Environment

Currently, the lighthouse has been restored and its facilities have been converted into a bar-restaurant, so it is a private concession, and if you do not consume, you cannot enter. Even so, you can still come and enjoy the surroundings. The views from around the lighthouse are spectacular; you can see cliffs, coves, beaches and an impressive sunset with views of the island of Mallorca. There are also some caves that end in a cliff with incredible views.
