The Mirador de Cap Andritxol is a viewpoint with a historic watchtower in the municipality of Andratx, celebrated for its panoramic views across the bays and rugged coastline of Mallorca's south-west shore.

Views & Experience

The climb rewards you with a sweeping panorama taking in Camp de Mar, Peguera, Cala Fornells and Santa Ponça — bays and sea cliffs stretching across both sides of the headland. Sunsets over the water are a particular draw, bringing visitors back time and again. The area is wonderfully peaceful, and away from busy spells you'll often have the place almost to yourself.

The Watchtower

At the heart of the viewpoint stands a historic tower, though it isn't open to go inside. A few hundred metres beyond the tower lies the true tip of Cap Andritxol, where the views open up even further.

The Path Up

The route is stony, rocky and steep in places — sturdy footwear is strongly recommended. Along the way you'll pass secluded coves and a varied coastal landscape. Very young children will find the ascent quite demanding; older children tend to manage it well. A signpost at the starting point indicates the walking time to the mirador. Setting off from Paguera, you follow a shaded path with glimpses of bathing coves; from Cala Fornells, a gravel car park at the end of the main road makes a convenient starting point. You can also drive as far as Carrer Prunera, where roadside parking is available. Bear in mind that Google Maps sometimes directs walkers the wrong way from the start — the on-site signpost is far more reliable. Of the three paths heading uphill, take the one on the left.
