Since the beginning of the year, the Punta Robaleira Lighthouse has been equipped with a new Racón. The Vigo Port Authority has installed this maritime equipment, which has been supplied by Almarin, a company specialized in maritime signals. In this way, the conditions of navigation at the entrance of the Ría de Vigo will be improved.
