Es Cubells Viewpoint

The road bends along the cliff top and the sea opens up straight below, with no railing between you and the drop. On a clear day the horizon fills out with the neighbouring islands.

There is more here than the lookout itself. The church of Es Cubells stands close by, and a path leads down to a spring with a hermitage beside it. That walk takes you away from the traffic on the bend and down towards the water, which is the quieter way to spend time here.

• There is no railing along the cliff edge, and the lookout sits on a curve where cars pass close. Keep children by the hand.
• The roadside verge is barely wide enough for one car. A car park lies about 190 m away.
• No toilets and no drinking water at the viewpoint, and none nearby. Bring water with you.
• Not suited to wheelchairs: neither the parking nor the access is adapted.
• The path down to the spring and hermitage means a climb back up on the return.

You arrive by road through Es Cubells, and the viewpoint is right at a bend in it. The verge there is barely wide enough for one car, and traffic passes close. Leave the car at the car park about 190 m away, or the second one about 465 m away, and walk the rest, watching for cars on the curve.

The Es Cubells stop is about 170 m away. From the lookout, a path leads down to the spring and its hermitage.

Best: a clear, sharp day, when the neighbouring islands stand out on the horizon.

Avoid: coming after dark, and hazy days.

The edge is unrailed and the lookout is on a bend in the road, so daylight matters, and haze wipes the islands out of the view.
