Photographer's Note
The Cabo Vilan Lighthouse (1896), located in an environment of great landscape and environmental value, is built in stonework at an altitude of 75 m and has an octagonal floor plan, some 25 m high, linked by a tunnel to a square-plan building with an interior patio. A two-storey building with a simple design that houses different rooms.
The origin of this lighthouse, the first to be electric in Spain, is due to the fact that it came to replace a previous lighthouse (1854), located nearby, and that worked on steam.
It was after the sinking of the Serpent, in 1890, that the need for the new lighthouse gained strength and became a reality.
Currently, it is one of the tourist resources with the greatest projection of the Camarias city council and houses a museum and an exhibition hall that changes throughout the year.

El Faro de Cabo Vilan (1896), situado en un entorno de gran valor paisajstico y medioambiental, est construido en cantera a 75 m de altitud y, presenta una planta octogonal, de unos 25 m de altura, unida, por un tnel, a una construccin de planta cuadrada con un patio interior. Un edificio de dos plantas y diseo simple que alberga diferentes dependencias.
El origen de este faro, el primero en ser el馗trico de Espaa, se debe a que vino a sustituir a un faro anterior (1854), emplazado en las cercanas, y que funcionaba a vapor.
Fue a partir del hundimiento del Serpent, en el ao 1890, cuando la necesidad del nuevo faro cobr fuerza y se convirti en realidad.
En la actualidad, es uno de los recursos tursticos con mayor proyeccin del ayuntamiento de Camarias y alberga un museo y una sala de exposiciones que a lo largo del ao va mudando.

Hello Luis,
A wild and rugged and impressive scenery with the lighthouse well placed on top of the steep rock. I imagine this could be a very windy place at times. The sea looks fairly calm so you had chosen a good day for your visit. The light and colours make the view quite inviting.
Best regards,
Gert

Hola Luis,
Wow, this so beautiful. You have found an optimal point of view to well present the lighthouse in the context of the location along the coast. The day was magnificent and the resulting colors are so eye pleasing. The lighthouse stands so proudly against the blue sky. I love the all natural colors here and amazing clarity and sharpness -we can see the texture of the sea surface. Presence of people adds a scale.
Excellent quality work!!

Hello Luis,
A great photo of the rocky cape and the lighthouse built on top of it. The green slopes and the blue ocean surrounded the centre of the composition really well. Great lighting also.

Hola Luis
An impressive coastal scene with the lighthouse giving an obvious focal point. Good sharpness and superb warm cold colour contrasts between the blue sea & sky and the red tinged rocky outcrops and cliffs. Tfs!

Hello Luis, like many other members I always like to see the different lighthouses from around the world.
This doesn't look as if it is easily accessible, but no doubt there are some steps out of shot. The craggy rocks tell us why the lighthouse is there! The people add a sense of scale.
Excellent shot.
Kind regards, Jean.

hello Luis,
What a pleasant sight! the color of the lighthouse matches that of the rocks it is built upon. The clouds in the distance look like snow covered mountains.
Regards,

Hello Luis,
A wild rocky promontory in the Atlantic Ocean where the building is partially sheltered between the rocks.
Fantastic view of the long row of clouds on the horizon.
The main subject, the lighthouse, rises beautifully above everything.
Extremely sharp photo with beautiful natural colours.
Best regards, Paul
