An overlook on Mallorca
Visits
- 2026-08-11: After our failed attempt to find an eclipse viewing spot, we drove over to the other side of the mountain hoping to find Eleonora's Falcon. Sure enough, I spotted one flying over the road on the way up to the viewpoint. Unfortunately, there was nowhere to pull over the car. When we got to the lighthouse parking lot, it was completely full. Driving back to Palma, we saw the falcons again, flying over the road with nowhere to pull over.
