Travel web tripavisor, which has more than 200 million traveler opines worldwide, has included Alfaro Cabo de Palos as one of the 20 most spectacular lighthouses of Spain, based on its popularity and interest.
Towering over La Manga, the Faro de Cabo de Palos is surrounded by intricate reefs, responsible for many shipwrecks over time.
Some have been particularly tragic as the Syrian ocean liner in 1906 in which 550 people, more than half of the passengers, such as notes died and the page itself.
In this list, Cabo de Palos shares its spectacular lighthouse with others like the lighthouse at Punta de Hidalgo in Tenerife, the Chipiona, Finisterre or Cabo de Gata.
Deputy Mayor, Ana Belén Castejon, said that this is great news for Cartagena: We have a unique coastline has great jewels like the lighthouse of Cabo de Palos.
Dozens of visitors walk daily by their surroundings and are impressed by his showmanship, he said.
Tourism promotion involved in this recognition has been highly valued by Castejon: The number of visitors we receive is growing.
Port of Cultures has hosted in the first half of the year to 210,000 visitors, representing an increase of 20 percent over the same period last year.
Advisor recognition is very positive because it is one of the most popular travel sites and because they are the users themselves who have chosen our beacon as one of the most spectacular twenty of Spain.
