Cap de Formentor, Rocky cape at northern tip of Mallorca, Spain
The limestone cliffs of Cap de Formentor rise 384 meters above the Mediterranean Sea, forming the northernmost point of Mallorca's Formentor peninsula.
The Formentor Lighthouse, constructed in 1863 at the cape's edge, required materials to be transported by sea or mule track due to its remote location.
Mallorcan poet Miquel Costa i Llobera owned the Formentor peninsula and wrote poems about the area before the land was divided and sold.
From June to September, the road to the lighthouse closes between 10:00 and 19:00, with access limited to bus service number 334.
The Racó de Xot cave, located in the southeastern section of the headland, extends 90 meters in length and contains evidence of prehistoric talaiot settlements.
