Monte Toro:
This is the highest point of the island from which the views across the whole island are spectacular. From here, given the right conditions, you can also see the Tramontana mountain range on Majorca! A monastery (The Sanctuary of Our Lady) is at the top of Monte Toro which tourists can also visit.
