The Mirador Penya del Migdia is a high-altitude coastal viewpoint located on the Victoria Peninsula in Alcúdia, Mallorca. It sits at an elevation of approximately 350 meters, overlooking the Bay of Alcúdia and the Bay of Pollença. The site is accessible via a steep, rugged hiking trail that requires moderate physical fitness. Ruins of an old military watchtower are present near the lookout point, which historically served to guard the northern Mallorcan coastline. The surrounding terrain is dominated by limestone karsts and Mediterranean scrubland. Visibility from the peak extends to the Serra de Tramuntana mountains in clear weather. The trail integrates into the wider network of paths leading through the Ermita de la Victoria area.

Wear sturdy, closed-toe hiking boots as the limestone trail is uneven and slippery.
Bring at least 1.5 liters of water per person, as there are no natural water sources or facilities along the route.
Check local wind forecasts before heading up, as the ridge is highly exposed and can become hazardous during gale-force winds.
Do not attempt this hike in flip-flops or during periods of high wind or heavy rain.
Carry out all waste; stay on marked paths to protect the sensitive flora.
