¿Dónde Está La Luz? (English: Where Is The Light?) is the fourth studio album by power metal band WarCry, released on February 1, 2005, and distributed through Avispa Music.

¿Dónde Está La Luz? was recorded in the M-20 Studios in Madrid. Roberto García left Avalanch after the release of El Ángel Caído due to personal and professional problems with Alberto Rionda. He had always worked as guitarist, but WarCry needed a bassist after Jardón's departure at the end the band's last concert from El Sello De Los Tiempos Tour, so he decided to handle bass duties in order to become a member. The album was released in digipak format, as a CD-DVD. The DVD contained a music video of the song "Contra El Viento", an interview with the band members, some of the recording sessions in the studio, and more. All the songs were composed by frontman, lead singer, and songwriter Víctor García.

The album was well received by critics and mostly by fans, being considered as "WarCry's heaviest album to date" (the previous ones were power metal). Francisco Fonseca of Metal Archives described the record as "catchy, with almost no fast drumming, lots of good riffs, choruses in every song, ballads, and metal fusions." The lyrics of this work deal with agony, fantasy, but most of all, with social issues, such as abuse, crime, and discrimination.

The ¿Dónde Está La Luz? Tour supported the album, from which was released Directo A La Luz, a recording of a concert in Madrid on November 5, 2005. This live album had a great reception by critics and fans. It was soon certified gold and reached number 1 in the Spanish chart of DVD sales, staying in a high position for many weeks.
