If you are looking for dramatic and windswept views, then visit the northern tip of Mallorca. The Cape de Formentor is the spot where the Sierra de Trauntana Mountains collides with the Mediterranean Sea.<\/p>\n

\"Cape<\/p>\n

Its name literally means \u2018end of Formentor\u2019, the wild peninsula abounds with stunning views. Sandy but almost inaccessible beaches lie at the bottom of 400-metre-high cliffs.<\/p>\n

There isn\u2019t anywhere more dramatic on Mallorca than this haven for thousands of nesting seabirds. Eleanoras falcons make their homes amongst the strange cliff formations, where even pine trees grow out from the rocks. A lonely, windswept lighthouse high on the promontory marks the end of this wonderful island.<\/p>\n

The 20-kilometre drive from Port de Pollenca is not for the faint-hearted. Legend has it that a priest and the local bus driver died on the precarious route, and both tried to get through the Pearly Gates, but only the bus driver was let in.<\/p>\n

Cape de Formentor is also home to an accessible, sweet-smelling pine-clad beach. Notable figures who were known to be fans of this stunning beach include Winston Churchill and Charlie Chaplin. There have also been many artists, playwrights and poets who have found inspiration here.<\/p>\n

When driving to the Cape de Formentor be sure to take your camera. There are some great viewpoints on the drive, particularly the view from Mirador des Colomer. A path heads up to an old watchtower – Talaia d\u2019Albercutx – with fantastic views of the whole peninsula. There are also photographic opportunities at Mirador de Pas.<\/p>\n

If driving along precarious hairpin bends isn\u2019t for you, there are also boat trips to this region, which provide the perfect opportunity to study the staggering cliff faces and thriving bird population.<\/p>\n
