Page Importance:
El Faro, the Lighthouse is located on the very tip of the cape, warning those at sea of the imminent danger of these rocky shores. These days, it is a modern device keeping watch for sailors. So what is the attraction of coming out here? The walk through this desert landscape or along the shore strewn with washed up fragments of large shells and sea urchins, of algae. The view of the sea stretching to an indistinct horizon. And the most glorious sunsets to be witnessed on this side of creation.
