Extending from the very north of Majorca out into the Med, Cape Formentor is a jagged finger of land – and one of the most scenic parts of the island. On this tour, you'll visit a village market and enjoy time on Formentor beach. Plus, there's a stop Es Colomer viewpoint and a boat trip along the Formentor coast. Lluc, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘I love exploring Cape Formentor – a mountainous peninsula where the spectacular views along the coast are accompanied by the scent of the Mediterranean pines and the herbs that grow wild here.'
Kick off the day with a wander around a weekly market – it's a taste of rural Majorcan life. Lluc says, ‘The vendors selling just a few different types of seasonal fruit or vegetables are usually farmers who grow their own produce – and usually the best value.' Next, we'll set off to explore the Formentor peninsula. As we drive around its winding roads, you'll be treated to dramatic scenery. We'll stop at Es Colomer, where there are unrivalled views of the coastal cliffs.
Then it's time to chill out on Formentor beach. This narrow, curved strand is fringed by a pine forest and is washed by pastel-blue waters. Refreshments are available at a beach café, and you can secure your table by choosing the ‘lunch included' option. To round off, we'll go by boat to Port de Pollença, where the seafront is lined with stylish villas and hotels from its early 20th-century golden age.
