What to do during your holidays in Cape Formentor
one) Lighthouse of Formentor– This was inaugurated back in 1863, granting recognition to this place. The trip to Faro de Formentor was a refreshing experience. There are great views along the way and you can even choose to use a bike to get to the spot. However, when you reach your goal, there is a nice cafe to relax; prices can be a bit exorbitant. So you can choose to bring your own picnic basket and enjoy the view. The view at sunset is simply stunning. There are many hairpin turns and many of you may find the road a bit stressful, however after you get there you will find it worth the pain.
two) Viewpoint Es Colomer Formentor– If you are a bit adventurous, take a bike and go up to the viewpoint in the Sierra de Tramuntana, near Puerto Pollensa. This point will allow you to see Mallorca in all its wild and rugged beauty. The Mirador d’es Colomer rises to more than 300 meters above sea level and surely the beauty of this place will captivate you. You can also use a car to go up, however you will have to be a bit careful as there are hairpin turns and bicyclists on the way.
3) Diving Majorca– This place is located about 12.8 km from Cap de Formentor in Port de Pollenca, Mallorca Spain. So if you are a water baby, don’t miss this opportunity.
