A nice alternative for the Camino del Norte. I don't understand why the camino doesn't go past here, but along the busy main road.

The view from Cabo de San Agustín is a spectacle that is definitely worth a stop. The old and new lighthouses are only a few meters apart and even the old bell used to warn ships of fog has been preserved.
