A majestic lighthouse at the entrance of the Port of Málaga
May 2022 • Friends
La Farola is a whitewashed lighthouse at the entrance of the Port of Málaga and was created by engineer Joaquín María Pery y Guzmán and was completed in 1817. It is a very traditional sight in an area that has been completely transformed over the years and remains majestic amongst its new environment.

One of the landmark structures of this most beautiful of city's is La Farola.
Constructed in 1816 and found along the promenade between the Port Of Malaga and Paseo Maritimo Ciudad De Melilla.
This is such a photogenic lighthouse building and adds to the joy of visiting the La Malagueta District,most definitely well worth checking out if you're in area and easy to locate along Paseo Farola.

Focal point for the port
Sep 2022 • Couples
Whenever we visit Malaga we always stay in this area. Not only does it have a beach, it also has the wonderful reasonably Newport area to explore.

This is full of beautiful boats and posh shops and restaurants. Just about marking the end of this is own is this impressive Lighthouse.

Not only does it allow great photographs, it is a reference point for wherever you are in this area. It’s lovely walking around this area and this makes a good landmark to visit.

Lighthouse at Port of Malaga
Apr 2021 • Couples
Lighthouse at Port of Malaga. It’s average and better viewed from a distance as a bit of a long walk and not much else around.

Two centuries with some losses.
Dec 2019
La Farola divides symbolically separates the promenade and the beach of La Malagueta. The lighthouse, the creation of engineer Guzman, turned 200 years old in 2017. The lighthouse survived two centuries with some losses: damaged by an earthquake in 1884 and by fire from the francoist Navy in the civil war of 1936-1939. No access inside.

End of the pier
Feb 2020 • Couples
If you walk to the end of the pier,you will pass by this big lighthouse. It’s a nice area with lots of people strolling and looking at the boats and the fish. As you pass by, you will be on the beach.
