The Lighthouse Lowdown

Welcome to our first Spanish lighthouse, which happens to be the last lighthouse built in Cantabria, Spain. Faro de Ajo, or Garlic Lighthouse, flew under the radar for most of its existence until one very controversial event put it on the map (for tourists at least) and made it the most colorful lighthouse in the world. Seriously, you're going to want to check out our Instagram for this one!

00:00:17,600 Welcome to a Sunday morning in the podcast. 5 00:00:17,600 --> 00:00:19,600 We're in the RipRap studio. 6 00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,000 And today we've got our Starbucks coffee 7 00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:25,000 and we're gonna tee things off. 8 00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:29,200 I had a free one with my star accumulation 9 00:00:29,200 --> 00:00:32,400 and that's why I always get a large 10 00:00:32,400 --> 00:00:35,400 with an extra shot of espresso and almond milk. 11 00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:37,000 Tell everyone what your order is 12 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,200 in case they want to send you one. 13 00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:39,000 Oh my gosh. 14 00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:41,600 Well, if you want to, you should go to our Linktree link 15 00:00:41,600 --> 00:00:43,000 that's in our show notes. 16 00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:44,800 You can send us a coffee. 17 00:00:44,800 --> 00:00:47,600 But it's actually a coin in our treasure chest. 18 00:00:47,600 --> 00:00:49,200 It's the way that we have it written out. 19 00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:50,000 Yeah. 20 00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000 But that coin will go towards coffee. 21 00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,600 Oh, another fun thing having to do with coffee 22 00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:58,000 is that Captain Cecil Coffee is sending us 23 00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:02,800 a couple bags of their Ground Atlantic coffee, I think. 24 00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:03,800 Nice. 25 00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:06,200 We'll post their information on the episode 26 00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:07,200 where we do this. 27 00:01:07,200 --> 00:01:09,800 But Vince and I are gonna go ahead and give it a try 28 00:01:09,800 --> 00:01:11,000 and tell you guys how it is. 29 00:01:11,000 --> 00:01:13,200 And then we'll be doing a giveaway 30 00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,000 for a bag of their Atlantic coffee. 31 00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:17,000 So you guys won't want to miss that one. 32 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,000 I think it's, their branding is very on par for us. 33 00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:24,600 Yeah, I've never had Captain Cecil's coffee, 34 00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:27,400 but their Instagram. 35 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:29,600 No matter what, you gotta check their Instagram out. 36 00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:30,600 It's really cool. 37 00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:34,800 First off, it matches our theme, Nonicle Lighthouse. 38 00:01:34,800 --> 00:01:37,000 But they have very good photography. 39 00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:39,000 I don't know if they all have one person that does that. 40 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:39,800 I don't know. 41 00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,400 We've been a fan of Captain Cecil's Instagram for a while. 42 00:01:42,400 --> 00:01:42,800 Yeah. 43 00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,400 The first time I made it on Instagram, 44 00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:46,000 actually, they were one of the first people I followed. 45 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,800 So we're happy to be doing a little collaboration with them 46 00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,000 and get to give you guys a free bag of their coffee. 47 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:51,800 So much fun. 48 00:01:51,800 --> 00:01:53,400 And they have new packaging, so you guys 49 00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:54,600 will get to see it all. 50 00:01:54,600 --> 00:01:58,800 Our other sponsor for today is Newegg.com. 51 00:01:58,800 --> 00:02:00,400 They're a standing sponsor with us. 52 00:02:00,400

yesterday. 58 00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,400 And I ordered a ergonomic, upright mouse. 59 00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:19,200 So I'm excited to get that. 60 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,000 A little bit of cash back in our lives. 61 00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,000 A little bit of cash back. 62 00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,800 So we appreciate Newegg's support. 63 00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:25,400 We appreciate your support as well. 64 00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:26,200 Yes. 65 00:02:26,200 --> 00:02:28,800 And now we're going to dive into our episode. 66 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,400 So I do have a history buoy. 67 00:02:30,400 --> 00:02:32,500 It has nothing to do with lighthouses, 68 00:02:32,500 --> 00:02:34,100 but it is a little bit nautical. 69 00:02:34,100 --> 00:02:36,100 And I'm actually really excited to talk about it 70 00:02:36,100 --> 00:02:38,600 because it's something I always knew about 71 00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,700 but discovered recently because I went to Hawaii 72 00:02:40,700 --> 00:02:42,700 and actually got to collect some. 73 00:02:42,700 --> 00:02:48,600 So my topic for the history buoy is sea glass. 74 00:02:48,600 --> 00:02:49,300 Oh, it's pretty. 75 00:02:49,300 --> 00:02:49,800 I know. 76 00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:52,000 It's a little bit of a blurry picture, but you know. 77 00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:53,800 We do see pictures. 78 00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,000 We'll have Instagram as well as YouTube. 79 00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:56,800 Oh, yeah, yeah. 80 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,000 YouTube, we do a screen share. 81 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,000 So you see everything that we're seeing the whole time. 82 00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:00,500 Yeah. 83 00:03:00,500 --> 00:03:03,200 And we've kind of, I don't like this as much, 84 00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,500 but I feel like we're making it harder for people 85 00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,000 to just listen to the podcast and not watch it on YouTube. 86 00:03:09,000 --> 00:03:11,200 Because I'm like, oh, yeah, see, it's over here. 87 00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:12,000 It's over here. 88 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,800 And it's like no one listening to the podcast 89 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:15,400 would be able to know what I'm talking about. 90 00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,200 So I'm just trying to, I got to get back 91 00:03:17,200 --> 00:03:19,800 into the mindset of describing things first 92 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,800 and that you and I can look at it. 93 00:03:21,800 --> 00:03:23,200 But you know. 94 00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:24,200 I'll try to do that as well. 95 00:03:24,200 --> 00:03:25,800 Keep everybody in the loop. 96 00:03:25,800 --> 00:03:26,600 In the loop, dude. 97 00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:28,000 Yeah. 98 00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:28,500 Right. 99 00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:29,700 OK, so sea glass. 100 00:03:29,700 --> 00:03:32,800 OK, these are seen commonly when you go to beaches, 101 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:34,800 very specific ones that I'll talk about as well. 102 00:03:34,800 --> 00:03:37,300 And actually highly sought after by local artists 103 00:03:37,300 --> 00:03:41,200 that live around lakes and oceans. 104 00:03:41,200 --> 00:03:42,500 Because they're common in jewelry 105 00:03:42,500 --> 00:03:46,400 and some colors are extremely rare. 106 00:03:46,400 --> 00:03:48,800 And so it's kind of like hunting. 107 00:03:48,800 --> 00:03:50,300 You know, you're doing sea glass. 108 00:03:50,300 --> 00:03:50,900 Collection. 109 00:03:50,900 --> 00:03:51,400 Yeah. 110 00:03:51,400 --> 00:03:53,400 And we actually talked about that recently 111 00:03:53,400 --> 00:03:56,200 is that people that look for sea glass, 112 00:03:56,200 --> 00:03:58,000 it's like a big thing. 113 00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:00,800 It's like a community of people that look for sea glass. 114 00:04:00,800 --> 00:04:04,400 Same thing as people that look for shark teeth and stuff. 115 00:04:04,400 --> 00:04:04,900 Oh, yeah. 116 00:04:04,900 --> 00:04:06,400 Yeah, like while I was in Florida, 117 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,700 people were just looking for shark teeth in the morning. 118 00:04:08,700 --> 00:04:11,000 I would walk by someone, any shark teeth? 119 00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,300 And I'm like, oh, I found one. 120 00:04:12,300 --> 00:04:14,200 But that was the moment that I realized 121 00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:16,200 that everyone was out there looking for shark teeth 122 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:17,400 and not just for seashells. 123 00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:18,900 Because I was looking for seashells 124 00:04:18,900 --> 00:04:20,400 and I just happened to find a shark tooth. 125 00:04:20,400 --> 00:04:21,800 And I was like, oh, cool. 126 00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:22,700 That is cool. 127 00:04:22,700 --> 00:04:24,700 Yeah, and then they asked me as I'm walking by. 128 00:04:24,700 --> 00:04:26,000 And I'm like, yeah, I did find one. 129 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:29,400 And they're like, oh, it's like a rejuvenation of searching. 130 00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,400 They're on the trail. 131 00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,400 They got it. 132 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,200 I found a little bit of sea glass in Hawaii 133 00:04:34,200 --> 00:04:35,400 during Christmas time. 134 00:04:35,400 --> 00:04:37,200 And the beach was actually full of them. 135 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:38,700 They're really small pieces. 136 00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:41,800 And I'll talk about the rarity and importance 137 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:45,000 of the color of sea glass that you find. 138 00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,400 So I was finding pieces that are deemed very common. 139 00:04:48,400 --> 00:04:50,600 Didn't find red or orange or anything like that. 140 00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,300 But that's kind of what people are looking for 141 00:04:52,300 --> 00:04:54,600 is those rare colors. 142 00:04:54,600 --> 00:04:55,600 What is this? 143 00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:56,440 What is sea glass? 144 00:04:56,440 --> 00:04:59,200 Sea glass is, a lot of people think 145 00:04:59,200 --> 00:05:00,800 that it's a naturally occurring object. 