A beautiful 4-hour trip to one of the oldest towns — visit the northernmost peninsula of Mallorca! Relish Pollença — the ancient city, founded by the Romans, and its narrow streets and an authentic main square dotted with cafes, restaurants, and bars. The Moors, Templars, Jesuits, and pirates have all left their mark on this rich history. Since the beginning of the last century, the beauty of this place has inspired artists, writers, and musicians and attracted many tourists.

There are several unique landmarks in Pollença, including Puig de Maria and Calvary Church. A staircase of 365 stone steps leads up the hill to the Calvary Church from the city's center, symbolizing the path of Christ to Calvary. Cypress trees beautifully frame it, and one can see small gardens and charming houses here and there. The sanctuary of Puig de Maria was built in the 14th century at 330 meters above sea level. After many changes, the monastery is now a mix of Gothic and Baroque styles. The 14th-century refectory and altar are both worth seeing.

Most tourists visiting Mallorca include a visit to Cape Formentor in their program. The main reason for this popularity is its incredibly scenic nature: a picturesque cape with an old lighthouse, a beautiful cavern on the beach, pristine beaches, and several landmarks. You'll have a stop at the lookout point of the peninsula so you can view the cliffs and take stunning photos.
