The route
First you climb gently to Sant Francesc, the capital, where there are bars, shops and water. From there the Cap de Barbaria road sets off, straight and quiet, crossing fields of fig trees and junipers with dry-stone walls, until it ends in an almost bare landscape of rock and scrub facing the sea. At the end is the lighthouse and, next to it, the Torre des Garroveret.
It's tarmac, almost flat, fine for any bike and for riding with children if you take a little care. Past Sant Francesc there's nowhere to buy anything, and there's no shade on the cape: take water and a cap. Outside July and August the road is very quiet; in summer, car access to the lighthouse is restricted and the bike is the best way to get there. You come back the same way.
