Bella Vista
Bella Vista is a tiny viewpoint in Costa de la Calma, Mallorca. It looks over Paguera, Santa Ponsa, Cala Fornells and the Mediterranean Sea, and can be reached on foot from Paguera Beach in about 20 minutes through forest paths. Parking is available right in front or very close by. The stairs down to the sea are described as closed or unsafe, so the stop is mainly for a short photo break at sunset.
