The views from the lighthouse (and all along the way) ere amazing. On a sunny clear day, we could see for miles, making the brilliant blue sea and sky a marvelous contrast to the steep cliffs and craggy mountains. Worth every winding mile of the trip out! More

Not the scariest drive I have ever done, but still need to keep your eyes on the road and ignore the stunning views until you are safely parked! Well worth the short drive from Puerto Pollensa for the magnificent scenery. More

The views en route and at the Cap are terrific, watch out for motorist sightseeing coming the other way though and the tunnel is a bit disconcerting without lights on your bicycle! but Great little eveing ride out from Pollenca More

Driving the spectacular road to cap Formentor was the highlight of our Mallorca vacation. We stopped at the viewpoints, explored roadside paths and ruins, walked on the beach, ate at the restaurant in the Barcelo resort, visited the lighthouse and will forever remember the whole amazing landscape.

For starters: be careful driving if at night, the road is very windy and if you're not used to that sort of thing it can be a bit nerve wrecking. However, YOU MUST GO HERE. It's just beautiful. The views are amazing. Just look at everyone's pictures and then schedule a trip here. It's close to Alcudia and Pollensa so... More

The views are amazing and not only at this point but also during all the way there. When you reach the lighthouse at Cap Formentor you can sit and relax with a snack and a coffee to enjoy it all. More

This is a great drive in the Springtime or off season, Great views, curvy roads and slow going but worth the trip out. Plan a day trip and take lunch and stop along the way. The day we went there was little traffic and the fog and clouds came and went. Well worth the trip up to the Cap as... More

If you do not have much time, I do not recommend as it takes at least 2 hours to drive up and down and there were not enough parkings. More
