Walk the headland at Cap de Cavalleria
North coast, Spain
The white lighthouse at Cap de Cavalleria stands above a rugged north-coast headland, where open sea and steep rock faces dominate the view. The lighthouse began operating in 1857 and remains an unmistakable landmark against the low landscape. Come for the coastal setting rather than expecting to climb the tower. Wear shoes suited to uneven ground, keep well back from cliff edges and choose a calmer day if strong winds are forecast.