146 00:05:00,800 --> 00:05:03,600 But it's actually just broken glass 147 00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:07,800 that spends anywhere between 20 to 200 years 148 00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:11,000 being tossed around and then comes back up on shore 149 00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000 looking like this, this tumbled rock. 150 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:17,700 And any glass that you find that isn't as tumbled 151 00:05:17,700 --> 00:05:20,600 is not really deemed sea glass 152 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,300 because it needs to spend at least 20 years 153 00:05:23,300 --> 00:05:25,700 tumbling around to get this effect. 154 00:05:25,700 --> 00:05:29,400 And can show up anywhere after 200 years as well. 155 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:30,700 A minimum of 20 years? 156 00:05:30,700 --> 00:05:31,540 Yeah. 157 00:05:31,540 --> 00:05:34,000 So glass from land. 158 00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:34,840 Mm-hmm. 159 00:05:34,840 --> 00:05:35,680 Okay. 160 00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,600 Yeah, so it could even be like windshields and stuff break. 161 00:05:38,600 --> 00:05:42,140 And then the thing is if they show up earlier than 20 years, 162 00:05:42,140 --> 00:05:43,360 they don't look like sea glass. 163 00:05:43,360 --> 00:05:44,680 So they're not sea glass. 164 00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:46,960 So the 20 years is kind of like the minimum cap 165 00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,400 of when it could wash up on shore 166 00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,940 and you'd say that's sea glass. 167 00:05:49,940 --> 00:05:50,780 Yeah. 168 00:05:50,780 --> 00:05:53,400 I wonder, well windshields today are made of safety glass. 169 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:54,240 Mm-hmm. 170 00:05:54,240 --> 00:05:55,440 Which is like high stress. 171 00:05:55,440 --> 00:05:56,880 So when it breaks. Yeah, little pieces. 172 00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:57,720 It shatters. 173 00:05:57,720 --> 00:06:01,180 But I wonder, yeah, yeah, sorry to interrupt. 174 00:06:01,180 --> 00:06:03,440 The size, I don't know what size these are, 175 00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,440 but the size that comes up, 176 00:06:04,440 --> 00:06:05,680 I wonder how big the glass was 177 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:06,800 that started to make that piece. 178 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,040 Yeah, well most of the sea glass that I found in Hawaii 179 00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,840 were like little pea sized. 180 00:06:10,840 --> 00:06:11,680 Oh cool. 181 00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,480 Yeah, very tiny or like a fingernail or something. 182 00:06:14,480 --> 00:06:16,580 But some people find some pretty big pieces. 183 00:06:16,580 --> 00:06:20,440 But since it's glass, it's like for it to be large, 184 00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:21,880 it would be large and thin 185 00:06:21,880 --> 00:06:25,000 because it came from like a bottle or something. 186 00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,000 But the older it is, the thicker it can be 187 00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:29,680 because glass, like bottles back then 188 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:31,520 were a lot thicker than what we have today. 189 00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,240 It's like glass pieces are physically tumbled 190 00:06:34,240 --> 00:06:36,200 by waves and stuff and then chemically as well 191 00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:38,200 because of all the salt in the water. 192 00:06:38,200 --> 00:06:39,080 And there's- Seyenne did salt. 193 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:41,680 Yeah, and there's actually beach glass, 194 00:06:41,680 --> 00:06:43,320 which is freshwater glass. 195 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:46,560 So that would come out commonly from like the Great Lakes. 196 00:06:46,560 --> 00:06:47,960 It's a lot less frosted 197 00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:50,520 because there's no salt aspect coming in. 198 00:06:50,520 --> 00:06:51,360 Interesting. 199 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:52,960 Yeah, so you can tell the difference between. 200 00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:55,120 Sea glass is also called drift glass. 201 00:06:55,120 --> 00:06:56,160 They're interchangeable. 202 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:58,840 And actually a lot of the glass we pick up 203 00:06:58,840 --> 00:07:00,120 can come from shipwrecks. 204 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:01,960 So it's kind of a cool thing. 205 00:07:01,960 --> 00:07:02,800 That's gorgeous. 206 00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:03,700 We're looking at a photo. 207 00:07:03,700 --> 00:07:04,560 I can't tell the scale, 208 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,400 but it looks like a collection of pebbles, 209 00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:12,400 blues and pinks and red and green, clear. 210 00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:14,400 It's a big variety. 211 00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:16,040 Somebody's proud of this collection a bit. 212 00:07:16,040 --> 00:07:19,520 Well, sea glass can also be like pottery pieces 213 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,520 or like porcelain, like from China or something. 214 00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:25,800 Ceramic, yeah. 215 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,400 I have on here that the beach glass, 216 00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,140 I was talking about freshwater, 217 00:07:30,140 --> 00:07:31,320 it's common from the Great Lakes 218 00:07:31,320 --> 00:07:34,100 and more commonly is embossed with labels. 219 00:07:34,100 --> 00:07:37,280 It's like larger pieces that aren't ground down so far. 220 00:07:37,280 --> 00:07:39,300 So you can still see like if there are labels on it, 221 00:07:39,300 --> 00:07:42,040 which makes it easier to trace its origin. 222 00:07:42,040 --> 00:07:45,120 Sea glass is most often found in places like Scotland, 223 00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:49,360 Hawaii, Bermuda, Southern Spain, Australia, 224 00:07:49,360 --> 00:07:51,840 Northeast England and Northeast US. 225 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:54,360 And all of those are noted for having an abundance of glass. 226 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,880 So like you can find sea glass anywhere, 227 00:07:57,880 --> 00:08:01,200 but you'd be most likely to find it in those areas. 228 00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:02,280 Okay. 229 00:08:02,280 --> 00:08:03,240 And it's getting harder to find 230 00:08:03,240 --> 00:08:05,760 since plastic is taking over the world 231 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:08,920 and people are, it's becoming more popular 232 00:08:08,920 --> 00:08:11,680 to look for sea glass, like while you're on vacation 233 00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,200 or local artists use that a lot. 234 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,200 So it's just getting harder and harder to find. 235 00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:18,760 But the colors are the best part about looking for sea glass 236 00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,100 in my opinion, makes it the most fun. 237 00:08:21,100 --> 00:08:23,400 And obviously the color comes from its origin 238 00:08:23,400 --> 00:08:26,960 and colors are common or uncommon depending on the likelihood 239 00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:30,600 of the origin being in the ocean and how old it is. 240 00:08:30,600 --> 00:08:33,900 So the most common colors are Kelly green, 241 00:08:33,900 --> 00:08:35,680 clear, brown and white. 242 00:08:35,680 --> 00:08:38,740 And these can come from beer bottles, juices, 243 00:08:38,740 --> 00:08:43,400 just normal glasses like plates or water cups 244 00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:45,720 or something and windshields. 245 00:08:45,720 --> 00:08:50,640 And then one in every 25 to a hundred pieces are Jade, 246 00:08:50,640 --> 00:08:55,000 Amber, which comes from whiskey, medicine, spirits 247 00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,160 and early bleach bottles. 248 00:08:57,160 --> 00:09:00,960 Lime green, which come from soda bottles in the 1960s. 249 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,860 Ice blue, which is also medicine bottles, soda bottles, 250 00:09:03,860 --> 00:09:07,800 Inca bottles and fruit bottles from 19th and 20th centuries. 251 00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:09,520 So pretty cool. 252 00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:13,080 And then one in every 50 to 100 pieces are a specific type 253 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:15,920 of green, I didn't look it up, but I think it'd probably 254 00:09:15,920 --> 00:09:18,280 be recognizable that are from Coca Cola 255 00:09:18,280 --> 00:09:20,760 and Dr. Pepper bottles from the mid 1900s. 256 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:26,080 One in every 200 to 1000 pieces are purple, citron, 257 00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,240 citron, citron? 258 00:09:29,660 --> 00:09:31,920 It's like a yellow, right? 259 00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:33,400 Yeah, like a orange yellow. 260 00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:34,400 It's like citrus. 261 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:38,800 There's opaque white, which comes from when milk came 262 00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:43,800 in glass bottles and cornflower blue, which is from early 263 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,720 milk of magnesium bottles and poison bottles. 264 00:09:47,720 --> 00:09:48,560 Of course. 265 00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:50,220 I was like, oh cool. 266 00:09:50,220 --> 00:09:53,200 Also from early vapor rub containers. 267 00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:54,400 Okay. 268 00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:57,320 And also aqua, which are from certain bottles 269 00:09:57,320 --> 00:10:00,080 in the 19th century and ball mason jars. 270 00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:03,020 And then the most rare colors, and this is one in every 271 00:10:03,020 --> 00:10:06,960 1000 to 10,000 pieces of sea glass that are found 272 00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,680 can be gray, pink, which is from Great Depression era 273 00:10:10,680 --> 00:10:14,540 plates, teal, which is from Mattius wine bottles, 274 00:10:14,540 --> 00:10:16,860 which I looked up and they're actually pretty cool. 275 00:10:16,860 --> 00:10:19,780 Black, which is actually a very dark olive green 276 00:10:19,780 --> 00:10:24,780 that you can't see just by like finding it on the sand. 277 00:10:24,780 --> 00:10:28,480 So a lot of people mistake them for just like normal pieces 278 00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:30,600 of rock that come up. 279 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,360 They look exactly the same until you get a bright light 280 00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,320 under it and you can tell it's kind of olive. 