Beacon

I get regular photos from B of his trip through northern Spain. This is at A Coruña, in the northwest  Galician region of the Iberian peninsula.








This lighthouse, locally called the Tower of Hercules, was built by the Romans in the 100's AD and has been in continuous use since then. It was refurbished in the 18th century, but there it is, almost 2000 years old.
