From Port de Pollença out to the lighthouse at the northern tip of Mallorca. A rolling, technical road with stunning sea views from the Mirador des Colomer.
Direction. Out-and-back. Climb from Port de Pollença, peaking at Coll de sa Creueta with a stop at Mirador des Colomer, then rolling terrain to the lighthouse.
Before you climb
Mid-May to mid-October (202615 May-15 Oct, 10:00-22:00) private cars are restricted, so bikes share the road with almost no traffic. Outside that window, start before 09:00 to avoid coaches. No water past the Hotel Formentor.
Access & road rules
- Private cars and motorbikes are restricted on the Ma-2210 from 15 May to 15 October 2026 (some press reports say 18 October), daily 10:00-22:00. Check formentor.conselldemallorca.es for the current end date.
- Cyclists and pedestrians are exempt: bikes may ride the whole road at any hour, including the closed section from Formentor beach to the lighthouse (about km 8.7 to km 19.6).
- Section 1 (Port de Pollença to Formentor beach) lets private cars in only while the beach car park has space; section 2 (beach to lighthouse) is closed to them. TIB bus 334 (Alcúdia - Port de Pollença - lighthouse) runs daily during the restriction and is the shuttle option.
- Why it matters for riders: far less traffic between 10:00 and 22:00, so the quiet hours are no longer only dawn. Outside the restriction period, start before 09:00 to avoid coaches. Unauthorised vehicles risk fines of 100-200 EUR (DGT).
- No lighthouse-road closure for rockfall or works was reported at the time of checking.
