Un emblema del siglo XIX

El Faro de Capdepera fue construido en 1861 por orden de Isabel II como un punto de referencia para los navegantes que transitaban desde el sur de Francia hacia la isla de Menorca. Pronto, esta emblemática torre de luz se convierte en un escudo protector para las víctimas de naufragios castigadas por los fuertes vientos de la zona, así como en un ícono de las mejores vistas panorámicas desde donde puede observarse el noreste de Mallorca a más de cincuenta metros del nivel del mar. Situado a tan solo dos kilómetros de Cala Ratjada, el acceso al faro se realiza por una carretera sinuosa que está en óptimas condiciones para subir en coche, en bicilecta o a pie. Y una vez arriba, el cielo es la recompensa.

Ein Symbol des 19. Jahrhunderts

The Lighthouse of Capdepera was built in 1861 by order of Isabel II as a point of reference for sailors who traveled from the south of France to the island of Menorca. This emblematic light tower has quickly become a protective shield for the victims of shipwrecks affected by the strong winds of the area, as well as an icon of the best panoramic views from where the northeast of Mallorca can be observed at more than fifty meters above the sea level. Located just two kilometers from Cala Ratjada, the access to the lighthouse is through a sinuous road which is in optimal conditions to travel by car, bicycle or on foot. And once up, the sky is the reward.
