Located in Lanzarote, in the town of Yaiza, there is Castillo de las Coloradas, also known as Torre del Águila, receives the name of Las Coloradas because close to it is the beach of the same name. This fortification dates from 1741 and is one of the most representative examples of military architecture in the Canary archipelago. The objective of the construction of this structure was to defend against attacks by pirates that the island suffered at the time.

The Castle of the Coloradas had to be reformed in 1769 when it was totally destroyed after a fire provoked by Algerian troops.

The fortress has a circular shape, and was raised on the ruins of an ancient tower called Rubicon Tower, it can be accessed through a drawbridge and was built with stone of stonework, wood of tea and lime.

The Tower belonged to the army until 1936, after ceasing to be used as a military fortress it was handed over to the Ministry of Finance and in 1978 the property became the City Council of Yaiza. The town hall was in charge of restoring it, becoming today one of the points of interest of the picturesque coastal path that runs along the south coast of Lanzarote.

An interesting and picturesque place is the lighthouse of Punta Pechiguera, a lighthouse that is located in the municipality of Yaiza, in the southern part of the island Lanzarote and which serves as a guide for boats passing through the strait of La Bocayna, which is a maritime passage that separates the islands from Lanzarote and Fuerteventura.

The characteristics of the Faro Pechiguera have the following characteristics: it is of 4º order of fixed white light, it was inaugurated in 1866. It is a building of rectangular plant and is divided in three parts by On one side we find the house of the lighthouse keepers, on the other hand we have the tower and finally the lighthouse has the store.

With regard to the exterior of the building, it has arched windows framed in stonework, and also highlights the ashlar ornaments finished on the cornice of the lighthouse. The same building acts as a shoe to withstand the pushes of the cylindrical tower of basaltic ashlar, being crowned by the machinery of the lamp that emits the light. A lantern raised about 15.6 meters above sea level and 9.5 from its point where it is anchored in the rock.
