Overview

Discover the beautiful island of Mallorca with its incredible beaches and the vegetation all around it while pedaling through it and getting to know the different places in the island. While cycling along the coast you will discover the wonderful roads passing through the different small villages and also taste the varied local gastronomy.

With superb biking routes, dramatic scenery and great weather on an idyllic island in the Mediterranean Sea, it is no wonder that Mallorca is referred to as a cyclist’s paradise. This is the place where pro-riders and amateur enthusiasts come to from all over Europe and the world to train during the winter and spring time and there is no doubt about its irresistible allure.

Mallorca is the largest of the Balearic Islands, beating the other small islands including Ibiza and Menorca, with all their attractions: paradisiacal beaches, secret coves and sun all year round. But Mallorca has it all, sun, beach and of course mountains. It has the Sierra de Tramuntana mountain range, protected by UNESCO, and is located in the northwest of the island of Mallorca. There’s enough of each that you can have a day on the plain, or a day purely in the mountains yet, they are also arranged so close together that you can mix all three in one day if you wish. It is therefore no wonder that Mallorca is referred to as a cyclist’s paradise.

Apart from the coastal towns, the trip cannot end without visiting the capital: Palma and all its charms such as its cathedral, an imposing Gothic monument from the 13th century that dominates the horizon of the bay of Palma.

We can guarantee that you will not fail to be impressed by this idyllic Mediterranean isle.

Sheer limestone cliff faces reach down to the turquoise sea. Weaving through the craggy lunar landscape, a feat of engineering and a work of art: a looping grey squiggle of silver tarmac that entices cyclists from across the globe.
