Have you ever heard of Ibiza (pronounced Eye-bee-tha)? If you haven't, then you aren't aware of one of the biggest party and vacation islands in the entire Mediterranean Sea.
Ibiza has nightlife and clubs galore, and resorts, and casinos, and bars. Lots of bars. So it's a spot that the young and the beautiful go to for dancing, beaches, drinking, food, and sex. Not necessarily in that order.
Being an island, it also has lighthouses. And I was a little surprised to find out I'd never looked for lighthouses here before. It has several.
For this week's featured lighthouse, I picked one that is just a tower and a light. No lighthouse keeper building, no monument to lost ships, and apparently no souvenir shops. Just a lighthouse tower on some impressive cliffs.
Lighthouse Directory excerpt:
Punta Moscarter (Moscarté)
1977. Active; focal plane 93 m (305 ft); white flash every 5 s. 52 m (171 ft) round cylindrical concrete lighthouse with lantern and double gallery, painted with black and white spiral bands. The lighthouse is freshly painted in a 2012 closeup photo. Located at the northernmost tip of Ibiza. The lighthouse is within about 1200 m (3/4 mi) of Cala de Portinatx, and apparently it is accessible by hiking from the town along the bluffs. Site and tower closed.
And of course, I have pictures and a video!
