Lighthouse on Illa Pancha in Galicia, Spain
Beacon of blue
Although this rocky Galician islet is just a short walk from one side to the other, this humble yet colourful hut isn't its only lighthouse. Illa Pancha is home to two signal lights, one in the squat shack seen here (which now doubles as a holiday home) and a second in its cylindrical mate next door. Often seen speckled with pretty pink wildflowers, the isle's lush grasses are an apt accent to the baby-blue trim of these cosy quarters.

Rainier and greener than most other parts of Spain, Galicia still gets its fair share of blue skies.
