Everyone who knows me knows that I have a huge weakness for lighthouses. And I don't know why, but I missed showing you this part of Fuerteventura with the snow white lighthouse of Jandia.
The Puerto del Morro Jable was built in the 1980s in order to connect Fuerteventura with the other Canary Islands. Get comfortable in a seashore restaurant, sip a coffee, and observe fishing and sport boats maneuvering around big ferries.
The Morro Jable Lighthouse came into service in 1996 and is still active today. It stands next to the beach and the salt marsh. It was conceived as a unique lighthouse, which should serve as a landmark and a reference in its surroundings, in the style of the old English lighthouses. Its height is 60 meters.
“The calming movement of the sea along with the restless ocean breeze gently caresses me creating a soothing trance which lulls me to a place of peace.”
– M. L. Borges
We haven't visited this south part of the island often and feel more at home in the middle and on the west coast.

Strange how the water comes into shore in lines like the photo you posted. That last photograph you could frame and hang on a wall.

Fuerteventura is a dream. I`m a little bit jealous ;))) We love the ocean too and the wind there. Rememberings of holiday in Ireland coming. Oh I smell the salt....
I love the lighthouse and beautiful views of the sea and boats.
AntwortenLöschenTake care, have a great day and happy week ahead.
beautiful images. I love lighthouses too. I always thought I would like to stay in a lighthouse cottage, but I am sure the reality would be different to the dream. Enjoy your week. I am joining you at Mosaic Monday.
