Punta Mulas lighthouse
It was allegedly built on the site of a Frenchman's villa called, rather unoriginally,
Mon
Repos
, which eventually became known to the locals as
Morropo
. But as picturesque as
this lighthouse may be, it doesn't hold a candle to the deserted lighthouse on the Caribbean
side of the island, a couple of miles below the gates of the old Navy base.
Inaccessible by car, the Puerto Ferro lighthouse has been on our list of must-sees for
years. When we finally decided to bike out one day, not long ago, to take a look, we wer-
en't disappointed. If you worked with every fiber of your being to create a structure that
screamed “lighthouse ruin” you couldn't do a better job than time and chance have done
here.
