History
The original lighthouse was built in 1588, and later restored in the 18th century and 1989. Its other name is Torre de Punta Mala. There is a small ruin of the Casa de Carbonera (charcoal-maker's house) next to the lighthouse. The beach below is known as Playa Balñario and is classified as a Nude beach.[1]
