Cap de Formentor

Cap de Formentor is located on the northernmost point of the Balearic Island Mallorca in Spain.

[1] Following the death of the renowned Mallorcan poet Miquel Costa i Llobera, author of the famous poem The Pine of Formentor and owner the Cap de Formentor peninsula, it was divided into lots and sold.

In 1928 Adan Diehl, an Argentinian native and art lover, decided to build the Hotel Formentor.

The panorama from Mallorca's Finisterre illuminates Menorca in the east, Cala Figuera in the west, and Alcudia with its sandy beach in the south.

However, the view of the cliffs below is not for sufferers of vertigo as sea roars 300m below and the winds on the headland can be vicious.
