Limited access: es Cap de Barbaria
Additional controls in effect tomorrow to 15 October will limit access to sa Tanca d’Allà Dins in es Cap de Barbaria.    

In 2017, a barrier went up at kilometre 6.5 of the north-south highway in an effort to preserve the ecological integrity of the area, facilitate access to the nearby lighthouse and es Garroveret defence tower and deliver an improved visitor experience.

A car park near the barrier accomodates 60 cars and 100 scooters, so visitors can leave their vehicle and proceed to the lighthouse on foot or bicycle.

Accessbility
During peak hours, 11.00am to 1.00pm and 6.00pm to 10.00pm, a guardian stationed at the barrier will ensure access for individuals with reduced mobility.
