Formentor gridlock: Why the peninsula explodes early and what must be done now

Answer

Why does traffic at Cap de Formentor get bad so early in the season?

Traffic on the road to Cap de Formentor has been getting heavy already in spring because visitor numbers rise earlier than before. Cycling events and day trips add pressure to a road that is already narrow, winding and difficult to manage when cars, buses, cyclists and pedestrians mix. The result is often congestion well before the main summer peak.
