Mensaje de Sergio

Farol de Albarnaz is a lighthouse on Flores Island in the Azores, built in 1925. Located at Ponta de Albarnaz on the island’s northwest tip, it stands 9 meters tall, with its light visible up to 22 nautical miles (about 40 kilometers).

The lighthouse is crucial for navigation in this remote region, guiding ships through the challenging waters of the North Atlantic. From the lighthouse, you can see the island of Corvo, the smallest of the Azores, about 20 kilometers to the northeast, and the small islet of Ilhéu João Martins, known for its rugged cliffs and seabird habitat.

The lighthouse is named after the cape on which it is situated, Ponta de Albarnaz. The name "Albarnaz" likely comes from an old Portuguese surname or local toponym.
