The lighthouse at Torrox Costa is approximately 50 kms to the east of the city of Málaga.
This stretch of coastline has bamboo fringed beaches and is immediately east of the “Balcon de Torrox“, constructed as a lookout to the sea and headlands, with transparent flooring looking down on the Roman necropolis unearthed beneath.
I particularly like the contrast of the white-painted lighthouse against the clear, blue, Andalucián summer sky, fringed with the wild bamboo fronds.
The perspective of the height of the structure is completely lost in the vegetation.

I love light houses and this one looks amazing. We are actually looking at property in your area. You never know, we may meet up one day. Love your blog.
Are you really, Darlene? How exciting!
That would be great to meet up sometime – keep me posted, won’t you? 🙂 🙂
My hubby is British and his parents retired to the Costa Blanca a few years ago. So we are thinking of moving to Spain as well. I’ll let you know how it goes. I really appreciated your list of the cost of things.
I will be in this area in about 6 weeks time visiting some friends who now live there. Can’t wait
OOHHH excellent – the weather will be lovely then, too.
Hope you have a great time, Ruth 🙂
thank you, so looking forward to it
I love the way you framed the lighthouse 🙂
Thanks Richard – hope you’re keeping well these days 🙂
I am… just wrapping up a visit with James… back home tomorrow 🙂
Lovely! 🙂
A beautiful shot, Marianne. That lighthouse must be something to see from all angles, whether cast against the blue sky or the Mediterranean. I bet it gets photographed countless times on sunny days.
Yes, I guess it must do, John. Most subjects look much more attractive in the sunshine with blue skies though, don’t they? 🙂
Thanks for your comment – always appreciated.
Amazing perspective! I really enjoy visiting lighthouses. This one seems quite unusual. Thanks for sharing.
No, it’s really quite ordinary – maybe it looks unusual because of the perspective.
Glad you enjoyed it though 🙂
Oh, look at that blue sky! So envious! Great photo!
I love the perspective on this Marianne
A stunning shot Marianne, the white against that fabulous sky!
I do too, Marianne 🙂
Beautiful – need to take a drive down to the coast now we’re back!
Love the perspective on this shot, Marianne. Great angle.
Great shot of the lighthouse! I like the contrast and the angel you took.
Such colors, so beautiful – excellent captured… 🙂
Did you comb those reeds with a toothbrush? 😉
Lovely picture! The sky seems to really glow. I would like to see the transparent flooring you mention – is it like a grill or have they put in glass? I always feel quite strange when i walk over things like that 🙂
