Faro de Portopi is within the premises of a Spanish naval facility and not accessible to tourists. Notwithstanding that, my wife and I walked all the way from our cruise port in Majorca, Spain, on MSC Seaview in order to take a closer look at it. Having first visited, by climbing many stairs up, the even more famous lighthouse in Genoa (for six euros a person) a few days earlier as a port of call of our 7-day cruise on MSC Seaview, we were determined to get as close to it as we physically could. Though eventually barred from entry as part of this naval facility, we were able to approach a local overlook onto the deep blue Atlantic Ocean under a sunny sky..... As night fell with MSC Seaview sailing away from the Majorca, Spain, cruise port, I took many photos of that lighthouse as a reminder to myself that I had made my best efforts to get as close to it as humanly possible.
