About Cabo Prior Lighthouse

Cabo Prior Lighthouse (Spanish: Faro de Cabo Prior) is an active 19th century Spanish lighthouse located on the cabo, or cape, of the same name in the parish of San Martiño de Covas in the Ferrol municipality of the Province of A Coruña, Galicia. The lighthouse has been constructed on a high coastal clifftop, some 14 kilometres (8.7 mi) northwest of Ferrol. A set of steps descends from the lighthouse down the steep cliff to a viewpoint overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
