Lighthouse of the Week, December 14-20, 2025: Cap Barbaria, Formentera, Spain

 

There are apparently two lighthouses on the Spanish island of Formentera in the Mediterranean Sea (an island in the Balearic archipelago, south of Ibiza).  I already featured one of them, the Far de la Mola.  So this is about the other one, the Cap Barbaria lighthouse.

First of all, as is my custom, you can find it here.

The Lighthouse Directory tells us this about it:

"1972 (Rafael Soler). Active; focal plane 78 m (256 ft); two white flashes every 15 s. 19 m (62 ft) round cylindrical tower with lantern and double gallery, rising from a circular 1-story equipment room. Lighthouse painted white; lantern is gray metallic. ... Located at the southwestern tip of the island, about 10 km (6 mi) southwest of the town of Formentera; accessible by road."

The pictures are below.
