In this new route through the province of Mallorca is totally free. We will visit 4 super interesting places to enjoy a full day, without spending a lot of money, we only advise you to do it in your own vehicle and if you do not have one, you can see a rented one.
We start by visiting the lakes“Cúber” and “Gorg Blau” which are located next to each other. The Cúber reservoir has a great picnic area, where we can eat and hang out. Then we will continue the route to the small village of“Port de Sa Calobra“, which to access it we will do it through a winding road with stunning views. And finally, we will see the sunset at the “Faro de Cap Formentor”.
Embassament de Cúber
The artificial reservoir Embassament de Cúber is located in the valley of Almallutx, in the Serra de Tramuntana. It supplies water to the city of Palma de Mallorca and the surrounding villages and today has become one of the most visited tourist destinations in Mallorca and offers the best landscapes of the slopes of Puig Major and Morro de Cúber.
A tour of the Embassament de Cúber is very easy to do. We will arrive by car to the Font des Noguer parking lot and take the route on foot that is well signposted. Here it will take about an hour, but if you like this place very much you can stay here to spend a very pleasant afternoon, as the area is equipped with tables, barbecues and all the essential services.
Gorg Blau of Mallorca
Continuing our route through the reservoirs of Mallorca, we arrive at the Gorg Blau de Mallorca . This reservoir was built in 1978, to contribute to the fishing and natural conservation of the area. Making it a privileged place, as it shelters one of the greatest natural and scenic riches of Mallorca.
Like the Cúber reservoir, it has become a tourist destination par excellence, and is easily accessible due to its proximity to the former.
Throughout the year you can find excursions to these beautiful reservoirs. In addition, in winter the mountains are covered with snow, making them even more beautiful, because of the contrast between the sea and the completely white mountains.
Port Sa Calobra
Port Sa Calobra It is a set of beaches full of cliffs, coves and beautiful beaches and divided between mountains. Getting to this place is not very easy. You can enter by car, but you should know that the road is a bit dangerous and you have to be careful, but the views along the way are spectacular and it is considered one of the most beautiful roads in Spain, so it is worth the risk. The other option is to arrive by ferry boats leaving from the port of Palma or spend the day on a rental boat near the shore.
Here you will have the option to choose the beach that you like the most, either Sa Calobra beach or the Torrent de Pareis. Both beaches have completely blue seas that let you see the crystal clear waters, they are also ideal for spending a relaxing day with friends, family or as a couple.
Far de Formentor
Following the winding wagon that has taken us along our route for a few more kilometers, we arrive at the Far de Formentor. This lighthouse is famous for the difficulty of its construction in 1863, becoming a very important work of engineering for the city and for the maritime services it offers.
In addition to the work, which is very beautiful, its landscapes with panoramic views of the island are incredible. Here we will enjoy the end of our route and one of the most beautiful sunsets you could imagine.
