From Polleça to Puerto de Pollença to the Cape of Formentor

Ahead a couple of days of road trip savoring inland and coastal destinations. Don't forget your swimsuit, even though we are going "to the end of the world", you will need it.

This car park is just a 10-minute walk from the Plaza Mayor and is a free alternative to searching the streets of the town for a parking space.

Charming Mallorcan village next to the Sierra de Tramuntana. The Plaza Mayor is the nerve center where the daily life of the village takes place, surrounded by small stores, bars, restaurants and the parish church Mare de Déu dels Àngels, patron saint of the town.
If your visit coincides on Sunday, take the opportunity to buy typical products of Mallorcan gastronomy, as well as fruits and vegetables kilometer zero in its Sunday market. Enjoy the atmosphere with a stroll through the surroundings and get ready for the next memorable local experience.

The ascent to Calvary is 365 steps, one for each day of the year. This path, flanked by cypress trees and 14 crosses of three meters high, recalls the Calvary that Jesus Christ suffered on his way to Mount Golgotha where he was crucified. Every Good Friday one of the most important traditions of the Majorcan Holy Week is celebrated, the Davallament (Detachment of the cross). The effort of climbing up to this 18th century church has its reward: one of the best views of Pollença.

This central parking is very well located near the beach Can Cap de Bou both for a walk along the promenade and you have it very close to the restaurant where you will dine later. From here you can walk to the next point of the itinerary and back.

Puerto de Pollença has white sandy beaches, rocky areas and is a perfect spot for water sports. The surroundings of this secluded beach are dotted with pine trees, tamarinds, holiday villas and hotels. This small beach is located between Port de Pollença and Punta de la Avanzada, where after lunch you will visit the Fortaleza d'Albercuix.
Now enjoy a walk by the sea along the coast and a vitaminic dose of sun. If you are not a beach lover you can have a drink in one of the bars and restaurants that you will find between the hotels Sis Pins and the colonial Illa d'Or, whose architecture inspired the writer Agatha Christie to write her novel "Trouble in Pollensa".

Return to the parking lot to pick up the car and continue your trip around the Formentor Peninsula. But first, you deserve to have lunch in front of the sea.

Eating is a great pleasure. That they know it well in C'an Josep. In their menu fish (Cod confit with sobrasada and honey, grilled cuttlefish...), meats, rice dishes and paellas are the protagonists. They also have fresh and seafood starters such as avocado with prawns, prawns with garlic or squid Andalusian style with chickpea flour. If to this we add an excellent quality-price, the success is served.

Picturesque lighthouse of the twentieth century (inaugurated in 1905) that frames one of the projections of the Formentor Peninsula. Nowadays it is part of the adjacent Military Base of Hydroplanes of the Port of Pollensa. Come and take a look at the Albercutx Fortress which was designed in the 17th century to defend the area from pirate attacks.
At its feet, due to the shelter provided by the horseshoe-shaped bay of Pollensa, it is an ideal spot for beginners to practice scuba diving, as well as the "baptisms" of divers, since the bottom is sandy and has a maximum depth of 12 meters.

How about digesting your food at one of Pollensa's essential beaches? Illustrious characters such as Winston Churchill or Charlie Chaplin have passed through here - whether to digest, take a bath or smoke a cigar - we don't know.
Playa de Formentor, awarded with the distinctive Blue Flag, stretches like a kilometer-long tongue of sand surrounded by dense pine forests facing a turquoise blue sea. Swimming, snorkeling, paddle surfing, windsurfing and canoeing - paradise on earth!

What an end of day to remember for the rest of your life! Cape Formentor is the result of erosion caused by wind and waves. The northernmost point of Mallorca marks the limits of an island that has no limits in the experiences and experiences that can provide you.
To get here, be prepared for a good portion of curves and a certain volume of traffic of cars and cyclists. Take it easy! And remember to keep the safety distance of 1.5 meters to overtake cyclists. If you are in good time I suggest you stop for a few minutes at the Mirador del Mal Pas.
The Mallorcans affectionately refer to this site as "the meeting point of the winds" and it is here that the currents of the Iberian Peninsula, the interior of Europe and North Africa cross. Inaugurated in 1863 and located at an altitude of 384 meters, this balcony overlooking a unique natural environment is a marvel. If you also arrive at sunset, the sky is tinged with a palette of colors that mixes reddish and orange tones.

Originality rules in the menu of this restaurant whose customers emphasize its surprising flavors that activate the senses and the treatment is unbeatable. So you really enjoy the good life! The restaurant has an indoor terrace and an extensive cocktail menu to accompany the meal or as a culmination of it. From the restaurant to the parking you have little more than 5 minutes walk.