281 00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,760 But these are from 18th century gin, beer, and wine bottles. 282 00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:39,840 So very old. 283 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:43,980 There's also yellow, which is from 1930s Vaseline containers. 284 00:10:43,980 --> 00:10:48,120 Red, which is Schlitz bottles and nautical lights. 285 00:10:48,120 --> 00:10:48,960 Schlitz. 286 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:49,800 Schlitz. 287 00:10:49,800 --> 00:10:51,160 It's a beer. 288 00:10:51,160 --> 00:10:52,000 Yeah. 289 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,320 I saw the bottles that they made that were red 290 00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,760 from the 50s or something, I think it was. 291 00:10:58,760 --> 00:11:02,520 And then the last one's orange, which I think would be hard 292 00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:05,320 to tell from like amber. 293 00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:07,560 Red, orange, amber, yeah. 294 00:11:07,560 --> 00:11:09,200 But that one's apparently the most rare. 295 00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,240 That's the one that's won in 10,000 cases. 296 00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:14,420 So and they didn't have anything listed for where 297 00:11:14,420 --> 00:11:15,260 that could come from. 298 00:11:15,260 --> 00:11:17,040 So I think that's probably where the rarity comes in. 299 00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:17,880 Orange glass. 300 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:21,920 There was some weird orange glass item that was broken. 301 00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,480 The glass all has its original color by manufacturer. 302 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:27,320 Yeah. 303 00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:32,320 And then the sand and salt, if it's ocean bound, 304 00:11:32,320 --> 00:11:33,920 are what give it the finish, 305 00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:35,080 but the color doesn't change. 306 00:11:35,080 --> 00:11:35,920 Is that true? 307 00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:37,920 I think maybe the color is a little bit muted. 308 00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:40,360 In the picture that we have up for people to look at, 309 00:11:40,360 --> 00:11:42,720 the red is still pretty vibrant. 310 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:45,440 And so I don't know if that's common for the rest of them 311 00:11:45,440 --> 00:11:47,560 that you can trust that the color is going to be exactly 312 00:11:47,560 --> 00:11:48,400 the same. 313 00:11:48,400 --> 00:11:51,360 Considering that black glass exists and it's not gray 314 00:11:51,360 --> 00:11:52,800 by the time you find it. 315 00:11:52,800 --> 00:11:55,000 And it's like this dark olive that you can't see 316 00:11:55,000 --> 00:11:57,320 unless you're really looking for it. 317 00:11:57,320 --> 00:12:00,740 I think probably the color is pretty much the same. 318 00:12:00,740 --> 00:12:03,960 Just has a frosted appearance. 319 00:12:03,960 --> 00:12:07,480 I wonder if there's people out there making it. 320 00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:10,440 Like you could use, like there's tumblers people use 321 00:12:10,440 --> 00:12:11,360 for cleaning ammunition. 322 00:12:11,360 --> 00:12:13,680 There is artificial sea glass now. 323 00:12:13,680 --> 00:12:16,060 Cause people like to use it for decorations. 324 00:12:16,060 --> 00:12:20,940 And when people fill glass containers with rocks 325 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:23,360 and seashells for decoration, it's stuff like that. 326 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,520 They definitely have artificial sea glass. 327 00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:27,360 It's cool. 328 00:12:27,360 --> 00:12:29,920 I've never thought about, I guess I have thought about it 329 00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:31,720 some, but I didn't think about the ocean. 330 00:12:31,720 --> 00:12:35,560 About the environmental impact of using glass containers 331 00:12:35,560 --> 00:12:37,120 versus plastics. 332 00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:42,120 To where 20 to 200 years you'll get an artistic pebble. 333 00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:44,200 Right? 334 00:12:44,200 --> 00:12:46,240 Versus I don't know the plastic impact. 335 00:12:46,240 --> 00:12:47,600 Maybe that's something we can look into. 336 00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:51,440 But I'm sure it's worse from what I've heard. 337 00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:54,360 But there's probably no harm to having glass in, 338 00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:56,420 I mean, or it's probably a relatively low harm. 339 00:12:56,420 --> 00:13:00,120 Glass particles that are all dissipated into new sand. 340 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:00,960 I guess. 341 00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:01,780 I don't know. 342 00:13:01,780 --> 00:13:04,040 It's beyond my knowledge, but it's interesting. 343 00:13:04,040 --> 00:13:05,720 Yeah, but that's what I got for sea glass. 344 00:13:05,720 --> 00:13:06,560 Cool. 345 00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:07,520 That is a fun little thing to cover. 346 00:13:07,520 --> 00:13:08,360 It's gorgeous. 347 00:13:08,360 --> 00:13:09,200 Do you have any sea glass? 348 00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:10,020 I do. 349 00:13:10,020 --> 00:13:10,860 It's in my glass room. 350 00:13:10,860 --> 00:13:13,660 I was thinking about putting a couple in some of the 351 00:13:13,660 --> 00:13:15,160 coasters that I'm working on. 352 00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:16,000 What? 353 00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:16,820 You have a glass room? 354 00:13:16,820 --> 00:13:17,660 Why don't you tell us about that? 355 00:13:17,660 --> 00:13:18,840 Oh my gosh. 356 00:13:18,840 --> 00:13:20,760 I do stained glass. 357 00:13:20,760 --> 00:13:21,800 I have a small business. 358 00:13:21,800 --> 00:13:23,440 It's called Blue Glassworks. 359 00:13:23,440 --> 00:13:25,600 You can find me on Instagram. 360 00:13:25,600 --> 00:13:30,240 And I mostly make panels, some jewelry. 361 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,040 I'm working on coasters and some propagation stations. 362 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,320 If anybody's a planty type. 363 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,160 Yeah, check me out. 364 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,000 Cool. 365 00:13:38,000 --> 00:13:38,820 At Blue Glassworks. 366 00:13:38,820 --> 00:13:40,520 And so we're gonna move on to the lighthouse. 367 00:13:40,520 --> 00:13:44,720 This one is very special because of its appearance. 368 00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,800 The lighthouse we're covering is in Spain. 369 00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:48,920 Oh, go ahead and put it up. 370 00:13:48,920 --> 00:13:50,280 Let's pull up a photo. 371 00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:51,240 Pull it up, Emily. 372 00:13:51,240 --> 00:13:54,940 It is the Faro de Ajo Lighthouse, 373 00:13:54,940 --> 00:13:58,400 which is translated to Garlic Lighthouse. 374 00:13:58,400 --> 00:13:59,680 Can you pull that up for me? 375 00:13:59,680 --> 00:14:00,520 Oh yeah. 376 00:14:00,520 --> 00:14:02,080 For us, it's on a 65 inch screen. 377 00:14:02,080 --> 00:14:03,680 That's about two feet away. 378 00:14:03,680 --> 00:14:06,560 But for you all, much better. 379 00:14:06,560 --> 00:14:07,400 Cool. 380 00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,240 That's gorgeous. 381 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:09,640 I like the pure white. 382 00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:10,480 It's very neat. 383 00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:11,480 Yes, it is neat. 384 00:14:11,480 --> 00:14:14,400 And I like the double gallery we've got going on. 385 00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,620 I'm not, I don't really know the meaning 386 00:14:17,620 --> 00:14:21,800 of having a double gallery, especially for viewing purposes 387 00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:24,760 because you're not allowed to climb the lighthouse 388 00:14:24,760 --> 00:14:25,680 or take a look at it. 389 00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:27,600 And we'll talk about the history, 390 00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:30,360 but this lighthouse was built later than the original design 391 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,120 and so I'm not sure why the second gallery is there. 392 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:34,960 You think they just had extra room in the budget? 393 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:36,200 Maybe, they were just like, 394 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:40,000 oh, it was accidentally copy and pasted on the blue beam. 395 00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:41,600 You know what, they probably, 396 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,120 it's a drawing mistake. 397 00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,680 They probably went ahead and installed the lower one 398 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:49,520 and then they're like, oh no. 399 00:14:49,520 --> 00:14:51,240 We'll just put a ladder between the two. 400 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,880 So this is located in Cantabria, Spain in Cabo de Ajo, 401 00:14:54,880 --> 00:14:57,040 which is just Cape garlic. 402 00:14:57,040 --> 00:14:58,840 It's an active guide to navigation. 403 00:14:58,840 --> 00:15:01,620 So it's being used today for navigating 404 00:15:01,620 --> 00:15:04,320 around this Northern coast of Spain. 405 00:15:04,320 --> 00:15:08,120 It's a white light and has a flash pattern of G, 406 00:15:08,120 --> 00:15:10,200 you know what, I'm just gonna show you 407 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:13,640 what this looks like, because we talked about this. 408 00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:14,480 Flash patterns? 409 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:16,000 Yes, the flash patterns. 410 00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:18,320 This is one that I have never seen before listed 411 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:21,040 and I'm wondering if it's because the US doesn't use it, 412 00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,240 but it took me a long time to figure out 413 00:15:23,240 --> 00:15:24,080 what the heck this. 414 00:15:24,080 --> 00:15:26,280 Spain's got their own flash patterns. 415 00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:27,120 Yeah. 416 00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:28,120 I guess everybody probably would, right? 417 00:15:28,120 --> 00:15:30,580 Yeah, and you know, this is listed as a possible one 418 00:15:30,580 --> 00:15:33,200 and so it's not like we have never used it. 419 00:15:33,200 --> 00:15:37,320 It's definitely not common for us to use this in the US. 420 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:39,920 Here's a stupid thing to say, but the ocean looks huge. 421 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:40,760 I know. 422 00:15:41,760 --> 00:15:42,600 I know it. 423 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:43,440 Characteristics. 424 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,920 Yeah, here we have light characteristics. 