At Punta Nariga (Barizo) stands the most modern lighthouse in Galicia, built in 1995 and designed by César Portela. With a height of 50 meters and a luminous range of 22 miles, it is a benchmark in the integration of architecture with the natural landscape.
The environment is full of magic in this cliff hit by the sea and with curious rock formations (which will even remind you of animals!). The visit is mandatory, both on sunny and stormy days. In the first ones you will enjoy the calm of the sea and the static lighthouse; in the seconds, you will be surprised by the dynamism of the clouds and the changes of light.

The construction of the lighthouse is reminiscent of the prow of a ship, crowned by a bronze sculpture called Atlantis. This statue, the work of the artist Manolo Coia, is a figure shaped between a human and a seagull about to fly. Undoubtedly, a perfect silhouette for the wonderful Nariga sunsets. To end the visit, you can go up to the roof of the lighthouse, which becomes a perfect viewpoint over the Atlantic.
