Geocache Description:

The start posision of this multicache is one of the most visited landmark on the hole island. When you are at the stage 1 with the coordinates you are at the very sothern point on Gran Canary.


When you are here at the coordinates you may take som nice photoes and upload. If you come here in the evening when the sun goes down in west it is fantastic view. Or in the morning around 7 when it comes up in the east.

Ok.. you start here and the first you shall do is count the steps down to a lower level on that peer. The number of steps is letter A

Then you turn around at take a look at the light house. Did you think I want to have the hight of the lighthouse. On no. I will tell you. 

The Maspalomas Lighthouse (Spanish: Faro de Maspalomas) is an active 19th century lighthouse at the southern end of the Spanish island of Gran Canaria, in the Canary archipelago. It lies at one end of the Maspalomas beach, 4 kilometres (2.5 mi) south of the resort town centre, next to the area known as the Maspalomas Dunes.

The lighthouse is a distinctive landmark in the resort, and is the tallest masonry lighthouse in the Canaries at 56 m (184 ft), being superseded only by the more modern 59 m (194 ft) concrete Morro Jable lighthouse onFuerteventura.

With a focal height of 60 m (197 ft) above the sea, its light can be seen for 19 nautical miles, and consists of a pattern of three flashes of white light, over a period of thirteen seconds.
 

Ok. but what I want to know is: How many round windows do you see. That is letter B. How many square windows do you see at the lighthouse total buildings? (not at the very top where the light is). That is letter C

 

Now you can walk to Stage 2: N 27 44.((80*B)+(C/2))  W 015 35.940-(A*4)+C

Here is the question: How many equal obelisk do you see there. The letter is D

Take the coord from stage 2 and work with that:
The last 3 digits on the North cord you have here is xxx. Now you add ((A*6)-(B-1)) and you have the new North coord.
For the West you do the same. The last digits is yyy and you just add (D-1)

 

 

Notice that the container is not a normal box, although you may found others from my hand with similar container. Take at pen with you. Open the container at the end with a small round plug, NOT the other end.

Please be aware of mugglers.
