August is the perfect time to slow down and enjoy Mallorca like a resident — far from the tourist crowds, in the heart of nature and tradition. One of the most scenic routes on the island is the journey to Cap de Formentor, and we’ve built a full-day plan around it, just for you.
🧭 Your Local-Style Itinerary:
🗺️ 1. Morning Drive or Bike Ride to Cap de Formentor
Start your day early and head toward Cap de Formentor, the dramatic peninsula on the island’s northern tip. The winding coastal road is surrounded by cliffs, pine trees, and panoramic views — especially breathtaking from Mirador Es Colomer.
-
🚗 Access by car or 🚴♂️ by e-bike (recommended for adventure lovers)
-
📸 Don’t miss photo stops along the way — each curve offers a new vista
🛍️ 2. Visit a Local Market in Pollença or Alcúdia
Stop by a traditional Tuesday market in Alcúdia or Sunday in Pollença. These lively plazas are full of character and colour:
-
Local cheeses, cured meats, fruit and olive oil
-
Handmade ceramics, woven baskets and island textiles
-
Enjoy a café con leche in the town square like a true local
🌊 3. End the Day at a Peaceful Beach
After your inland adventure, head back to the coast and unwind at Platja de Formentor or the lesser-known Cala Murta (a short hike from the road).
-
🧴 Bring water, snacks, and shade (these spots are natural and unspoiled)
-
🐚 Ideal for swimming, sunbathing, or simply doing nothing
