Cap de Formentor
› Bike along a narrow and curvaceous road en route to a solitary lighthouse perched on the edge of the Cap de Formentor promontory, the island’s northernmost tip › Behold endless vistas of the turquoise Mediterranean from the rugged valleys of the Tramuntana Mountains › Savor a sumptious dinner of seafood and local specialties in a former fortress overlooking the Bay of Palma › Wander through hilltop villages like elegant Banyalbufar, where verdant majarades (terraces) cascade gracefully toward the ocean › Admire the serpentine Sa Calobra, a roller-coaster route of hairpin turns carved into cliffs that drop 3,000 feet to the sea Conquer the Serra de Tramuntana’s dramatic peaks, then unwind in seaside towns and at luxurious fincas (farmhouses). Between the biking, scenery and sunshine, it’s an irresistible combination. World-Class Cycling in the Mediterranean Spain’s Mallorca
