Blue and white Isla Pancha Lighthouse, sailboat, purple flower field, Ribadeo, Spain

Beacon of blue

Though this rocky Galician islet measures just a few hundred feet across, this humble yet colorful 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 vacation rental) 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 cozy quarters.