425 00:15:44,920 --> 00:15:46,640 Maybe I'll do another history buoy about it, 426 00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:48,240 try to explain it a little bit better. 427 00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,680 Or now that we have pictures available, 428 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,680 anyone who can't see this, it helped to see it visually, 429 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:57,600 what I'm talking about, but the flash pattern 430 00:15:57,600 --> 00:16:00,880 for the garlic lighthouse is group occulting, 431 00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:04,120 which is kind of like that whole, 432 00:16:05,020 --> 00:16:06,800 is a zebra black with white stripes 433 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,200 or white with black stripes? 434 00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:12,840 It's like normally we see flashing light, 435 00:16:12,840 --> 00:16:15,800 which is listed, or group flashing, 436 00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:18,360 which is basically periods of darkness 437 00:16:18,360 --> 00:16:20,720 that are interrupted by periods of light. 438 00:16:20,720 --> 00:16:22,880 And the flashing is usually shorter 439 00:16:22,880 --> 00:16:25,120 than the darkness periods. 440 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:26,840 But a group occulting is the opposite 441 00:16:26,840 --> 00:16:30,000 in which we have larger moments of light interrupted 442 00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:32,600 by moments of eclipses that are shorter. 443 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,280 The group occulting just means that you have these moments 444 00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:39,240 of darkness in groups of some number, usually three, 445 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:40,440 which is what we see on the screen, 446 00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,640 and what's also true for the garlic lighthouse. 447 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,320 So it's anti-flashing. 448 00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:47,160 Yeah. 449 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:48,800 It's constant light that's interrupted 450 00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:51,760 rather than darkness that has a flash introduced. 451 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:52,580 Interesting though. 452 00:16:52,580 --> 00:16:54,240 But yeah, I haven't seen group occulting before, 453 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,400 so it's kind of special for this lighthouse. 454 00:16:56,400 --> 00:17:00,160 It's also white, but since we're in Spain, 455 00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:01,560 white is blanco. 456 00:17:01,560 --> 00:17:02,400 Blanco. 457 00:17:02,400 --> 00:17:05,640 But then the flash pattern is GPOC3, 458 00:17:05,640 --> 00:17:07,720 which is that group occulting three. 459 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:10,520 And then B, and I was like, it's not blue 460 00:17:10,520 --> 00:17:12,120 because it says it's white. 461 00:17:12,120 --> 00:17:13,420 So it took me forever to realize 462 00:17:13,420 --> 00:17:14,920 that we're talking about Spain here. 463 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,680 So of course it's gonna be. 464 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:17,720 Yeah, you would have thrown me off 465 00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:18,560 if you didn't give me that hint. 466 00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:21,440 Yeah, it says that the group occulting period 467 00:17:21,440 --> 00:17:23,280 is a total of 12 seconds, 468 00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:26,120 and it has a range of 17 nautical miles. 469 00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:26,960 So that's what we're working with. 470 00:17:26,960 --> 00:17:27,800 Pretty good. 471 00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:28,620 Yeah, pretty good. 472 00:17:28,620 --> 00:17:31,100 It is the last lighthouse to be built in Contabria, 473 00:17:31,100 --> 00:17:33,060 so it's kind of special in that way. 474 00:17:33,060 --> 00:17:36,440 And starting in 2020, it became a masterpiece, 475 00:17:36,440 --> 00:17:37,280 which I'm glad to know. 476 00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:38,120 Starting in 2020? 477 00:17:38,120 --> 00:17:40,040 Mm-hmm, the year of COVID. 478 00:17:40,040 --> 00:17:42,200 Is this the newest lighthouse we've talked about? 479 00:17:42,200 --> 00:17:43,040 Like the most recent? 480 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:43,860 I think so. 481 00:17:43,860 --> 00:17:44,700 It's definitely. 482 00:17:44,700 --> 00:17:46,480 I mean, other than Paradise Island. 483 00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:48,400 It's interesting because you think about. 484 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:49,240 Being restored. 485 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:52,700 The last lighthouse built in Spain 486 00:17:52,700 --> 00:17:55,240 is going to be a lot, 487 00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,400 like America is very young. 488 00:17:58,400 --> 00:18:00,640 And the very first lighthouse to be built there 489 00:18:00,640 --> 00:18:03,460 is 1716, it's the Boston Light. 490 00:18:03,460 --> 00:18:05,560 There were lighthouses built in Spain 491 00:18:05,560 --> 00:18:07,440 in the first century. 492 00:18:07,440 --> 00:18:10,320 Talking about a Roman lighthouse in the first century. 493 00:18:10,320 --> 00:18:13,680 So any thing that says this is the last lighthouse 494 00:18:13,680 --> 00:18:16,760 to be built in Spain could be a lot longer ago 495 00:18:16,760 --> 00:18:20,200 than a lighthouse, the last lighthouse built in America. 496 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,680 We have lighthouses that were built in America 497 00:18:22,680 --> 00:18:25,200 in the 2000s. 498 00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,800 So I just thought it was interesting. 499 00:18:26,800 --> 00:18:28,760 The 2020, there's a change coming, 500 00:18:28,760 --> 00:18:32,360 but where is, so this is on the north coast of Spain? 501 00:18:32,360 --> 00:18:33,440 Yeah, do you wanna see a picture? 502 00:18:33,440 --> 00:18:35,120 Yeah, is it near a port? 503 00:18:35,120 --> 00:18:36,440 Or is it just protecting? 504 00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:38,280 Because Spain, obviously it's a long coast. 505 00:18:38,280 --> 00:18:40,000 I don't think this is near a port. 506 00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:42,540 This is, the location of this lighthouse 507 00:18:42,540 --> 00:18:44,000 is in someone's farmland. 508 00:18:44,000 --> 00:18:46,320 So you see like lots of cows and stuff around. 509 00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:48,160 So it's not near a large city. 510 00:18:48,160 --> 00:18:49,540 And I know looking up on the map, 511 00:18:49,540 --> 00:18:51,600 you can kind of see this area is super rural. 512 00:18:51,600 --> 00:18:53,520 Maybe it's just a, I mean, if it's rural, 513 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,880 it would really suck to shipwreck there. 514 00:18:55,880 --> 00:18:57,320 Let alone anywhere, but. 515 00:18:57,320 --> 00:18:58,200 Yeah, that's true. 516 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,600 Like you're pretty far from help. 517 00:18:59,600 --> 00:19:01,160 Someone's got a port somewhere 518 00:19:01,160 --> 00:19:02,320 because there's a sailboat out there. 519 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,040 Oh, I do think the port. 520 00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:08,200 Santander, I don't know if that's the right way to say it, 521 00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:10,280 but I did actually read about that. 522 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:11,920 I'm gonna mention it later. 523 00:19:11,920 --> 00:19:15,360 Here is a Google map. 524 00:19:15,360 --> 00:19:17,800 Looking at the northern edge of Spain. 525 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:19,180 And here's like a nearby port. 526 00:19:19,180 --> 00:19:20,840 We got an airport coming in. 527 00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:22,480 It's a big inlet, yeah. 528 00:19:22,480 --> 00:19:25,160 Santander, I have something to say about that later. 529 00:19:25,160 --> 00:19:27,880 But Ajo is right over here. 530 00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,240 So it's kind of close. 531 00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:30,500 So if you're, for some reason, 532 00:19:30,500 --> 00:19:31,540 if you're following the coast, 533 00:19:31,540 --> 00:19:32,880 you'd maybe be able to use it. 534 00:19:32,880 --> 00:19:37,440 Yeah, and there's also this entrance, La Sorozuela. 535 00:19:37,440 --> 00:19:38,520 Uh-huh, mm-hmm. 536 00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:39,520 It doesn't look like a main, 537 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:40,520 it doesn't look like a main port, 538 00:19:40,520 --> 00:19:42,240 but it definitely looks, 539 00:19:42,240 --> 00:19:44,320 maybe kind of bougie. Maria de Ajo. 540 00:19:44,320 --> 00:19:46,960 Okay, Maria, you said onion? 541 00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:48,960 No, garlic. Oh, garlic, yeah. 542 00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:49,800 What? I don't know. 543 00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:52,580 Is this like, do they grow a lot of garlic here? 544 00:19:52,580 --> 00:19:53,420 I don't know. 545 00:19:53,420 --> 00:19:54,240 It's a gorgeous, 546 00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:56,200 Cantabria has a gorgeous Google photo right there. 547 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,320 Oh, it does, yeah. 548 00:19:57,320 --> 00:19:58,720 Trees.

Oh, okay. 580 00:20:58,400 --> 00:21:03,040 In 1914, the nearby Cabo Mayor lighthouse was electrified, 581 00:21:03,040 --> 00:21:04,880 which was a lot bigger than this one. 582 00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:08,800 Kind of like one that was built a long time ago, 583 00:21:08,800 --> 00:21:11,200 very necessary for this area. 584 00:21:11,200 --> 00:21:13,600 And it was electrified, which gave it a more powerful light, 585 00:21:13,600 --> 00:21:16,320 which they decided deemed this one unnecessary, 586 00:21:16,320 --> 00:21:18,920 which would not be true because three shipwrecks 587 00:21:18,920 --> 00:21:21,120 occurred shortly after that, 588 00:21:21,120 --> 00:21:24,360 which kind of put this lighthouse back on the map. 589 00:21:24,360 --> 00:21:26,960 So, yeah, garlic was back on the map 590 00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:29,400 and approved again in 1924, 591 00:21:29,400 --> 00:21:31,800 building plans approved in 1928, 592 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:33,320 and then they completed the lighthouse 593 00:21:33,320 --> 00:21:35,280 two years later in 1930. 594 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:36,120 Okay. 595 00:21:36,120 --> 00:21:38,400 It wasn't electrified until 1962, 596 00:21:38,400 --> 00:21:39,800 which kind of goes hand in hand 597 00:21:39,800 --> 00:21:43,320 with me talking about this being a very rural area. 598 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,040 Like there's a chance that rural areas 599 00:21:45,040 --> 00:21:48,400 didn't get even electrified until the 60s anyway, 600 00:21:48,400 --> 00:21:50,560 because we're talking about the Cabo Mayor lighthouse 601 00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:52,640 being electrified in 1914. 602 00:21:52,640 --> 00:21:54,160 So that's a lot. 603 00:21:54,160 --> 00:21:55,800 That's almost 50 years, 604 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,440 half a century before this lighthouse is electrified. 