Cycling day trip from Escorca to Pollença

If you’re up for a scenic ride in Mallorca, this route from Escorca to Pollença is a real treat—though be ready for a good workout on the way! Kicking off in Escorca, you’ll start high up in the Tramuntana mountains, where rugged cliffs and winding roads set the scene (don't miss the nearby Lluc Monastery if you have time).

You’ll be riding mostly on paved or asphalt roads, many of them delightfully quiet. There’s a decent amount of climbing at the beginning, so pace yourself, but there are also some exhilarating descents as you wind your way down nearly 1,500 meters towards the coast. The route is about 33 kilometers and passes through some pristine, wild landscapes.

The ride ends in the charming town of Pollença, famous for its historic old town, Sunday market, and the 365 Calvari steps (if your legs can handle even more climbing!). All in all, it’s a spectacular slice of Mallorca with rewarding views and some great photo ops along the way. Don’t forget your camera and plenty of water!
