The measure will be applied from June to September thanks to an agreement between the Town Hall and the company that owns the car park. The ‘pollencins’ will have to prove that they are registered at the exit of the car park.

Pollença residents will not have to pay to use the Formentor car park during the summer. Exists a legal dispute between the Pollença Town Hall and Inmobiliaria Formentor regarding the ownership of the car park. Despite this, the two parties have agreed that from the 1st of June until the 30th of September residents of the municipality will not have to pay to park. To access the free parking, the ‘pollencins’ will have to prove that they are registered in Pollença when they leave the car park.

On the other hand, from the 1st of June until the 30th of September the barriers will open automatically. It will be as long as there are spaces available in the Formentor car park, and also for all those vehicles that have authorisation.

The Consell de Mallorca’s Department of Mobility and Infrastructures, in coordination with the Directorate General of Traffic, has announced that the measures to control vehicle access to the Formentor peninsula will begin on the 1st of June and will continue until the 30th of September, both included; an extension of dates with respect to previous years, in order to adapt to a longer high season and the increase in vehicles.

During this period, access to the Formentor peninsula from Ma-22210 will be restricted from 10 a.m. to 10.30 p.m. at night. This timetable was extended last summer to avoid the uncivic behaviour that occurred two years ago, when the measure was extended to 19:00.

Bus service

Transports de les Illes Balears (TIB) will offer a bus service to facilitate access to the entire restricted zone.

Line 334, which runs along the Alcúdia – Puerto de Pollença – Faro de Formentor route, has stops at Mirador d’Es Colomer, Formentor beach, Cala Figuera-Cala Murta and the Formentor lighthouse.

In this sense, those arriving by car in Port de Pollença are recommended to park along the ring road where there are three bus stops to go up to Formentor: Port de Pollença, Bóquer and Can Singala.
