The wildest north
The lighthouse was built in 1857 on the cape that closes the island to the north. Around it, a landscape of low scrub and rock falling sheer into the sea, home to seabirds.
On the way you pass the natural harbour of Sanitja, where there was a Roman settlement, and Cavalleria beach, with reddish sand.
Tips
The tramontana wind blows hard: hold on to your hat and stay away from the cliff edge.
