At the Ѳٱá peninsula’s southern end, a prominent rocky outcrop is the base for this lighthouse, which is 135m above sea level. Join the locals either early in the morning or around sunset for a climb up here (it takes around 20 minutes) for a spectacular view of the city and coast. For M$10, you can wander out onto the see-through plexiglass Miradór de Cristal at the top.
