You think you can rest when you reach the lighthouse, but the way back reveals much else. The first meters are very tough but then it flattens out and you can hardly call it a climb anymore
Je denkt te kunnen rusten als je de vuurtoren hebt bereikt, maar de terugweg laat veel anders blijken. De eerste meters zijn heel pittig maar daarna vlakt het af en kan je het bijna geen klim meer noemen
The last bit, but worth the preamble to get there. And to come back!!
The way back from the lighthouse you can feel right away. The first few hundred metres are quite steep, which is tough when your muscles have cooled down after a stop. Then it goes up and down a bit between the beautiful rocks with sometimes nice views of the sea.
De terugweg van de vuurtoren kun je meteen goed voelen. De eerste paar honderd meter zijn behoorlijk steil en dat is pittig als je spieren afgekoeld zijn na een stop. Daarna gaat het wat op en af tussen de prachtige rotsen met soms mooi zicht op de zee.
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.
