This is the most direct way from El Pilar de la Mola to the lighthouse that keeps off the road, through a landscape that feels a hundred years older than the coast. You pass fields and livestock, and on the left a house listed as architectural heritage for its traditional features: an entrance porch, thick walls with small windows and dry stone walls built at perfect right angles.

The route ends at Far de la Mola, on the cliff edge at the eastern tip of the island. Beside it stands a monument to Jules Verne, who mentioned the island and its lighthouse in his novel Hector Servadac.
