The first climb of many towards the lighthouse on formentor. Road surface in good condition but watch out as it gets very busy here. My preference here is rather the descent where you can take speed well... read more

De eerste beklimming van vele richting de vuurtoren op formentor. Wegdek in goede staat maar let op want het wordt hier erg druk. Mijn voorkeur gaat hier eerder naar de afdaling waar je goed snelheid kunt nemen

A super climb and a beautiful start to the Formentor ride but leave early in the morning! It gets very busy!

Must do! Nice steady climb, prefer the descent tho! Great road surface with views across the bay. Plenty of good cafes to stop at in pollensa to chat about the great ride!

The first ascent to the lighthouse remains in my memory mainly because of the beautiful views. Regularly look aside or over your shoulder as you can see Port Pollenca and all the boats in the bay beautifully. The climb itself has, apart from the first 200m, perfect tarmac. It was very busy with traffic though.

De eerste beklimming op weg naar de vuurtoren blijft me vooral bij om de mooie uitzichten. Kijk regelamtig even opzij of over je schouder want je ziet Port Pollenca met alle bootjes in de baai schitterend liggen. De klim zelf heeft, op de eerste 200m na, perfect asfalt. Het was wel erg druk met verkeer.

This first climb is part of a series of climbs on a beautiful road an Polença to Cap de Formentor. After a number of hairpin bends, you drive along the wall with the valley to the left where Polença lies and you can see far across the sea. I have done this climb several times and there was a treacherous wind each time. So be careful on this descent. At the top is a nice viewpoint with parking and a kiosk to get something to eat and drink.

Deze eerste beklimming is onderdeel van een reeks beklimmingen over een schitterende weg an Polença naar Cap de Formentor. Na een aantal haarspeldbochten rijd je langs de wand met links het dal waar Polença ligt en je ver over de zee kunt kijken. Ik heb deze beklimming een aantal keren en er stond telkens een verraderlijke wind. Let dus op bij deze afdaling. Boven is een mooi uitzichtpunt met parkeerplaats en een kiosk om wat te eten en drinken.

Férias por Maiorca. A esposa e o filho deixaram-me dar uma voltinha até ao farol de Formentor, num dia um bocado agreste. Bicicleta alugada em Alcúdia (cidade muralhada interessante mas com excesso de turistas) e lá fui eu. 55km com subidas acessíveis. Primeiros quilómetros planos para aquecer e depois começam as subidas e as incríveis paisagens. Muitos ciclistas a fazer este percurso, a diferentes ritmos. Infelizmente a quantidade de carros era enorme, mesmo num dia feio.

Subida com algumas pendentes complicadas mas acessível. O miradouro no final da subida merece uma paragem.

Vacation in Mallorca. My wife and son let me take a ride to the Formentor lighthouse on a somewhat rough day. I rented a bike in Alcúdia (an interesting walled city but overcrowded with tourists) and off I went. 55km with manageable climbs. The first few kilometers were flat to warm up, and then the climbs and incredible landscapes began. Many cyclists were doing this route at different paces. Unfortunately, the number of cars was enormous, even on an ugly day.

The climb had some challenging slopes but was manageable. The viewpoint at the end of the climb is worth a stop.

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!

Awesome climb, great scenery over to the sea. Road surface is pretty good but there is a steady stream of traffic. Mostly respectful of all the cyclists though.

Nice climb from Port de Pollença, like most roads quite a lot of cars with day trippers to the cape. Quite a runner with a good overview, the descent is therefore also beautiful. The views on top of the rocks (just get off) are definitely worth it! The climb from the other side is even more beautiful, but if you cycle to the cape, you will find it on the way back!

Mooie beklimming vanuit Port de Pollença, zoals meeste wegen wel vrij veel auto’s met dagjesmensen naar de kaap. Behoorlijke loper met goed overzicht, de afdaling is daarmee ook mooi. De uitzichten boven op de rotsen (even afstappen) zijn zeker de moeite waard! De klim van de andere kant is nog een tikje mooier, maar als je naar de kaap fietst kom je die vanzelf tegen op de terugweg!
