The Formentor Peninsula, in the north-west end of the island of Mallorca, is a haven of unsurpassed beauty, which offers many possibilities for lovers of both the sea and the mountains, as both bind to exhibit the most imposing landscapes on the island: jagged rocks and endless valleys full of vegetation, all flanked by the sea, making the space a unique spot, where we can admire, from the heights of the peaks incredible panoramas we’ll not find in the best of the postcards: a spectacle for our eyes!

The Fumat is a cliff that falls vertically on Cala Figuereta, located in the western part of the peninsula. On the other hand, we’ll find the beaches of Cala Murta and Cala En Gossalba, where the traditional route usually is done and little difficulty, but with a considerably high rise.

We’ll begin with a slight descent through houses of Cala Murta, to continue the climb to the Coll de la Bretxa, among oaks and palmettos, first with a gentle ascent, that little by little, will become a bit complicated, as we’ll gain altitude and leave behind the forest. The route we’ll follow consists of a winding path which was built in antiquity, long before the road, and that was the only land access to the lighthouse of Formentor.

Soon we could start to enjoy the beautiful views of the Bay of Pollença, Talaia d’Alcúdia, Cap de Pinar and even, in the distance, the Massif of Artà.
