Bucket-List Print: Cap de Formentor
Cap de Formentor is one of the most iconic cycling routes on Mallorca. The road stretches 7.3 kilometres from Pollença to the lighthouse at the island’s northeastern tip. The peninsula was historically only accessible by boat until the road was constructed in the 1930s.
Furthermore, Cap de Formentor holds a special place in Mallorcan cycling culture. Thousands of cyclists tackle this route every year, making it one of the most celebrated rides on the island. Although the average gradient of 2.8 percent sounds manageable, the maximum pitch of 18.6 percent demands serious respect.
