Sa Calobra
Sa Calobra is a small village in the Escorca municipality on the northwest coast of the Spanish Balearic island of Majorca. The port village is a popular destination for coach trips and road cyclists and is accessible by a single winding road, designed by Italian engineer Antonio Parietti, which features many hairpin bends and a spiral bridge.[1] The climb is officially the Coll del Reis or the Col de Cal Reis, though it is often referred to by the name of the village at its base.[2]
