Sa Foradada, Limestone peninsula in Deià, Spain.
Sa Foradada is a limestone peninsula extending into the Mediterranean with steep cliffs and a natural arch carved through its rocky mass. The geological feature rises dramatically above the water and commands views across the coastline.
The peninsula served as a strategic lookout point for fishermen and traders since the 16th century along Mediterranean routes. Its position made it valuable for monitoring coastal activity and maritime movements.
The rocky peninsula attracted painters and writers seeking inspiration from its dramatic coastal landscape. Their presence shaped the artistic character of the surrounding village community.
Access is via marked hiking trails that start from Deià village and take about two hours to reach the main viewpoint. Wear sturdy footwear and watch your step on rocky sections of the path.
A natural hole pierces through the peninsula, casting different shadows on the water depending on the time of day. This geological feature continuously changes its appearance as light shifts.
