The Best Road Cycling Routes in Mallorca

This route is a true classic and rides beautifully in both directions. You can start from Pollença or from Alcúdia and it works just as well either way. The opening section rolls through quiet roads and calm countryside. You pass through sa Pobla before reaching the base of the climb near Caimari. The ascent is a joy, with beautiful hairpin corners and smooth tarmac. Much of the road is shaded by trees, which keeps the climb comfortable even on warmer days. From the top, you are rewarded with a long and flowing descent all the way back to town.

Two classic climbs come together in this longer ride. Head out through the inland roads of Mallorca and tackle Coll d’Orient and Coll de Sóller from Bunyola. Plan a coffee or lunch stop near Sóller before taking on Puig Major. From the top, it is mostly downhill all the way back to Port de Pollença.

This route heads inland from Palma to the highlight of the day, the climb up to Cura Sanctuary. The climb is not too hard, and the views from the top are well worth the effort. Take some time to sit back, enjoy the scenery, and relax with a coffee or lunch. From there, roll back toward the city along the coast.

This route from Port d'Alcudia heads south toward two of the climbs found in the interior of the island, Puig de Sant Salvador and Randa. Both hilltops are home to religious sites you can visit, and both reward the effort with incredible views across the island when the skies are clear.

The original route for the Mallorca 312 Gran Fondo. Take on the challenge during the yearly event end of April or ride this epic ride on your own terms.
