El Faro del Cabo Santa María

TIME : 2016/2/19 15:58:10

The 1874 completion of this local lighthouse marked La Paloma’s genesis as a summer beach resort. The unfinished first attempt collapsed in a violent storm, killing 17 French and Italian workers, who are buried nearby. Outside is a solar clock using shadows cast by the lighthouse.
