Crikey, I would not like to be on a bus going round those corners!! Reminds me of The Italian Job all over again!!

Looks good fun in a decent car though!!

Is that the road into/out of Soller (?) on the west of the island - if so I've been up and down it. Great fun it was, in hire car, although the g/f felt sick on the way up and the brakes were smoking like crazy on the way down......................

Yep ive been down it in an XR3i cab hire car about 5 years ago there wasnt much left of the hand break at the end of it.
The only thing at the end of the road is a small beach and some cafe's
This is the hire car

I too drove down this road 2 weeks ago. I daren't tell you what I was in though

The road is called 'Sa Colabra' (the Snake) and goes down to a small harbour on the North coast of the Island

Awesome piece of road and it's just been resurfaced. I believe the Historic Rally is going to use it next year but only uphill. Apparently it climbs nearly 3000 feet from sea level

You should try the Furka pass in Switzerland. That's hairy.

It's where the Italian job was filmed.
