About this stone
This striking white lighthouse perches on rugged cliffs overlooking the wild waters of the Cantabrian Sea, guiding sailors since the 19th century. It stands next to a small chapel and cemetery, creating a peaceful yet dramatic atmosphere where ocean, sky, and history collide. One of the most scenic viewpoints in Asturias, it's a quiet, windswept spot perfect for reflection and a favorite stop for pilgrims walking the Camino del Norte. The stone was carried here as a companion on a 300-kilometer journey along Spain's northern coast through Asturias and Cantabria, a trek filled with encounters in mountain villages, quiet albergues, and unforgettable moments along the water's edge.
