Anyone driven to Cap De Formentor? (Eek)

[hora]

Anyone? I fear heights. I've just driven this road..there and then back. I'm now drinking a beer.

Edit- it's a busy road with tourists in left-hand drive cars and alot of wooden fencing on the outside edge of bends. Climbing and dropping through 5,000ft.

Cycled it 2 or 3 years ago. Brilliant descent.

It features alot in Cyclist magazine doesn't it? I'll return to ride it but never ever again drive it

Drove it in a fiat 500 hire car. lovely bit of road, but ridiculous amounts of cyclists! when we eventually got to the lighthouse there were about 200 cyclists there. if we go back i'll aim to drive it at sunset.

better than the road to sa colobra in my opinion.

Thousands of cyclists because its fairly easy. Start at PP, jog up the hill in granny gear, have an ice cream, whizz d8wn in time for tea and medals.

Ha , don't go to Sa Colobra if you don't like hairpin bends!
Enjoy beautiful Majorca.
(Afternoon drinks at the Illa d'Or is our favourite thing)

Evo mag visited Majorca a couple of years ago and made a nice video of the Cap de Formentor and Sa Colobra roads:

Any recommended decent car hire companies? I don't fancy a Panda with spongy brakes again.
