Cap de Formentor
Cap de Formentor ((:ˈcab də formənˈto)) forms the eastern end of Majorca's ''Formentor'' peninsula. The Majorcans also call the cape the ''Meeting point of the winds''.
==Location==
Cap de Formentor is a spectacular place,located on the northernmost point of the Balaeric Island Majorca in Spain. Its highest point, ''Fumart'', is 384m above sea level. It has many associated bays, including ''Cala Fiquera, Cala Murta'' and ''Cala Pi de la Posada''.
The 13.5 km road which runs from Port de Pollença to Cap de Formentor was built by the Italian engineer Antonio Parietti. His masterpiece on Majorca, however, was ''the snake'' to Sa Calobra. Instead of being overwhelmed by what stood in his way on the cliffs, Parretti observed the Tramuntana winds and understood: where the slope was too steep, he made a curve. When he had to remove part of the cliffs, he placed the waste in other places where it was needed. The result was the two roads, which are nestled together in the mountains like abandoned silk ribbons.
