CYCLING

Mallorca is a paradise for lovers of amateur and professional cycling. A good climate, a varied orography and the large number of cycling routes have become the main reasons why every year thousands of bicycle lovers decide to pedal around the island.

The best conditions come in spring and autumn, when the weather is milder and the roads are dry and empty of cars.

The island's repertoire is wide and surprising. There are routes for all tastes: extreme, with mountains that are over 1,400 meters high, hard climbs, dizzying descents, and quieter routes: kilometers of plains and impressive coastal and inland paths that connect the beautiful villages of the island.

If you plan to spend a holiday in Puerto Pollensa with your bike, you cannot miss the best routes in the area.

Round trip length: 52 km Maximum elevation: 690 m

A somewhat demanding but beautiful route, for those who are fit, that will take you from Puerto Pollensa to the Lluc Monastery, in the heart of the Serra Tramontana and back to Puerto Pollensa.
