Create your own route
The route to Cap de Formentor can easily be adapted to your level and preferences. You can start in Port de Pollença for a compact, intensive ride, or choose to depart from Alcúdia, Sa Pobla, or even Playa de Palma for a longer ride through varied landscapes. This allows you to decide how long, challenging, or relaxed your cycling day will be.
Tip: Start early to avoid traffic and catch the sunrise over the Mediterranean, truely unforgettable.
Starting point Port de Pollença
You start the route in Port de Pollença, a popular coastal town with cozy cafés, perfect for catching your breath before or after your ride. From here, the route climbs straight up via a well-paved road, with views of the bay and the Tramuntana mountains.
The first climb, testing your legs
The first climb takes you to Mirador Es Colomer, a panoramic viewpoint where you simply have to stop. This is followed by a challenging descent towards the Colomer tunnel, followed by a series of short, steep climbs. The road winds its way along rugged cliffs, pine forests, and deep precipices.
Breathtaking views as a reward
The last few kilometers to the lighthouse are car-free and magical. On clear days, you can see all the way to Menorca. A quick stop at Far de Formentor, the iconic lighthouse, is a must. Bring water, as facilities are limited.
