Cap de Formentor excursion<\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Coming to Mallorca and not going on an excursion to Cap Formentor is like going to Rome and not visiting the Colosseum or coming to Palma and not taking a free tour of the old town with Mallorca Free Tour<\/a><\/span><\/strong> (;D).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The whole island is full of wonders. Here we present one of the wonders of the north of the island of Mallorca: Cap Formentor<\/strong>, known as the Mallorcan Finisterre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Formentor <\/strong>is a narrow peninsula about 20 km long located in the municipality of Pollensa<\/strong>. Away from the most touristy areas, this area has been a refuge for artists and has served as an inspiration for all kinds of people: poets, painters, singer-songwriters, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Viewpoints: Es Colomer and Albercutx watchtower<\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the first stops is the viewpoints: Mirador del Colomer and Albercutx watchtower<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From the viewpoints, the views are impressive, a vision of the Serra de Tramuntana and Cabo de Formentor<\/strong> in all its splendour. Of course, if someone has vertigo, be careful! The views of the cliffs impress, even the bravest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first viewpoint is the Colomer. There, we can see a monument dedicated to the engineer Antonio Parietti Coll.<\/strong> He was in charge of carrying out the construction of the current road, that connects the Port of Pollensa and the Lighthouse of Formentor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From there, we can visit the second viewpoint: the Albercuxt watchtower<\/strong>. This is one of the many defence towers that was built between the 16th and 17th centuries to protect Mallorca from the constant attacks by pirates and corsairs<\/span><\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
