Engineer Salvador López Miño is in charge of developing the project of this sixth order lighthouse with a range of 6 miles that runs between 1906 and 1907, coming into operation in 1909.
In 1923 the lighting was modified giving it a new range of 7 miles. This project was carried out by the engineer Mauro Serret.
In 1924 the torrero was automatized and dispensed with. In 1985/89, it was electrified and added to that of Punta Ínsua.
