Ses Puntes Viewpoint

One of the lookouts Archduke Ludwig Salvator had built in the mountains above Valldemossa, near the start of the Camí de s'Arxiduc. Inventories call it Mirador de Can Costa; 'ses Puntes' comes from the pointed battlements on its wall, which look like a castle's but never were. You see the northwest coast, the interior and the mountains and, when the air is very clear, all the way to Palma. It's walk-in only: from the end of Carrer de ses Oliveres, up a rocky path beside the Torrent de Son Gual to the controlled gate of Muntanya del Voltor, a little over an hour's climb.
