Lighthouse in Estepona

The construction of the Punta Doncella Lighthouse took place between 1861 and 1863 under the direction of engineer Antonio Molina. Initially, the light beam was elevated just over 8 meters above the ground and 18 meters above sea level, with a range of approximately 12 nautical miles. In 1918, the light flashes were standardized, a feature that remains to this day. In 1922, a new 20-meter tower was erected to improve the signal.


The current lighthouse retains its octagonal stone tower, although the building has undergone renovations and expansions. The signaling is now automated, with a new computer-controlled remote system for operation.


In terms of its characteristics, the Punta Doncella Lighthouse has a total height of 22 meters. It emits 1+2 flashes every 15 seconds and has a theoretical range of 18 nautical miles. Its operation is automatic and electric, with photoelectric cell ignition, ensuring efficiency and precision in maritime signaling.
