Where can I find the best viewpoints for taking photos along the Tramuntana drive?

Winding along the Serra de Tramuntana, the drive offers some of the most spectacular vantage points on the island. Near the village of Valldemossa, the mountain curves reveal stunning panoramas of terraced olive groves and rugged cliffs dipping into the Mediterranean. Just before Soller, the road climbs to views over the town’s red-tiled roofs and the bay beyond, where the vintage tram line can be glimpsed tracing its way down to the sea. The crisp morning light here highlights the textures of the pine forests and orchard-lined valleys, making it a haven for landscape photographers.

Further north, the Ma-10 road alongside the coast provides breathtaking overlooks at places like Mirador Es Colomer near Formentor. From this vantage point, the rocky promontory juts out into turquoise waters, with hidden coves like Cala Murta visible below. The golden hour casts dramatic shadows across the cliffs, offering memorable shots of light and shade. Along the route, quiet stops near Deià and the solitude of Cala Llombards showcase intimate scenes of rugged coastline and sparkling sea, perfect for seeking moments of peaceful beauty.

Towards the eastern side, Manacor’s rolling countryside contrasts with the mountainous terrain, where vineyards producing Binissalem wine lie close to the Ma-15. Here, the views soften into vast agricultural landscapes, punctuated by traditional fincas and distant village steeples. Whether you favour sweeping coastal panoramas or more enclosed mountain scenes, this drive provides a rich palette of photo opportunities that capture the island’s diverse and enchanting landscape.
