What interesting stops should I visit when driving along the Ma-10 through the Serra de Tramuntana?

Winding through the Serra de Tramuntana, the Ma-10 offers some of the island’s most captivating stops and viewpoints. Small villages like Deià and Valldemossa tempt visitors with their charming stone streets, local artisan shops, and cafés where you can savor traditional sobrassada or a sweet ensaïmada. Nestled between dramatic mountain peaks and olive groves, these towns feel like a step back in time and offer a peaceful break from the winding road.

Further along, the town of Sóller, accessible by road or the vintage Tren de Sóller, is an excellent place to stretch your legs. The vibrant marketplace and the Plaça Constitució are perfect spots to sample local delicacies such as pa amb oli alongside a glass of Binissalem wine. Heading north, the coastal road leads to Formentor, where the lighthouse rewards you with panoramic views over the turquoise sea and the iconic pine-fringed beaches.

Besides these towns, keep an eye out for hidden coves like Cala Llombards or the idyllic Cala Mondragó nature reserve along the Ma-19. Each of these stops offers not only stunning scenery but also opportunities for hiking, swimming, and immersing yourself in the island’s natural rhythms. Whether you time your journey to coincide with a local festival such as the Festa de l’Ametler in February or a lively market in Alcúdia, these detours make any trip across the island’s rugged heart unforgettable.
