The Costa de Dixo lighthouse forms a privileged balcony from which to look out onto the Atlantic horizon where the mouths of three estuaries can be seen: La Coruña estuary, with a picture of the city behind the head of the statue of Hercules and the Betanzos and Ares area, which hides a pleasant coast. It is a historic lighthouse that was designed to monitor the movements of ships in centuries past, and still stands today as a distinctive jewel of the city.
