Spain Fly and Drive - The Best Road Trips

THE BEST ROAD TRIPS

many illustrious characters including the Archduke Ludwig Salvator of Austria and the composer, Manual de Falla. The route continues to the north until you reach Sóller . You'll be surprised by the monumental parish church of Sant Bartomeu and you can take the old tramway to the port of Sóller, another essential feature of your trip through Mallorca. The Tramontana mountain range is over 100 kilometres long but it is very narrow, so during your journey you'll get extraor-

dinary panoramic views of the inland val- leys and mountains as well of the gullies and ravines leading down to the sea. This becomes especially clear on the road to Pollença , another delightful town with a lively port and a historical old town with a medieval flavour. Before you get there, turn off towards Sa Calobra and drive down a spectacular, winding road ending at one of the most extraordinary places on the island: a spectacular cliff over a wonderful cove with a pebble beach where the Torrent del Pareis natu- ral monument meets the sea.
