Breathtaking views, gorgeous scenery, fun tunnels and narrow bridges and roads. It takes you all the way down the road until you hit a dead end at the Lighthouse. It's at the peak of the island and the sunset views were incredible. A must see if you go to Spain. Make sure you drive during the daytime to see the sunset.

What do you do on a cloudy day in Majorca? Go to the caves! It was slightly chilly... just a little…read moretoo cool for the beach so we hopped in our rental car and enjoyed the scenic drive to the caves. So glad we did. They were simply stunning! First you buy your ticket and then wait for the next tour group to go through. They break it down into manageable groups to guide you through the caves and not overcrowd them. Being off season now, it wasn't very busy. Parking was easy and our group was a nice mix of friendly folks. The guide speaks several languages and will repeat each section in the languages represented in the group. It can be hard to hear in the caves if you are further back, so if her/his presentation is important to your experience, be sure to stay closer to the front. One should also know that there are a lot of stairs and dim lighting. This may not be the best excursion for someone that is mobility challenged. We brought my sister's 6 month old but had him in a chest harness. He loved the music and light show but the coolness of the caves compounded with the dim lighting sent him right to sleep for the remainder of the tour. As for what you'll see, just wow. So many variations of structures from large to small. The detail is astounding! The scale is sometimes overwhelming. Having been to other cave complexes/caverns, these do not disappoint. It's well worth the visit and a perfect outing for a cloudy day. Side note, while you're waiting for your tour or when you're done, spend some time along the wall looking down toward the sea. You may be lucky and spot the Wild Mallorcan Goat! We saw two about 20 feet away from us but would have missed them if we didn't look straight down.

Amazing cave and is a must see tourist attraction. The cave tour lasts about 35 minutes, and every…read moreroom in the cave is uniquely stunning with stunning arrays of stalactites and stalagmites. This was my favorite tourist spot in Mallorca because it is completely unique to the region. Just remember to wear the appropriate attire when walking through the cave (no heels, someone in our group suffered). It is also not handicap friendly. Someone also brought a small dog with them and it was super annoying because it kept barking. Yes, this place is dark and scary so dont be THAT person.

There is a reason why it is considered one of the most beautiful roads in the world, and why it has earned the title of a Unesco World Heritage Site. The Cap Formentor is a the northern end of it and after riding for a few hours I ended up at the Cap. The road is so beautiful that sometimes I would say "this is so beautiful" and "damn I'm lucky" out loud in my helmet. If you are in Barcelona, hop over here. There are lots of flights to Palma from anywhere in Europe. Best time is before June and after August as that is the main traveling season and half of Europe is here. But before and after the summer when the temperatures are still very warm (I had 75 degrees in April for the entire ten days) it is a great time to come here. Enjoy. One of my profile pictures, with the curvy road, was taken from the lighthouse building at the Cap Formentor.

I had no idea who this guy was when I looked at the monument but a quick look at Wikipedia and this…read moreguy needs a bigger statue. His manuscripts show his work to have predated by -several centuries- work on elections theory. He is credited with the FIRST work of Catalan literature. He is recognized at the author of Ars Magna, a system of combining logical systems to discover the truth (though it was conceived as an instrument to be used in interfaith dialogue to convert infidels). Born in Majorca in 1232, his parents were members of a middle-class family in Barcelona. He traveled as far as Paris, Genoa, Rome and Tunisia. Pretty long distances for the 1200's! Well worth reading up on this man!
