As promised, this week I'm featuring the other Isla Aguada lighthouse, also called the Faro del Tigre. This one's not for show, it's a working light.
I can show the location, just like last week, because they're basically in the same place (as you'll see photographically further below). This time, I'll zoom closer in. Both the original and the new one are located at the "Faro Museo".
The Lighthouse Directory provides this information about the new one.
"Date unknown (station established 1908). Active; focal plane 23 m (75 ft); four white flashes every 15 s. 20 m (66 ft) slender round concrete tower with lantern and gallery. Lighthouse painted with narrow red and white horizontal bands, although it was formerly painted all white. ... Located just north of the historic lighthouse."
I have the pictures next, including one showing both of them.
