The Chipiona Lighthouse, an iconic maritime structure, rises 69 meters above the coast, making it the tallest lighthouse in Spain. Visitors can ascend the spiral staircase to the lantern room, where a 360-degree panorama of the Atlantic Ocean, the Guadalquivir River mouth, and the surrounding countryside unfolds. The lighthouse, painted in distinctive red and white bands, has guided ships since the 19th century. Its location on a small peninsula provides a dramatic setting, with crashing waves and sea breezes. A small museum at the base explains the lighthouse's history and operation.
