Mallorca: Best view

The Peninsula de Formentor is about 20 km long with mountains and stunning views. The rich and famous have played here. It was the best part of our trip.
Here is the map of Mallorca. We are at the top right tip.



This rock out the of water is majestic.





The road is well maintained but narrow with many S-Curves. Beware.

A very steep and narrow road leads to this shack and a very old lookout tower.









This tower was used to search for pirates and enemy ships. You can see miles. The views are spectacular.







From the tower you can see the Formentor Hotel. Many celebrities including Elizabeth Taylor have stayed there.







Wow.








At the Cap de Formentor is a lighthouse...my favorite place on the island of Mallorca.








Bob loves to travel and is contemplative about life and civilizations. This locations seems to capture his outlook on life and the world.






The cliff from the lighthouse goes down a long ways!










The mountains from the lighthouse.
