Far de Sa Mola

Formentera


Perched high over the Mediterranean, 2.5km southeast of El Pilar de la Mola, this 1861 clifftop lighthouse defines the eastern edge of the island, where gold-tinged cliffs cascade into cobalt waves in a sublime seascape. There's a monument to French writer Jules Verne (who used the end-of-the-world setting in one of his novels), along with the gorgeous Codice Luna cafe-restaurant.

Though the lighthouse isn't open to visitors, it's well worth admiring from outside.
