Far de Formentor: The Northern Sentinel • Section 1 of 5

Welcome to Far de Formentor, the northernmost point of the island of Mallorca and arguably one of the most dramatic landscapes in the entire Mediterranean. You are standing at what locals affectionately call the Meeting Point of the Winds, where the Tramuntana, the Gregal, and the Ponent air currents collide above the sea. This rugged peninsula, which stretches for twenty kilometers into the waves, has long been a place of poetic inspiration and navigational necessity. As you look around, you will see that the land here narrows to a thin blade of limestone rock suspended high above the turquoise water, a site so isolated that it was once known as the Mallorcan Finisterre or Land’s End. Before we dive into the history, take a deep breath and feel the immense scale of the Serra de Tramuntana mountain range as it finally plunges into the sea right beneath your feet.
