Chipiona lighthouse is the highest in Spain and one of the highest in the world.
Reaching 69 metres from the base to the lamp and with a total of 344 steps.
Our lighthouse was built under the direction of the engineer Font who started the work in 1863 and finished on 28 November, 1867.
It is situated at the mouth of the Guadalquivir River, on the sandbank Punta El Perro. It is a lighthouse of the highest class, although the current one is built on the ruins of the ancient Roman lighthouse. Its light is so powerful that it reaches over 25 coast miles and on clear nights it can be seen from the coast of Portugal.
