MA-10 is the wildest road of Mallorca

MA-10 is hands-down one of Mallorca's most thrilling drives, cutting right through the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana mountains in Spain's Balearic Islands. Locals call it "the wildest road on the island," and once you've tackled it, you'll understand why.

This fully paved 110 km (68 mi) ribbon of asphalt stretches from the charming village of Andratx on the southwestern coast all the way to the picturesque town of Pollença in the north. Along the way, you'll stumble upon the legendary Puig Major climb and the jaw-dropping curves of Sa Calobra road.

You could technically blast through the drive in about 2 hours, but honestly, why would you? Plan a full day instead. The road hugs the Tramuntana range with relentless hairpin turns, tunnels, and mountain passes that reward you with unbelievable views at every bend. Picture turquoise Mediterranean waters, honey-colored stone villages that look like they've sprung from a storybook, and frequent viewpoints complete with remnants of old pirate-watchtowers. Throw in a couple of reservoirs and natural lookouts for good measure.

Built back in 1961, this road definitely keeps you on your toes. Expect hairpin turns aplenty, tunnels, and rocky terrain. Fair warning: watch out for the occasional goat, and be extra cautious when the road's wet. Summer traffic can get intense, and speeds are capped at 60 km/h (recent enforcement has handed out plenty of fines). This is one Mallorcan adventure you won't forget.
