The APB successfully organized last Saturday, the first lighthouse open house, through a Facebook page that is linked to the web portal www.farsdebalears.com.

 

The lighthouse chosen for this initiative was at Porto Colom in the Majorcan municipality of Felanitx and the response from lighthouse enthusiasts was excellent.

 

About one hundred people took the opportunity to climb up to the lighthouse beacon of Portocolom, where the technician responsible maritime signals for this installation, Paco Montanes, told visitors stories and intriguing anecdotes about this particular lighthouse.

 

Because of the interest lighthouses arouse among the general public all around the world and the existent demand to satisfy this interest, the APB decided to share this precious heritage, in both a material and human documentary that revolves around the world of lighthouses in the Balearic Islands with the creation of the web portal www.farsdebalears.com.
