Sa Calobra, Majorca, Balearic Islands, Spain

Another curious beach I loved in Majorca was Sa Calobra. Located between Sóller and Formentor it has the most funny curvy road to get there - this one large (at least for a car) and with pavement in excellent condition - a true pleasure to drive through.

Above two photos taken from the start of the descent that gives you a very good idea of the place. The one the left taken towards the snaky road and the one on the right facing our final destiny, the beach and ocean down bellow.

Sa Calobra's road will take you all the way to a park (a few kilometers downhill) where you should leave your transport and proceed on foot following a boardwalk which I must rate as a very good one! Just take a look above and check the path you'll have to do on foot to get to the beach - inspiring view right? - three seconds of it and my day is already better ;)

As to the beach itself, fabulous... Having a background dominated by high cliffs and rocky areas and the usual sand replaced by many small round withe and gray river stones makes, the place is unique. One word of advice, beware that in the winter the place may be submerged (notice the local river on the photo above - near the cliffs to the left).
