Rank : 7.5 (average on 2 votes)

Coordinates : 43.473129, -3.755502 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : The lighthouse Mouro Island (not to be confused with the nearby Cabo Mayor), is placed at the entrance of the port of Santander. While not particularly picturesque, it becomes a very interesting subject in the event of heavy storms, the waves can get to completely cover the lighthouse.

Recommended equipment : Telephoto 200mm up, a perfect 300 or 400mm. A standard zoom lens can come in handy for shots of the whole.

Best months : All year round, but you have to be lucky enough to find a stormy sea!

How to get there : Once you arrive in Santander, go to the Peninsula of Magdalena, it is an area not accessible by car, but before the entrance (it is an enclosed park) you will find ample free parking. Leave your car there and in about 10 minutes you can walk to the vantage point from which to observe the lighthouse in front of the Palacio de la Magdalena.

Visits : The entrance to the park from where you can see the lighthouse is free, is open from 8 to 22.

Notes : A good economical solution for staying in the vicinity are the bungalows of the Hotel San Juan De Costa Canal (Canal De La Avenida San Juan s / n, 39110 Soto de la Marina, GPS: 43.467869, -3.899220). Located at 15 km from here you will also find the famous Playa de Apiary.
