Nus de Sa Corbata is a viewpoint and stretch of road in Escorca, whose defining 270-degree loop — known as the "knot of the tie" — ranks among the most spectacular spots in the Serra de Tramuntana.

The Knot of the Tie

The centrepiece of this place is the 270-degree bend on the Ma-2141 road between the Coll dels Reis and Sa Calobra. The loop, whose shape resembles a tie knot, is regarded as a masterpiece of road engineering. Whether you're heading downhill or climbing up, this section forms part of the route and shapes the experience in a truly memorable way.

Panoramas & Natural Beauty

All around the bend, sweeping views open up across the mountains, gorges and valleys of the Tramuntana. Travelling the route by car or bike reveals new vistas at every turn. The evening light in particular gives the landscape a remarkable quality.

For Cyclists and Driving Enthusiasts

The winding, at times steep road draws cyclists from all over the world. The rhythm of the serpentine climbs and descents makes this route a sought-after destination for cycling enthusiasts. Drivers should factor in the occasionally narrow bends, oncoming coaches and the steady flow of cyclists, and proceed with care accordingly.
