Mirador de la Cova Foradada, Scenic viewpoint on the coast of Felanitx, Mallorca, Spain
The Mirador de la Cova Foradada is a coastal viewpoint in Felanitx, on the island of Mallorca, Spain. It sits above a rocky cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea, next to a natural cave whose roof has a hole worn through by wind and water over time.
The coastline around Felanitx has long been used by local fishermen and farmers who knew the old paths along the cliffs. The rock opening was a recognizable landmark for sailors passing this stretch of shore for centuries.
The viewpoint is reached by a short walk starting from a small parking area near the coast. The path is rocky and uneven in places, so sturdy shoes are a good idea, and bringing water is recommended since there are no facilities on site.
The name Cova Foradada translates literally as the pierced cave, referring to the natural hole in the cave's roof through which you can see the sky from below. This opening is not an entrance but was formed by erosion working downward through the rock over thousands of years.
