Mesa Roldán Lighthouse and Tower

Highlight • Monument

Mesa Roldán is a volcanic plateau crowned by a coral reef, full of fossils, with a height above sea level of about 220 meters, which makes it a magnificent viewpoint of the coastal area of the Cabo de Gata natural park. Nijar and the surrounding mountains. The Mesa Roldán Lighthouse was inaugurated on December 31, 1863, and was electrified in 1972. It is currently fully modernized and automated, with the characteristic of 4 flashes every 20 seconds and a range of 23 miles. For many years it was the highest lighthouse in all of Spain, until the construction of the Torre de los Lobos lighthouse in Rodalquilar. It currently houses a small lighthouse museum inside, with the collection of its lighthouse maker.

Highlight • Viewpoint

The Mirador de la Playa de los Muertos offers a spectacular view of this iconic beach. It is located on the top of the cliff, near the main parking lot1. From there, you can appreciate the immensity of the beach and its crystal-clear waters.
