The ride to Cap de Formentor lighthouse are three relatively short climbs including last very short climb to the lighthouse itself (max 3km). They are definitely light climbs. The drive, tarmac, views are beautiful. Traffic (cars, buses, trucks) in May holiday was really terrible 😢 On that basis, I would give three stars. The road was completely open to traffic up to the lighthouse despite other reports here. Watch out when going downhill for idiot drivers overtaking on blind bends!

De rit naar Cap de Formentor vuurtoren zijn drie relatief korte klimmen inclusief laatste hele korte klim naar de vuurtoren zelf (max 3km). Ze zijn zeker lichte klimmen. De rit, asfalt, uitzicht zijn prachtig. Verkeer (auto’s, bussen, vrachtwagens) was in mei vakantie echt vreselijk 😢 op basis daarvan zou ik drie sterren geven. De weg was tot aan de vuurtoren helemaal open voor verkeer ondanks andere berichtgeving hier. Uitkijken bij het afdalen voor idiote automobilisten die inhalen in blinde bochten!

The last climb to the lighthouse on the peninsula. Then you have a nice ride behind. Try to get here as early as possible, otherwise you get stuck between the returning tourists who can't drive.

De laatste klim naar de vuurtoren op het schiereiland. Dan heb je een mooie rit achter de rug. Probeer zo vroeg mogelijk hier naar toe te gaan, anders rijd je je vast tussen de kerende toeristen die niet kunnen rijden.
