Cap de Barbaria is the island's southernmost point, and it feels like the end of the world in the best way. The road south from Sant Francesc runs across flat scrubland — low rosemary, dwarf fan palms, a few stone walls — before arriving at the lighthouse and the cliffs that drop straight into the sea. The Torre des Garroveret, a round stone watchtower built in the 18th century to spot Barbary pirate raids (the cape took its name from those raids), stands a few minutes' walk from the lighthouse and gives context to the island's historically exposed position.
The light here at dusk is exceptional, and the cape gets enough of a sea breeze to make it comfortable even in August. There are no bars, no facilities, no shade — bring water and expect nothing but views. The cliffs are not fenced; take appropriate care near the edges. It is worth combining a Cap de Barbaria visit with the drive through the interior, which passes some of the island's oldest farmhouses and drystone field boundaries, a landscape that has changed very little in centuries.
