About This Route

The most legendary road in the Balearic Islands. Carved by Italian engineer Antonio Parietti in 1932, this road descends 800m in just 12km through a series of wild hairpins, including the famous 270-degree 'Nudo de Corbata' (Tie Knot). It leads to a hidden beach between massive cliffs. WARNING: Extremely steep and narrow with heavy coach traffic in mid-day. An absolute bucket-list drive for those with strong brakes and a love for engineering marvels.
