Palma – Puig Mayor and Sa Calobra (tough ride)

Cycling route in

  This route includes the two toughest climbs in Mallorca: Puig Mayor and Sa Calobra. You can skip the latter if you are not up to it.   The first 20 km of the route is warm up to the first ascent over the mountain towards Soller. This is a beautiful climb and equally beautiful descent towards Soller, where you can buy provisions before embarking on the ascent towards the highest mountain in Mallorca: Puig Mayor.   Prearrange to meet up after approximately 14 km where you reach a photo spot just before the tunnel. From here the route continues along the mountain ridge before the descent towards Sa Calobra where you can familiarize yourself with the road curves before the uphill climb. Buy provisions (water/energy bars) in Sa Calobra before the tough ascent which resembles Alpe d’Huez in climb and character.   After the ascent to the top of the mountain ridge you continue towards Lluch and begin the descent after the petrol station situated just after you meet the road leading to Pollenca (you do not take this road).   Provisions: There is a petrol station at Bunyola before the climb, shops in Soller (slightly inconvenient, but may be necessary), a restaurant/kiosk in Sa Calobra and a petrol station with cafeteria just before you go downhill towards Selva.   Enjoy the ride!

Palma - The Scenic West Coast

Cycling route in

Palma – the beautiful west coast This route takes you along the west coast following the beautiful mountain ridge and passing through pretty villages, giving you plenty of vertical metres spread out over many kilometres. Start by riding in a group through Palma and follow the main road along the harbour for 3 km before starting the mountainous ascent towards Valldemossa, Deia and the Soller Valley. Following a beautiful ride over the mountain peak – cars are lead through a tunnel – you head back towards Palma.   This is a long ride with several opportune pit stops along the way. There is plenty of variation and diversity along the route making it a good experience and perfect for training.   Provisions: There is a number of possibilities in the small villages along the route. You can stop for lunch in Deia or – if you can wait that long – Soller; pick a restaurant on the village square.
