Far de la Mola
07872 El Pilar de la Mola, Balearic Islands, Spain
Far de la Mola is a mid-19th-century lighthouse perched on the eastern cliff of Formentera at El Pilar de la Mola. Still operational, it offers sweeping Mediterranean Sea views, dramatic cliff-top scenery and excellent photo opportunities; the site is reached by a scenic drive or on foot across the La Mola plateau.
What Makes It Special
A small monument to Jules Verne sits close to the lighthouse, lending a literary touch to the dramatic maritime setting and making the headland feel like both a piece of nautical history and a tribute to adventure writing.
Insider Tips
Go in late afternoon for the best light and sunset views, arrive by car or scooter because public transport is limited, wear sturdy shoes and windproof clothing, and be aware the site is not wheelchair accessible (uneven paths and steps).
