Geocache Description:



Farolim de Felgueiras 

[PT]
Farolim neoclássico de planta hexagonal, com dez metros de altura, datado de 1886. Possui varandim e lanterna vermelhos e um pequeno edifício anexo com paredes rebocadas e pintadas de branco. A designação "Molhe de Felgueiras" foi-lhe atribuída por ter sido construído em direcção à pedra de Felgueiras, a Oeste. Foi modernizado em 1945 e automatizado em 1979, passando a ser controlado à distância a partir do farol de Leça. Nos anos 90 sofreu obras de conservação. Antes da sua desactivação, em 2009, o farolim tinha um alcance de 9 milhas náuticas, emitindo um relâmpago vermelho a cada 5 segundos. Actualmente mantém apenas o sinal sonoro.

Felgueiras Quay

[EN]
Neoclassical lighthouse with a hexagonal format, ten meters high, dated from 1886. It has a red balcony and lantern and a small annex building with plastered walls painted white. The name "Molhe de Felgueiras" was given because it was built facing the stone of Felgueiras, to the West. It was modernised in 1945 and automated in 1979, and was controlled from a distance from the Leça lighthouse. It underwent conservation works in the 90's. Before being deactivated in 2009, the light has a range of 9 nautical miles, issuing a red light every 5 seconds. It currently only has the sound signal.
