of 50 meters, by far the largest beach of the Nature Reserve, and although their occupancy is high in summer its enormous size allows to be comfortable without crowds. The names of the sections that make up this beach are, from west to east, Torre García beach, Amoladeras Beach, San Miguel Beach, Salinas Beach, Almadraba Beach and Beach Fabriquilla.
The beach of San Miguel ends precisely at the Tower of San Miguel, a defensive tower dating from the seventeenth century and is today owned by the Guardia Civil (spanish police). Around this tower is where fishermen from the village of San Miguel de Cabo de Gata dock their boats during the day, at first time in the morning you will see them get back with the catch of the night.
