Alcudia - Puig Mayor (kongeetapen)

Starting in Alcudia the challenge of this route is the climb from Soller towards Puig Major.

You start out following the minor roads leading south through beautiful landscape. After approximately 55 km the route takes you over the first mountain which has an ascent of 500 metres. Cars are lead through a tunnel, and therefore the road is scarcely trafficked. Once you arrive in Soller, you can buy provisions or have lunch at one of the restaurants in the town square. Please note that only bakeries are open on Sundays; all other shops are closed.

From Soller the ascent continues over the next 14 kilometres with a tough gradient of 6 %. Prearrange to meet at the photo spot before the first tunnel.

From here you follow the mountain ridge towards Lluch and can enjoy the long blissful descent to Pollenca.

 

Water/provisions:

Bring two water bottles and use one en route to Bunyola and one during the following ascent.

Buy water in Soller, so you have one bottle for the climb and one for the final descent.

Bring an energy bar or have lunch in Soller.

 

Enjoy the ride!
