Description

El Mirador is a viewpoint in Alcúdia in the north of Mallorca, offering a striking panoramic view and a characterful approach road that makes the journey as memorable as the destination.

Views & Surroundings

The viewpoint rewards visitors with a breathtaking outlook over a spectacular landscape. El Mirador marks the end of the road for independent exploration — the adjoining military grounds are closed to the public, and the road simply stops here. At the very end there is a small turning area that also serves as a parking spot. A little further along you'll find two small benches, perfect for a picnic. A church set on higher ground is also within reach.

Getting There & the Local Area

The approach road is narrow and well used by cyclists, so if you're driving it's worth bearing this in mind and coming in a smaller vehicle. The route is popular as a cycling trip: it offers plenty of shade and the gradients are gentle. The area also has a small, rocky beach — shadeless and very hot in summer — which makes for a brief but charming stop.