605 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,400 Well, all these electric places that are off on their own 606 00:22:01,400 --> 00:22:05,240 either need cable run to them or they need solar power. 607 00:22:05,240 --> 00:22:09,440 Solar power wasn't really developed until 70s, 80s. 608 00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:11,240 Well, do you think even telephone lines 609 00:22:11,240 --> 00:22:14,640 wouldn't go to farms and stuff for a long time? 610 00:22:14,640 --> 00:22:15,520 Long time. Yeah. 611 00:22:15,520 --> 00:22:16,360 So not that surprising, 612 00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:20,120 but a little crazy considering a close lighthouse 613 00:22:20,120 --> 00:22:23,120 of this one was electrified 50 years earlier. 614 00:22:23,120 --> 00:22:26,040 So definitely says something about its location, I think. 615 00:22:26,040 --> 00:22:26,880 Okay. 616 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:29,880 In 1980, Fernando Rodriguez Perez 617 00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,560 designed a new cylindrical concrete tower 618 00:22:32,560 --> 00:22:35,320 a little over 52 and a half feet tall. 619 00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:37,120 And so that's the one that we're seeing today 620 00:22:37,120 --> 00:22:38,320 because the original, 621 00:22:38,320 --> 00:22:40,560 the new one was built next to the original 622 00:22:40,560 --> 00:22:42,600 and the original one was destroyed. 623 00:22:42,600 --> 00:22:44,400 I'm not sure why this happened. 624 00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:45,240 I did look it up. 625 00:22:45,240 --> 00:22:47,680 Why was the original lighthouse taking down 626 00:22:47,680 --> 00:22:49,280 and nothing came up for it? 627 00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:50,600 And so it's not, 628 00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,240 it's maybe that it was just left alone for so long, 629 00:22:54,240 --> 00:22:57,520 but by 1980, so they had electrified it in 62. 630 00:22:57,520 --> 00:22:59,160 So why, I don't know. 631 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,560 I think maybe it's just that it hadn't been touched 632 00:23:01,560 --> 00:23:05,160 in so long that they found it cheaper to build a new one 633 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:07,960 rather than to restore the old one. 634 00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:08,960 Interesting. 635 00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:13,960 So it being the youngest lighthouse in Spain 636 00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,880 could be referring to this one, 637 00:23:15,880 --> 00:23:19,080 which was I think completed in 1985. 638 00:23:19,080 --> 00:23:20,000 Okay. 639 00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,680 Or it could be the one that was completed in 1930. 640 00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,600 I didn't check. 641 00:23:24,600 --> 00:23:25,440 So that's- 642 00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:26,260 Both, yeah. 643 00:23:26,260 --> 00:23:27,680 In long history, they're not that far apart. 644 00:23:27,680 --> 00:23:28,520 Exactly. 645 00:23:28,520 --> 00:23:29,440 In our lives, long way. 646 00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:31,840 But yeah, so that is all the history 647 00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:33,140 that I found on this lighthouse. 648 00:23:33,140 --> 00:23:36,480 It's kind of the new stuff is what's big news 649 00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,320 for this lighthouse. 650 00:23:37,320 --> 00:23:42,160 So 2015, the city council of Barreo 651 00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,480 requested a grant from the ministry of public works 652 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,640 of government of Cantabria to make a perimeter fence 653 00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:50,080 parallel to the cliffs to protect people 654 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,220 and a pedestrian path that's 10 feet wide 655 00:23:53,220 --> 00:23:55,400 to increase tourism around this area. 656 00:23:55,400 --> 00:23:58,760 So in this picture, you can see some people walking. 657 00:23:58,760 --> 00:24:01,320 Well, you can see people walking on the pedestrian trail 658 00:24:01,320 --> 00:24:02,920 and then further in the background of it, 659 00:24:02,920 --> 00:24:05,000 you can see this parallel fence 660 00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:05,840 that they're leaning up against. 661 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:08,120 The cliff edge just past the, okay. 662 00:24:08,120 --> 00:24:13,120 They put $70,000 towards making this 663 00:24:13,240 --> 00:24:15,600 like a tourist designated area. 664 00:24:15,600 --> 00:24:16,840 Yeah, just with this walkway. 665 00:24:16,840 --> 00:24:18,560 So you can't go up to the lighthouse, 666 00:24:18,560 --> 00:24:19,640 but you can walk around it. 667 00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:21,840 And actually it became pretty popular. 668 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:23,840 Like it put it on the map, you know, 669 00:24:23,840 --> 00:24:25,400 like a place to go visit. 670 00:24:25,400 --> 00:24:26,240 Yeah. 671 00:24:26,240 --> 00:24:29,880 I think they had 35,000 people visit here 672 00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,440 in the three years before, you know, 673 00:24:32,440 --> 00:24:33,680 before the thing I'm gonna talk about. 674 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,800 Yeah. 675 00:24:34,800 --> 00:24:37,480 So it had some visitors. 676 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:39,200 Basically what they wanted to do 677 00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:44,040 was bring tourist money to Ajo. 678 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:44,980 They just wanted more people. 679 00:24:44,980 --> 00:24:46,040 It's more rural area. 680 00:24:46,040 --> 00:24:46,880 There's not a lot to see. 681 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:48,120 So they wanted to put something on the map 682 00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:49,640 for people to be like, oh, we should go see that 683 00:24:49,640 --> 00:24:52,520 while we're passing through the area. 684 00:24:52,520 --> 00:24:54,200 And it used to cost just one Euro 685 00:24:54,200 --> 00:24:55,800 to come in and walk around the lighthouse 686 00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:57,280 and look out over the cliffs. 687 00:24:57,280 --> 00:24:58,160 It's very pretty. 688 00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,840 You know, there's reasons to visit. 689 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:01,000 That's very cheap. 690 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:01,840 Yeah, I know. 691 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:03,140 And now it's free. 692 00:25:03,140 --> 00:25:03,980 Nice. 693 00:25:03,980 --> 00:25:04,800 That's even cheaper. 694 00:25:06,080 --> 00:25:08,160 Visits for this lighthouse 695 00:25:08,160 --> 00:25:10,200 were about to increase significantly though 696 00:25:10,200 --> 00:25:14,300 with the very controversial idea to paint the lighthouse, 697 00:25:14,300 --> 00:25:15,880 but not just paint. 698 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,520 We turn it into, we transform into a work of art. 699 00:25:20,520 --> 00:25:21,840 And I'm gonna pull up a photo 700 00:25:21,840 --> 00:25:24,840 to go with my dramatic statements. 701 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:26,640 Every lighthouse has a work of art. 702 00:25:26,640 --> 00:25:30,640 That's the energy we wanna bring to this place. 703 00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:31,800 Boom. 704 00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:33,800 And also a nice view of the cliffs 705 00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,000 and a nice beach over here. 706 00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:35,960 Gorgeous area. 707 00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,880 But look at what we've done to this lighthouse. 708 00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:42,880 It looks smaller from further away. 709 00:25:42,880 --> 00:25:43,720 Whoa. 710 00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:47,000 It's only 52 feet tall. 711 00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,160 Although if you look at the people in comparison, 712 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:50,000 it's pretty tall. 713 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:50,820 Yeah. 714 00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:52,800 Okay, yeah. 715 00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:54,120 That's a better photo. 716 00:25:54,120 --> 00:25:58,440 The magnificence, the colors, just very dramatic. 717 00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,680 We've transformed this lighthouse into some artwork, 718 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:02,640 some custom artwork. 719 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,320 Some geometric rainbows for everyone who can't see. 720 00:26:06,320 --> 00:26:07,760 Yeah, people really need to look it up. 721 00:26:07,760 --> 00:26:14,400 What's so cool about this lighthouse is its visual-ness. 722 00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,600 Contabrian artist Okuda San Miguel, I think. 723 00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:22,000 I'm gonna do my best, but I think it's Okuda. 724 00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,720 Was commissioned with a budget of $40,000. 725 00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,080 So that is a ton of money. 726 00:26:26,080 --> 00:26:27,840 That's kind of part of the controversy 727 00:26:27,840 --> 00:26:32,240 around painting this lighthouse instead of restoring it. 728 00:26:32,240 --> 00:26:34,760 We saw that picture just before it was painted 729 00:26:34,760 --> 00:26:37,120 where you're like, oh, it could use a little bit of work. 730 00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:39,680 And this money instead was going towards painting the lighthouse. 731 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,000 $40,000 to paint it. 732 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,880 Yes, so that's part of the controversy. 733 00:26:42,880 --> 00:26:43,720 I'll go more into it. 734 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:45,520 There's a lot of bullet points. 735 00:26:45,520 --> 00:26:46,840 But he completed the paintwork, 736 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:49,800 which he called Infinite Contabria in three days 737 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:51,680 using over 100 colors. 738 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:54,320 Although I saw some people say it was 70 colors, 739 00:26:54,320 --> 00:26:56,440 and maybe the 100 is just being dramatic. 740 00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,240 Fuel the fire. 741 00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:01,560 It depicts local fauna. 742 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:02,840 So if you look closely into it, 743 00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:05,060 you can kind of see some animals. 744 00:27:05,060 --> 00:27:05,900 There's birds. 745 00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:06,880 There's a tongue hanging out. 746 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:10,960 We got lots of colored squares and triangles 747 00:27:10,960 --> 00:27:12,120 and some anchors. 