Buenavista Lighthouse

About

The Buenavista Lighthouse (Faro de Buenavista), also known as the Punta de Buenavista lighthouse, is an active lighthouse in the municipality of Buenavista del Norte on the northern coast of Tenerife in the Canary Islands. This modern lighthouse, which has been described as being shaped like a corkscrew, is situated on a headland midway between the settlements of Buenavista del Norte and Los Silos. It is one of the seven main lighthouses which mark the coastline of Tenerife, and lies between two other lighthouses; Punta de Teno to the southwest, and Puerto de la Cruz to the northeast.
