Isla Mouro Lighthouse

8 reviews of Isla Mouro Lighthouse

Mouro Lighthouse Island is located just...

Excellent

Mouro Lighthouse Island is located just before the Bay of Santander. It was put into service on February 15, 1860 and stands 38.7 meters above sea level and its tower is 18.39 meters above ground. This lighthouse is one of the 9 lighthouses in Cantabria: 1) Cabo Mayor Lighthouse, 2) Santander Lighthouse, 3) Harbor Lighthouse at San Vicente de la Barquera, 4) La Cerda Santander Lighthouse, 5) Fisherman Lighthouse in Dueso, 6) Castro Urdiales Lighthouse, 7) Punta del Pescador in Santoña Lighthouse because the lighthouse in Punta del Caballo in Santoña is currently out of service 8)Cabo de Ajo Lighthouse and finally the Mouro Island Lighthouse.

The only downside to the location, is that there have been several tragedies by storms, including a lighthouse keeper, or on another occasion when the light itself was off several days.

Lighthouse Mouro Island

Faro De La Isla De Mouro

El faro esta sobre una pequeña isla situada frente a la península de La Magdalena empieza a funcionar en 1865 y se encuentra a 39 mtrs sobre el mar Al estar en la entrada de la bahía de Santander el oleaje al que esta sometida resulta preligroso Devido a uno de estos temporales se puso en peligro a uno de sus fareros y su familia, razón por la cual se pensó en automatizarlo , cosa que no sucedió hasta 1920 En el 2004 se le pone una nueva linterna que es visto a 7 millas y emite 3 destellos blancos cada 17 segundo Mi asignatura pendiente es fotografiarlo rompiendo las olas en el, cosa que todavía no he podido conseguir

Watching the bay from the top of a rugged and windswept island.

Excelente para los aficionados de la fotografía

El Faro de la Isla de Mouro es uno de los elementos más pintorescos de la costa de Santander, vigilando la bahía desde lo alto de una isla escarpada y azotada por el viento. Cuando se ve desde la Península de Magdalena, el faro junto a los acantilados costeros y el rugido del oleaje se parecen a la definición del diccionario del Atlántico (bueno, en este caso del mar de Cantabria, supongo). Dada su designación como reserva natural, la isla es muy popular entre los amantes del buceo, snorkel y kayak que buscan disfrutar de la rica biodiversidad de sus fondos marinos. Sin embargo, también diría que es un lugar excelente para los aficionados de la fotografía: te divertirás experimentando con la captura del faro y los acantilados costeros desde varios ángulos, ya sea desde Santander o Somo.
The Faro de la Isla de Mouro is one of the most picturesque elements of the Santander coast. When viewed from the Magdalena Peninsula, the lighthouse next to the coastal cliffs and the roar of the waves resemble the dictionary definition of the Atlantic (Well, in this case of the sea of ​​Cantabria, I suppose). Given its designation as a nature reserve, the island is very popular among scuba-diving, snorkeling and kayakers who seek to enjoy the rich biodiversity of its seabed. However, I would also say that it is an excellent place for photography enthusiasts: you will have fun experimenting with capturing the lighthouse and the coastal cliffs from various angles, either from Santander or Somo.

Natural reserve

Reserva Natural

La península de la Magdalena es irregular, con salientes y acantilados, y un paseo perfectamente marcado para poder recorrerla y admirar esos incomparables paisajes. Tuve la suerte de que ese día hacía mal tiempo, un verdadero espectáculo ver las olas desde el faro de la cerda. La isla de Mouro, en dirección noreste, puede verse desde allí, con su faro erguido tras el embate de centenares de olas en su ya larga vida. Es uno de los lugares más sobrecogedores de la costa de Santander, un privilegio tenerlo tan cerca de la ciudad.
The peninsula of Magdalena is irregular, with ridges and cliffs, and a perfectly marked to cross it and admire these unique landscapes ride. I was lucky that gives haca bad weather, a real spectacle to watch the waves from the lighthouse of the sow. Mouro Island in northeast direction, can be seen from there, with its lighthouse erected after the onslaught of hundreds of waves in his long life. It is one of the most breathtaking places on the coast of Santander, a privilege to have him so close to town.

Brisas del cantbrico

Brisas del cantábrico

Cierto es que fui en invierno a este punto de la geografía española, y el frío rascaba más que en invernalia, pero también es cierto que no había ni un alma en el mirador que se encuentra cerca del Palacio de la Magdalena y pude disfrutar de un momento de paz tremendo. Las vistas a la bahía y a este faro solitario y del mar rompiendo tan fuerte hicieron que sintiese un descanso pleno de la gran ciudad
It is true that in winter was at this point of the Spanish geography, scratched and fro more than in Winterfell, but it is also true that there had not a soul in the gazebo located near the Palacio de la Magdalena and I enjoy time of tremendous peace. The views of the bay and this lonely lighthouse and the sea crashing so hard they felt made a full rest of the big city