748 00:27:12,120 --> 00:27:14,240 So lots going on. 749 00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,360 I don't know if this was free-handed, 750 00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:19,520 if he just kind of came up with it as he went along. 751 00:27:19,520 --> 00:27:21,280 But this is very classic. 752 00:27:21,280 --> 00:27:23,600 This is his style of artwork. 753 00:27:23,600 --> 00:27:25,920 You can see, well, let me look up. 754 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:26,840 It's very pretty. 755 00:27:26,840 --> 00:27:28,360 So you can see his artwork. 756 00:27:28,360 --> 00:27:31,160 It's very, it works along with it. 757 00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:33,320 Known artist, a lot of the same style. 758 00:27:33,320 --> 00:27:38,120 Yeah, and I saw that some of the things that he did, 759 00:27:38,120 --> 00:27:41,680 he has a, you know, 1800 tequila. 760 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:44,120 He has a bottle. 761 00:27:44,120 --> 00:27:45,200 He did a collab with them, 762 00:27:45,200 --> 00:27:48,160 and he has a limited edition bottle for $180. 763 00:27:48,160 --> 00:27:49,120 Would you mind looking it up? 764 00:27:49,120 --> 00:27:49,960 Yeah. 765 00:27:49,960 --> 00:27:52,240 Or just put in 1800 up in your search. 766 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:53,080 That is cool. 767 00:27:53,080 --> 00:27:54,240 Isn't that awesome? 768 00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:58,440 Oh, why did I think it was $180? 769 00:27:59,480 --> 00:28:02,120 You know what it was? 770 00:28:02,120 --> 00:28:03,840 I was looking it up on Bing, 771 00:28:03,840 --> 00:28:06,160 so they probably just betrayed me. 772 00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:07,400 180 proof. 773 00:28:07,400 --> 00:28:08,440 Team Google. 774 00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:09,360 That'd be something else. 775 00:28:09,360 --> 00:28:10,640 Are you 21 or older? Yes, I am. 776 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:11,480 Don't you lie. 777 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:13,760 Oh, it's a series. 778 00:28:13,760 --> 00:28:16,120 These are essential artists series. 779 00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,200 Essential artists, that must be fun. 780 00:28:18,200 --> 00:28:20,640 Oh, I like the koala, is it? 781 00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:21,480 Panda bear. 782 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:22,480 Oh yeah. 783 00:28:22,480 --> 00:28:23,320 Those are cool. 784 00:28:23,320 --> 00:28:24,160 There's a nice skull here. 785 00:28:24,160 --> 00:28:27,840 $210 for six bottles, maybe? 786 00:28:27,840 --> 00:28:29,120 Yeah, what size are they? 787 00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:30,320 That's really neat. 788 00:28:30,320 --> 00:28:31,920 Okay, apparently it doesn't want me to reborn. 789 00:28:31,920 --> 00:28:32,760 Oh well. 790 00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,160 They're like, aren't you doing a podcast? 791 00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:35,000 It's pretty neat. 792 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:35,840 You're gonna focus? 793 00:28:37,120 --> 00:28:38,280 Yeah, just thought those. 794 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,200 I don't think I've ever had 1800 tequila, 795 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:41,360 but that'd be cool. 796 00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:42,200 I haven't either. 797 00:28:42,200 --> 00:28:43,160 I'm not a big tequila person. 798 00:28:43,160 --> 00:28:48,160 Or like margaritas, I'm not a fan of margaritas. 799 00:28:51,040 --> 00:28:53,560 Anyway, so here's the whole controversy 800 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:55,600 that surrounds painting this lighthouse. 801 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:56,920 There's a couple of different things. 802 00:28:56,920 --> 00:28:58,960 I mentioned that a lot of that money 803 00:28:58,960 --> 00:29:01,280 could have gone towards fixing up the lighthouse, 804 00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:04,040 and so it feels kind of like a shame. 805 00:29:04,040 --> 00:29:05,720 You're covering up problems 806 00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:07,760 that actually need to be fixed with paint. 807 00:29:07,760 --> 00:29:08,600 Yeah. 808 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:11,280 The page that I was reading, 809 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,800 I'll link it at my show notes so you can read it too. 810 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:14,040 It has a lot more information 811 00:29:14,040 --> 00:29:16,280 than what I'm just gonna kind of quickly cover here. 812 00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:18,040 Cleans that lighthouses by regulation 813 00:29:18,040 --> 00:29:19,960 have to be black and white. 814 00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:22,000 That's not true for everywhere. 815 00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,240 It could be true for Spain, 816 00:29:23,240 --> 00:29:26,200 but I also couldn't find that anywhere. 817 00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:31,200 Okuda remedied that by making the back of this lighthouse 818 00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:34,240 appear purely black and white from a distance, 819 00:29:34,240 --> 00:29:37,440 and you can kind of see a sliver of it from this photo. 820 00:29:37,440 --> 00:29:38,280 Oh. 821 00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:39,120 Let me try. 822 00:29:39,120 --> 00:29:40,600 I thought you were gonna say he used so much surface area 823 00:29:40,600 --> 00:29:42,480 as black and white and calculated it all. 824 00:29:42,480 --> 00:29:43,320 Oh no. 825 00:29:44,520 --> 00:29:46,120 That would be cool. 826 00:29:46,120 --> 00:29:49,480 I don't think I saved a photo of it from the back. 827 00:29:49,480 --> 00:29:50,840 It was a pretty cool picture. 828 00:29:50,840 --> 00:29:51,800 See if you can pull it up. 829 00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,880 Ah, here it is. 830 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:56,040 Okay, here's a good photo of it from the back. 831 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:56,880 Oh, that's cool. 832 00:29:56,880 --> 00:29:58,640 Yeah, so from really far out to sea, 833 00:29:58,640 --> 00:30:03,160 which you can see that the cliffs are so high up 834 00:30:03,160 --> 00:30:04,800 that even if you're close to the shore, 835 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:07,880 this would probably still look like a white lighthouse 836 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:08,720 with a black stripe. 837 00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:10,840 Like obviously there's a lot of other colors going on, 838 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:13,160 but he kind of took into consideration, 839 00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:15,800 apparently, that by regulation 840 00:30:15,800 --> 00:30:17,200 it has to be black and white 841 00:30:17,200 --> 00:30:19,720 to be an active guide to navigation 842 00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:22,440 and made it appear if this was black and white. 843 00:30:22,440 --> 00:30:23,280 I thought that was pretty cool. 844 00:30:23,280 --> 00:30:25,200 Yeah, if you can see the colors, you're too close. 845 00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:26,040 Yeah. 846 00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:26,880 If you're on a boat. 847 00:30:26,880 --> 00:30:28,880 What is the whole point of this lighthouse? 848 00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,280 That's funny. 849 00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,880 Yeah, so that's one of the things. 850 00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,480 Another was gentrification, 851 00:30:33,480 --> 00:30:35,160 which I had to ask you about this morning. 852 00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:36,080 What did you say? 853 00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:38,400 It was urbanizing? 854 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:42,200 Yeah, to gentrify without Googling it, 855 00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:46,360 I think it means to modernize, to make popular, 856 00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,520 to make urban an area that becomes gentrified, 857 00:30:50,520 --> 00:30:54,640 changes from what it was to become busy 858 00:30:54,640 --> 00:30:57,640 and typically progressive. 859 00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,440 So I guess that kind of, I get that a little bit. 860 00:31:01,440 --> 00:31:02,800 Yeah, no, I get that. 861 00:31:02,800 --> 00:31:03,800 We're lighthouse people. 862 00:31:03,800 --> 00:31:04,800 We can just. 863 00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:08,320 Like classical versus modern artistic. 864 00:31:08,320 --> 00:31:09,400 Exactly, yeah. 865 00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,040 So I can kind of see both sides 866 00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:13,720 is that by painting it, 867 00:31:13,720 --> 00:31:15,480 you're making it something really unique 868 00:31:15,480 --> 00:31:17,600 that people come to see specifically, 869 00:31:17,600 --> 00:31:20,920 but also you hope and wish that people 870 00:31:20,920 --> 00:31:23,720 would be able to appreciate the natural lighthouse itself, 871 00:31:23,720 --> 00:31:25,040 but that's just not really true. 872 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,800 People aren't like us where the lighthouse, 873 00:31:27,800 --> 00:31:30,560 just being a lighthouse with all of its history 874 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:34,040 and cool facts and its location and everything 875 00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,120 would be enough for us to go and visit it. 876 00:31:36,120 --> 00:31:37,960 It's just people aren't like that. 877 00:31:37,960 --> 00:31:42,320 Well, people will take, like resto mods is a controversy. 878 00:31:42,320 --> 00:31:46,040 So resto mod, you take a classic vehicle, 879 00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:49,200 like people will take a 1969 Camaro. 880 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:50,040 Oh no. 881 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,240 If you had a 69 Camaro, it's an awesome car, 882 00:31:53,240 --> 00:31:55,720 but it just performance wise, 883 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:58,520 it just doesn't compete with like a modern Camry. 884 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,840 Like, you know, it's just not a, it doesn't keep up. 885 00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:05,840 So you could take a 1969 sports car, muscle car of the day, 886 00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:09,920 and then put new tech in it, you know, a Tesla battery, 887 00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:11,960 and it's all of a sudden, it's this awesome performing car. 888 00:32:11,960 --> 00:32:15,800 And some people love that, but it's not what it was. 889 00:32:15,800 --> 00:32:17,280 It's a modern take on what it was. 890 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:19,520 So that's kind of the same. 891 00:32:19,520 --> 00:32:21,080 People looking at this lighthouse. 892 00:32:21,080 --> 00:32:25,040 Another thing is that they're taking so far into account 893 00:32:25,040 --> 00:32:27,640 the interest of the visitor and not the local people, 894 00:32:27,640 --> 00:32:30,520 because there wasn't a poll to decide 895 00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,840 if people were gonna be okay with painting the lighthouse. 