There are cameras on top that capture your license plate and fine you. To avoid this you have to buy a drink or some food (min. 5€) at the stand and send the receipt and your license plate to the email written on the board next to the stand (also in the pictures).
There is a bus that takes you to the very end, to Far de Formentor every 30mins that costs 1.80 per person.
Otherwise a very beautiful place, the view is incredible and the frappucino was good as well!

During the high season (June - Sept) this is the furthest north point you can reach with your car, unless you have a special permit.
The road further ahead to Cap Formentor is closed for traffic and you'll be fined if you proceed (you can take the bus to Formentor instead).
This mirador is gorgeous with terrific views of northern cliffs and deep blue sea.
It's a busy area so be prepared for parking problems.

The views are amazing but before you go to the tower there are guys watching you, so WE WERE ROBBED, they forced the car and took all our money because they know which are the rented cars cause required by law you need to put the contract visible, they left the things in order so when we went to drop off the car they realised the Door and roof were damaged and had to pay for the damage of the car on top of all our money. Better take the bus. This is a perfect trap for tourists even as full of people as it was. We are not going to Mallorca again.

Beautiful view BUT!!! €80 fine arrived today from a drive up there at 7.40 on September 6th.
We knew we had to take a bus to Formentor( which we did the next night) but no where could we see about driving from Pollensa to Mirador.
So beware!

The views from the mirador are very nice! The trip up there can be done by bicycle (but it looks very hard). We went by car and it is somewhat difficult - not to say chaotic - to get around the crowded parking lot in the car.
I would go by bus another time. Definitely worth a visit though.

we went twice to try and park, in mid-week in mid-october. We never got to park. So try going early morning I guess. By mistake, while trying to park we went by mistake up a mountain road, impossible to turn back, so we went all the way up…. Very beatiful views, but very narrow. Also not any parking, only narrow space to turn around with everybody else.

We drove, couldn’t get up mountain road at first as closed, but came back about 3pm and open. First stop off was the view point, absolutely stunning. Parking free and walk about 5-10mins to the view point.
Next stop was the car park (car park far de formentor) where you can access either beach or take bus up to the lighthouse/cape. Car park expensive, we spent 1.5hrs for around 7 euros. but max amount is 20 euros . Bus to cape cheap, think 1.80 euros. Bus ride was really good with great views.
Think next time would park at the bottom in the town of port de pollenca and get bus all the way up.
To mention some people couldn’t get back on the bus at Cala figuera back down, bus too full from the cape.
Great trip, oils recommend

Spectacular scenery from this mirador on the Cap de Formentor, above Port de Pollenca. Quite a hairy drive negotiating the climb and avoiding the cyclists but well worth the effort. The parking area is well organised and the walk to the viewpoints is easily managed.

Stopped off here for the views while touring the island. Fantastic views with sea on both sides. There were a couple of wild goats to add to the interest.
Parking here is tricky as this is a popular spot. There is a high viewpoint, but maybe a challenge on a hot day.

Biggest piece of advice, set out early i.e. 0830hrs arrival time to avoid the crowds later in the day.
This was en route to Cap Fomentor and in my opinion a far superior point of call then the cap formentor. There are a lot of cyclists about so please take care when moving around in your car.
There is also a bus service that does head in this direction but sadly cannot recall what the number was/is. While we were driving up I can remember the crash barriers in certain locations of the road are made of wood, persevere, it’s not as scary or hellish as it seems. Up to the point of mirador colomer the roads are wide enough to not panic. All the roads require you to do is to be a good judge of character, if you can fit through the gap and drive at a sensible speed then you will be fine.
There is a minimum amount of walking required once you arrive and you can escape with wearing trainers no specialist boots are required in this part.
My personal opinion is to take a packed lunch with yourself and sit down and enjoy the view. I personally can spend a couple of hours here just relaxing/reading and having lunch.
Overall a 8/10

I believe the road to the lighthouse at cap de formentor is closed to cars from mid June. We are going next week- will it still be possible to drive to the mirador es colour?
Thanks!

Is this walkable from Port de Pollenca?
Written September 20, 2018
You should use google maps for these kind of questions ;) it is 5,6km, just remember it is an island, so it is not flat :)
