Torre de Cala Figuera
Description
The Torre de Cala Figuera is a historic watchtower and lighthouse complex on Mallorca, perched above dramatic sea cliffs and offering sweeping views across the open Mediterranean.
History & Character
The tower once formed part of the island's coastal defence network, making it a genuine relic of military fortification from a bygone era. The wider complex includes wartime bunkers that are freely accessible and open to explore. The surrounding stretch of coastline remains completely unspoilt — a raw and natural slice of Mediterranean landscape.
Views & Atmosphere
The panorama stretches far out over the open sea, framed by rugged sea cliffs and the dense Mediterranean scrubland. The remoteness of the spot lends it a calm, almost deserted quality — particularly so on weekdays.
Getting There & Access
From the entrance gate onwards, the route to the tower is accessible on foot or by bicycle only — no vehicles are permitted beyond that point. The path covers roughly 3 km, is fully asphalted, winds through woodland, and takes around 25 to 30 minutes to complete. Those who opt for the coastal route will find more varied scenery but slightly more demanding terrain. It's well worth bringing a rucksack with drinks and a snack. The lighthouse itself is fenced off and cannot be entered. Weekends tend to be noticeably busier than weekdays.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I drive all the way to the tower?
No — beyond the entrance gate the road is closed to vehicles. You'll need to continue on foot or by bicycle.
Can I go inside the tower?
The lighthouse itself is fenced off and not accessible. The wartime bunkers within the complex, however, are freely open to explore.
How difficult is the walk?
The main route follows an asphalted road through woodland and is straightforward. The coastal path involves rocky and uneven ground, so sturdy footwear is advisable.