896 00:32:32,840 --> 00:32:37,120 It was just paid, done, and then people were like, 897 00:32:37,120 --> 00:32:39,460 hey, look at this. 898 00:32:39,460 --> 00:32:41,640 So it was kind of like, okay, 899 00:32:41,640 --> 00:32:43,680 we know we're focusing on tourism. 900 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,740 We know we're trying to get more people to come here, 901 00:32:45,740 --> 00:32:48,000 but nobody asked what the locals felt 902 00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:49,260 about painting this lighthouse. 903 00:32:49,260 --> 00:32:52,040 It was just, visitors will come here more likely 904 00:32:52,040 --> 00:32:53,080 if we paint the lighthouse. 905 00:32:53,080 --> 00:32:54,880 So that's another thing. 906 00:32:54,880 --> 00:32:57,660 There's lots of things. 907 00:32:57,660 --> 00:33:01,360 And Okuda says, he has a lot to say about this as well, 908 00:33:01,360 --> 00:33:04,000 because he's straight up in the middle of it. 909 00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:06,320 And he's painted things like churches before, 910 00:33:06,320 --> 00:33:09,760 and so he's kind of like, why are people throwing a fit 911 00:33:09,760 --> 00:33:12,720 over this lighthouse when I've painted a church 912 00:33:12,720 --> 00:33:15,180 to be black and white, or not black and white, 913 00:33:15,180 --> 00:33:17,840 yeah, you know, colorful, and there's drips 914 00:33:17,840 --> 00:33:20,880 coming down the walls and it has something to do with 420. 915 00:33:20,880 --> 00:33:23,880 I saw that in the title of the coverage. 916 00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,040 So he's like, I don't understand that. 917 00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:29,120 He says that the Spanish are mad at him for it 918 00:33:29,120 --> 00:33:31,640 because they don't appreciate art from their own country. 919 00:33:31,640 --> 00:33:33,640 So there's a little bit of bitterness. 920 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:37,400 It's like, oh, wow. 921 00:33:37,400 --> 00:33:38,480 And this was during COVID. 922 00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:41,680 So he says a lot, it's like keyboard warriors coming out. 923 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:44,560 Well, I think he's right about that. 924 00:33:44,560 --> 00:33:46,800 Everybody got online and everybody continued to. 925 00:33:46,800 --> 00:33:47,960 COVID thing is totally right. 926 00:33:47,960 --> 00:33:50,560 You're like seeing it happen from far away. 927 00:33:50,560 --> 00:33:52,440 You can say whatever you wanna say about it. 928 00:33:52,440 --> 00:33:54,800 Okuda claims the point of art is to quote, 929 00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:57,400 make you feel and not leave you indifferent, 930 00:33:57,400 --> 00:33:59,400 which he is accomplishing by this lighthouse, 931 00:33:59,400 --> 00:34:01,120 regardless of how you feel about it, 932 00:34:01,120 --> 00:34:03,520 unless you're indifferent and then that's not. 933 00:34:03,520 --> 00:34:06,260 Yeah. 934 00:34:06,260 --> 00:34:07,640 It's pretty. 935 00:34:07,640 --> 00:34:10,240 He says Port Authority has decided he gets eight years 936 00:34:10,240 --> 00:34:12,040 before they paint it white again. 937 00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:17,040 I saw a lot of sources that said eight years 938 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,480 would be about how long it would take 939 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,360 for the paint itself to degrade. 940 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:24,640 And so they would just paint over it. 941 00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:27,360 And they were saying they would do a touch up in four years, 942 00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:28,840 but then after eight years, 943 00:34:28,840 --> 00:34:30,920 they'd be done with it and paint it white. 944 00:34:30,920 --> 00:34:33,800 But Okuda says that Port Authority decided 945 00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,960 he gets eight years and then they were gonna wipe it out. 946 00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,480 So I don't know, I've seen both. 947 00:34:38,480 --> 00:34:41,720 Well, so he did this in three days. 948 00:34:41,720 --> 00:34:42,560 Yes. 949 00:34:42,560 --> 00:34:46,400 So there's no way, it's gotta be spray paint, right? 950 00:34:46,400 --> 00:34:47,700 Yeah, it's spray paint. 951 00:34:47,700 --> 00:34:49,720 I guess I actually have photos of that. 952 00:34:49,720 --> 00:34:52,080 I'm guessing spray paint doesn't last as long. 953 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:52,900 Nice. 954 00:34:52,900 --> 00:34:53,740 Oh, look at him. 955 00:34:53,740 --> 00:34:55,960 Yeah, he's really pushing his brand there. 956 00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,760 Yeah, I wonder if he designed his own clothes there. 957 00:34:58,760 --> 00:34:59,880 Oh, absolutely. 958 00:34:59,880 --> 00:35:03,800 This skull is actually one of his signature designs 959 00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:04,640 that he does. 960 00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,200 He's even got the six panel hat. 961 00:35:06,200 --> 00:35:07,800 Oh yeah, oh my gosh. 962 00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:11,960 Very hippie, very hippie, definitely smokes. 963 00:35:11,960 --> 00:35:13,160 No, that's really cool. 964 00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:14,840 Yeah, he's got this. 965 00:35:14,840 --> 00:35:15,680 Oh, he's got his lift. 966 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:16,520 Yeah. 967 00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:17,440 Yeah, so he can get up. 968 00:35:17,440 --> 00:35:20,040 So I like those panels as well. 969 00:35:20,040 --> 00:35:22,040 There's probably a little light inside. 970 00:35:23,140 --> 00:35:25,680 So eight years is the contract, if you will, 971 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:26,520 before it's repainted. 972 00:35:26,520 --> 00:35:27,360 Right. 973 00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,180 And they're gonna paint it white. 974 00:35:28,180 --> 00:35:29,020 That's already been decided? 975 00:35:29,020 --> 00:35:29,860 Mm-hmm. 976 00:35:29,860 --> 00:35:30,680 Okay. 977 00:35:30,680 --> 00:35:31,520 Yeah. 978 00:35:31,520 --> 00:35:32,580 Well, so this is done in 2020. 979 00:35:32,580 --> 00:35:34,640 Did they have numbers on visitors since this? 980 00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:35,480 Did it work? 981 00:35:35,480 --> 00:35:37,480 Yeah, I'll say that in a second. 982 00:35:37,480 --> 00:35:38,320 Okay. 983 00:35:38,320 --> 00:35:41,520 Okuda is hoping that after those eight years, 984 00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:45,720 whoever is the person that decides to recover his artwork 985 00:35:45,720 --> 00:35:46,920 will choose differently. 986 00:35:46,920 --> 00:35:48,960 It's kind of like, it's decided, 987 00:35:48,960 --> 00:35:50,560 but hoping after eight years, 988 00:35:50,560 --> 00:35:52,680 there'll be different feeling around it 989 00:35:52,680 --> 00:35:54,640 once it's been integrated a little bit more. 990 00:35:54,640 --> 00:35:56,400 But he's also a graffiti artist. 991 00:35:56,400 --> 00:35:58,480 That's kind of how he started out, was doing graffiti. 992 00:35:58,480 --> 00:35:59,500 Okay. 993 00:35:59,500 --> 00:36:02,500 And so he says that he's used to his work 994 00:36:02,500 --> 00:36:03,800 having a small lifespan. 995 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:05,300 He's like, he's used to painting something, 996 00:36:05,300 --> 00:36:07,000 and within days, it's covered back up. 997 00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:10,320 So he's like, I can understand and appreciate 998 00:36:10,320 --> 00:36:12,520 the having my art having a lifespan, 999 00:36:12,520 --> 00:36:15,160 but in my heart, it will always live on. 1000 00:36:15,160 --> 00:36:17,400 Yeah, eight years for some spray paint 1001 00:36:17,400 --> 00:36:19,400 is more than the average, I guess. 1002 00:36:19,400 --> 00:36:20,780 It's quite nice, actually. 1003 00:36:22,160 --> 00:36:24,080 You never know, they can decide to keep it. 1004 00:36:24,080 --> 00:36:24,920 Yeah. 1005 00:36:24,920 --> 00:36:26,360 He's actually been offered more lighthouses 1006 00:36:26,360 --> 00:36:29,080 to paint in Spain, but doesn't give any details 1007 00:36:29,080 --> 00:36:31,200 about which ones those are. 1008 00:36:31,200 --> 00:36:33,520 He said it includes one that's on an island, 1009 00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:37,160 which I didn't see any prominent island lighthouses 1010 00:36:37,160 --> 00:36:42,160 in Spain, except for, it could be the Isla Moro lighthouse, 1011 00:36:43,040 --> 00:36:46,120 which is also in the Bay of Biscay, which is Cantabria. 1012 00:36:46,120 --> 00:36:47,560 And he's a Cantabrian artist, 1013 00:36:47,560 --> 00:36:49,280 so I think it would be more likely for him 1014 00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:54,140 to paint another lighthouse where it's culturally, 1015 00:36:54,140 --> 00:36:57,320 would plant some meaning back into its location, 1016 00:36:57,320 --> 00:37:00,400 and not just some rando painting a lighthouse somewhere. 1017 00:37:00,400 --> 00:37:05,400 There's not a concept, but a, I guess a program. 1018 00:37:05,920 --> 00:37:07,820 It's asset of cultural interest. 1019 00:37:07,820 --> 00:37:12,820 It's kind of like us making the national protected places. 1020 00:37:14,120 --> 00:37:16,360 Gosh, I can't remember what it's called. 1021 00:37:16,360 --> 00:37:19,320 It's like every lighthouse is under this. 1022 00:37:19,320 --> 00:37:20,520 Historic. 1023 00:37:20,520 --> 00:37:22,120 Historic places. 1024 00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:22,960 Oh, we talked about this. 1025 00:37:22,960 --> 00:37:23,800 I know, every time. 1026 00:37:23,800 --> 00:37:26,120 We talked about East Brother Light. 1027 00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:29,080 National something of historic somethings. 1028 00:37:29,080 --> 00:37:32,820 You guys know where we're talking about. 1029 00:37:32,820 --> 00:37:33,660 It means you can't touch it. 1030 00:37:33,660 --> 00:37:38,500 It's like that in Spain, where they have protected places. 1031 00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:39,340 Historic. 1032 00:37:39,340 --> 00:37:41,940 Yeah, culturally protected. 1033 00:37:41,940 --> 00:37:45,380 And there's only eight lighthouses in Spain 1034 00:37:45,380 --> 00:37:47,540 that are on this protected list, 1035 00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:50,080 which would prevent it from being painted 1036 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:52,100 the way that he paints lighthouses. 1037 00:37:52,100 --> 00:37:55,380 So any culturally well-known lighthouses 1038 00:37:55,380 --> 00:37:57,100 that would be on this list would not be painted, 1039 00:37:57,100 --> 00:37:57,940 so I think that's probably why 1040 00:37:57,940 --> 00:38:00,660 I had a hard time finding an island lighthouse 1041 00:38:00,660 --> 00:38:02,980 because it wouldn't pop up as easily 1042 00:38:02,980 --> 00:38:04,900 as these lighthouses that are protected, 1043 00:38:04,900 --> 00:38:06,860 that are an asset of cultural interest. 1044 00:38:06,860 --> 00:38:07,860 Okay. 1045 00:38:07,860 --> 00:38:10,700 Anyway, it has a couple layers of varnish on it, 1046 00:38:10,700 --> 00:38:11,860 but he said, like I said, 1047 00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:13,860 there was gonna be like a touch-up in four years, 1048 00:38:13,860 --> 00:38:16,060 and around eight years it'd be decided 1049 00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:16,980 if it'll be white again, 1050 00:38:16,980 --> 00:38:19,260 so you have to visit before 2028 1051 00:38:19,260 --> 00:38:21,860 to definitely see his artwork on this lighthouse. 