Actually the oldest extant lighthouse, a landmark in A Coruna. I walked up there today to climb it. It was a beautiful sunny warm day. Here is the walkway up to it.
I walk up there, up the steps and go to the entrance. Two people were guarding the entrance. A ticket booth was off to the left. I said I wanted a ticket and they said you can’t get them here, you get them at the kiosk as you enter the park. Okay I’m Camino guy, I can do that. Down the ramp, the stones on concrete are quite unpleasant to walk on. Way over to the kiosk. Two people there guarding the ticket booth. Wait for one guy. Use the disinfectant they require. Put on my mask. Go to the booth. They ask me what country I’m from. I get the ticket that is only good for 30 minutes. Guess what? It’s free on Saturday, but you still need a ticket, from the kiosk, at the entrance to the park. Walk back to the ramp. Walk up the ramp and the stairs and give her the ticket.
It is about 250 steps up, I counted. Standard tower steps, square, five steps a flight then turn 90 degrees. 20-30 circular staircase steps at the end. I’m the only one there. The views are great. Overall I saw them turn away 5-6 people with no tickets. I came back, not sure how many others did.
Wow! Gorgeous views. Glad you persisted and went back.
