About Felgueiras Lighthouse

Built in 1886, the Farol de Felgueiras stands on a rocky jetty at the mouth of the Douro, marking the point where the river gives way to open ocean. It's still an active navigational light, and its stone pier is one of the best places in the city to watch the Atlantic break — especially dramatic in stormy weather.