1052 00:38:21,860 --> 00:38:24,580 It's kind of the fun thing is it has a lifespan. 1053 00:38:24,580 --> 00:38:26,200 So if you're a visitor, 1054 00:38:26,200 --> 00:38:28,100 it makes it more likely for you to come 1055 00:38:28,100 --> 00:38:29,100 and visit here pretty soon. 1056 00:38:29,100 --> 00:38:29,920 I even thought about it. 1057 00:38:29,920 --> 00:38:31,540 I was like, oh, we're gonna be in Spain. 1058 00:38:31,540 --> 00:38:32,380 We should go out there, 1059 00:38:32,380 --> 00:38:34,380 but it would be a whole excursion. 1060 00:38:34,380 --> 00:38:35,220 Pretty far away from where we're going. 1061 00:38:35,220 --> 00:38:37,460 We'd definitely have to fly there, I think. 1062 00:38:37,460 --> 00:38:41,920 In only 11 days, his art brought 28,000 visitors 1063 00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:42,760 to this lighthouse. 1064 00:38:42,760 --> 00:38:45,540 So probably within two weeks, 1065 00:38:45,540 --> 00:38:49,780 we saw as many visitors as we saw in the past three years 1066 00:38:49,780 --> 00:38:51,380 of the life of this lighthouse. 1067 00:38:51,380 --> 00:38:53,020 That is crazy. 1068 00:38:53,020 --> 00:38:54,020 I know. 1069 00:38:54,020 --> 00:38:55,420 So it's definitely working, 1070 00:38:55,420 --> 00:38:57,140 but it's also free. 1071 00:38:57,140 --> 00:39:00,420 And so people that are against it say, 1072 00:39:00,420 --> 00:39:03,740 what is the point of bringing people to see this lighthouse 1073 00:39:03,740 --> 00:39:06,540 if they're not actually putting any money 1074 00:39:06,540 --> 00:39:08,780 into the lighthouse or the environment 1075 00:39:08,780 --> 00:39:10,620 or the city or anything like that? 1076 00:39:10,620 --> 00:39:13,260 I think they're assuming that a lot of people are Spanish 1077 00:39:13,260 --> 00:39:14,420 and are coming to see it like, 1078 00:39:14,420 --> 00:39:17,960 oh, we'll just drive up there for a day and then go home. 1079 00:39:17,960 --> 00:39:20,980 But people like us would be staying in Ajo. 1080 00:39:20,980 --> 00:39:22,420 Visitors, yeah. 1081 00:39:22,420 --> 00:39:24,060 So kind of has both ways. 1082 00:39:24,060 --> 00:39:26,580 There's some people who don't want visitors. 1083 00:39:26,580 --> 00:39:28,460 I lived in Colorado for a short period. 1084 00:39:28,460 --> 00:39:32,340 And everyone loves to visit Colorado. 1085 00:39:32,340 --> 00:39:33,780 I still like to visit there. 1086 00:39:33,780 --> 00:39:37,100 But being someone who was a Coloradan, 1087 00:39:37,100 --> 00:39:37,940 it was kind of, 1088 00:39:40,020 --> 00:39:42,340 didn't really love the tourism. 1089 00:39:42,340 --> 00:39:44,460 Because people would bring their, I don't know, 1090 00:39:44,460 --> 00:39:47,020 they come up and treat your place like a playground 1091 00:39:47,020 --> 00:39:47,860 and then they leave. 1092 00:39:47,860 --> 00:39:48,860 That's true. 1093 00:39:48,860 --> 00:39:52,460 Yeah, it's part of half and half of tourism. 1094 00:39:52,460 --> 00:39:55,820 It can be something your community relies on, 1095 00:39:55,820 --> 00:39:58,500 but it would also be pretty annoying. 1096 00:39:58,500 --> 00:40:01,580 You don't wanna cater to tourism if you don't want tourism. 1097 00:40:01,580 --> 00:40:03,380 So that might also be a problem with this 1098 00:40:03,380 --> 00:40:06,500 is that nobody said we needed tourism, 1099 00:40:06,500 --> 00:40:07,740 but all of a sudden they're putting money 1100 00:40:07,740 --> 00:40:08,860 into having people visit. 1101 00:40:08,860 --> 00:40:09,860 And they're like, why would we do that 1102 00:40:09,860 --> 00:40:11,260 when we can just enjoy it ourselves 1103 00:40:11,260 --> 00:40:12,420 the way it is naturally? 1104 00:40:12,420 --> 00:40:14,060 Well, at least there's not like, 1105 00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,300 Toby Smith, we talked about Paradise Island in the Bahamas. 1106 00:40:19,300 --> 00:40:20,700 And he was saying, 1107 00:40:20,700 --> 00:40:24,740 his idea of developing that lighthouse into a beach club 1108 00:40:24,740 --> 00:40:28,860 and having locals be able to have local land 1109 00:40:28,860 --> 00:40:31,100 be accessed by them, not just tourists. 1110 00:40:32,300 --> 00:40:36,260 Some other corporations that were nearby didn't share that. 1111 00:40:36,260 --> 00:40:38,820 So it was like, well, we don't really want locals here. 1112 00:40:38,820 --> 00:40:40,340 We're for tourism. 1113 00:40:40,340 --> 00:40:42,780 Locals have a special rate on the days 1114 00:40:42,780 --> 00:40:43,940 that we're not open to tourism. 1115 00:40:43,940 --> 00:40:44,780 It's just weird. 1116 00:40:44,780 --> 00:40:46,780 Yeah, and Toby's not saying like, 1117 00:40:46,780 --> 00:40:50,020 we don't want tourism, so this is for locals only. 1118 00:40:50,020 --> 00:40:53,260 He's just saying they would employ locals only 1119 00:40:53,260 --> 00:40:56,220 so that there's some money going back and forth there 1120 00:40:56,220 --> 00:40:57,780 and then tourists could come and visit 1121 00:40:57,780 --> 00:41:00,620 and it would be a reason to go and see it. 1122 00:41:00,620 --> 00:41:02,220 Benefits for everybody. 1123 00:41:02,220 --> 00:41:04,400 But don't let the controversy scare you away 1124 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,540 from this lighthouse. 1125 00:41:05,540 --> 00:41:08,260 It's still, I know I just talked about it a lot, 1126 00:41:08,260 --> 00:41:11,900 but the lighthouse itself deserves to be visited 1127 00:41:11,900 --> 00:41:13,660 regardless if it's painted or not. 1128 00:41:13,660 --> 00:41:14,980 I think it would be cool to see it 1129 00:41:14,980 --> 00:41:17,340 while it's painted before 2028. 1130 00:41:17,340 --> 00:41:20,300 That new white paint though, that's gonna look good. 1131 00:41:20,300 --> 00:41:22,780 It's really bright and nice. 1132 00:41:22,780 --> 00:41:24,300 So if it's gotten this many visitors, 1133 00:41:24,300 --> 00:41:27,660 why not, I'm sure they are open to it, 1134 00:41:27,660 --> 00:41:30,300 why not entertain the idea of having him 1135 00:41:30,300 --> 00:41:33,660 or a different artist put a new exhibit on 1136 00:41:33,660 --> 00:41:34,780 for the next eight years? 1137 00:41:34,780 --> 00:41:36,060 Wouldn't that be cool? 1138 00:41:36,060 --> 00:41:37,220 I think that would be awesome, 1139 00:41:37,220 --> 00:41:39,140 but I think it's the fact that this lighthouse 1140 00:41:39,140 --> 00:41:41,220 wasn't built to have paint. 1141 00:41:41,220 --> 00:41:44,140 Like, it's not built to be a gallery of artists. 1142 00:41:44,140 --> 00:41:46,020 It's just to be a lighthouse 1143 00:41:46,020 --> 00:41:48,060 and can be appreciated just as a lighthouse. 1144 00:41:48,060 --> 00:41:50,300 But instead, in their eyes, 1145 00:41:50,300 --> 00:41:52,340 they're turning it into this debacle 1146 00:41:52,340 --> 00:41:53,620 where it's like, oh my gosh, 1147 00:41:53,620 --> 00:41:56,740 do we really have to make it so out there 1148 00:41:56,740 --> 00:41:58,820 and so modern and everything 1149 00:41:58,820 --> 00:42:00,060 for people to come and appreciate it? 1150 00:42:00,060 --> 00:42:02,180 Or can it just be the way that it is? 1151 00:42:02,180 --> 00:42:03,300 I can appreciate that. 1152 00:42:03,300 --> 00:42:06,680 But I wanna see it, I'm not gonna let that deter me. 1153 00:42:06,680 --> 00:42:08,500 I wanna go see it the way that it looks now 1154 00:42:08,500 --> 00:42:13,500 because it's the most colorful, visually exciting lighthouse 1155 00:42:13,980 --> 00:42:14,820 that I've seen. 1156 00:42:14,820 --> 00:42:17,300 Whoa, walk that back. 1157 00:42:17,300 --> 00:42:20,220 Not the most visually exciting I've seen, 1158 00:42:20,220 --> 00:42:22,500 but the most visually unique lighthouse 1159 00:42:22,500 --> 00:42:23,340 that I've seen so far. 1160 00:42:23,340 --> 00:42:25,220 That's gotta be true, yeah. 1161 00:42:25,220 --> 00:42:26,040 That's all I got. 1162 00:42:26,040 --> 00:42:28,880 The hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., 1163 00:42:28,880 --> 00:42:31,820 so just this short little four-hour window 1164 00:42:31,820 --> 00:42:33,980 on weekends only during low season, 1165 00:42:33,980 --> 00:42:35,820 which is any time other than summer. 1166 00:42:35,820 --> 00:42:38,260 But during the summer, they're open from 11 to two 1167 00:42:38,260 --> 00:42:40,860 and then they have a two-hour break and then four to nine. 1168 00:42:40,860 --> 00:42:44,340 And people that have visited and write blogs 1169 00:42:44,340 --> 00:42:47,180 and reviews and stuff say that the best time to visit 1170 00:42:47,180 --> 00:42:50,260 is sunset because you get to look out over the water 1171 00:42:50,260 --> 00:42:51,740 and see the sunset and it's all. 1172 00:42:51,740 --> 00:42:52,580 The golden hour. 1173 00:42:52,580 --> 00:42:54,900 Yes, the golden hour. 1174 00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:56,460 That's apparently the time. 1175 00:42:56,460 --> 00:42:58,020 It's weird that they're open and closed, 1176 00:42:58,020 --> 00:42:58,960 to be honest with you. 1177 00:42:58,960 --> 00:43:02,460 Yeah, well, you got people probably volunteering 1178 00:43:02,460 --> 00:43:04,620 to keep it open. 1179 00:43:04,620 --> 00:43:06,580 Some facility nearby. 1180 00:43:06,580 --> 00:43:09,880 You gotta have people running, it's like the gates open. 1181 00:43:09,880 --> 00:43:11,300 There are gates to get in 1182 00:43:11,300 --> 00:43:12,820 because it's somebody's private property, 1183 00:43:12,820 --> 00:43:15,260 so I can understand that. 1184 00:43:15,260 --> 00:43:16,780 Hope they get paid something. 1185 00:43:16,780 --> 00:43:18,260 Yeah, right, I know. 1186 00:43:18,260 --> 00:43:19,100 Yeah, that's neat. 1187 00:43:19,100 --> 00:43:20,260 It's very pretty. 1188 00:43:20,260 --> 00:43:21,340 I like the black top. 1189 00:43:21,340 --> 00:43:22,580 I know that's pretty common, 1190 00:43:22,580 --> 00:43:25,700 but it's a nice contrast to all the other. 1191 00:43:25,700 --> 00:43:27,820 It's nice that he didn't touch the top, I think. 1192 00:43:27,820 --> 00:43:28,980 I think so too. 1193 00:43:28,980 --> 00:43:30,220 Gorgeous cliffside. 1194 00:43:30,220 --> 00:43:31,060 I know it. 1195 00:43:31,060 --> 00:43:32,620 That's in a really nice location. 1196 00:43:32,620 --> 00:43:35,780 That is the Faro de Ajo Lighthouse 1197 00:43:35,780 --> 00:43:37,100 or the Garlic Lighthouse. 1198 00:43:37,100 --> 00:43:38,300 Garlic. 1199 00:43:38,300 --> 00:43:39,980 I think Faro is lighthouse, 1200 00:43:39,980 --> 00:43:41,860 so it's just the Faro de Ajo. 1201 00:43:41,860 --> 00:43:44,780 And I'm like, Faro de Ajo Lighthouse, 1202 00:43:44,780 --> 00:43:46,220 Garlic Lighthouse Lighthouse. 1203 00:43:46,220 --> 00:43:47,620 It's like saying ATM machine. 1204 00:43:48,940 --> 00:43:49,780 Oh. 1205 00:43:49,780 --> 00:43:51,380 Automatic teller machine, machine. 1206 00:43:51,380 --> 00:43:52,500 I was like, wait, what? 1207 00:43:52,500 --> 00:43:53,780 Is that wait, automatic teller? 1208 00:43:53,780 --> 00:43:55,700 Yeah, like a bank teller anyways. 1209 00:43:57,200 --> 00:44:00,300 You came up with that example extremely fast. 1210 00:44:00,300 --> 00:44:02,180 People say it sometimes. 1211 00:44:02,180 --> 00:44:03,020 It's a thing. 1212 00:44:03,020 --> 00:44:03,840 It's funny. 1213 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,380 Well, I have all of the links I used in the show notes 1214 00:44:08,380 --> 00:44:09,660 so you can kind of read about it yourself. 1215 00:44:09,660 --> 00:44:10,620 There's a lot more detail 1216 00:44:10,620 --> 00:44:12,060 I didn't include in my bullet points. 1217 00:44:12,060 --> 00:44:15,700 And you can look up Sea Glass and Faro de Ajo, 1218 00:44:15,700 --> 00:44:17,300 all that stuff. 1219 00:44:17,300 --> 00:44:18,540 You can take a look at it. 1220 00:44:18,540 --> 00:44:21,260 I got some blog posts and stuff in the
