Map – The Great Cycle Tour of Mallorca

Itinerary

Day 1

Individual arrival in Playa de Palma

Welcome to Mallorca! You start your cycle tour on Mallorca in Playa de Palma, a district of Palma. Located not far from the island's capital Palma de Mallorca, the beach of the same name is the most famous on the island. After arriving at your hotel, treat yourself to a refreshing dip in the sea or a long walk along the beach.

Day 2

Playa de Palma – Colònia Sant Jordi

approx. 55 km

A personal information meeting will take place in the morning at your first hotel. If you have booked a rental bike, you will also receive it at this time. Off you go! You cycle not far from the coast to the prehistoric settlement of Capocorb Vell. With the typical Mallorcan windmills in view, you reach the salt pans around Colònia Sant Jordi, your destination for today. It is worth making a detour to the nearby Es Trenc beach. It is considered one of the most beautiful beaches on the island.

Day 3

Colònia Sant Jordi – Porto Cristo

approx. 55 - 65 km

On today's stage of your cycle tour on Mallorca, you will cycle not far from the coast to Cala Santanyi. Enjoy relaxing moments on the beach in the town's bay before continuing northwards. You have reached your destination for the day in the coastal town of Porto Cristo. The Coves del Drac are located not far from the town centre. The well-developed dragon caves take you on a journey into the world of stalactites and stalagmites and underground lakes. Lake Martel is one of the largest underground lakes in the world.

Day 4

Excursion to Artà

approx. 55 km

Firstly via the typical island villages of Son Carrió and Sant Llorenc, with the 13th century church of Santa Maria del Bellver, through the picturesque hinterland of the island. Beautifully laid out paths lead to Artà. Numerous alleyways lead up the hill on which the small town was built. From the pilgrimage church of Sant Salvador, you can enjoy
a unique panoramic view of the surrounding coast, the hilly landscape, the almond plantations and olive groves. Cycle back along a disused railway line to Son Servera and on to the coast.

Day 5

Porto Cristo – C’an Picafort

approx. 60 km

Your cycle tour on Mallorca takes you to the north-east of the island today. You will reach Manacor via the tranquil Son Carrió. The town is famous for the production of Majorica pearls. These are produced artificially and are difficult to distinguish from real mother-of-pearl pearls. A stopover in Petra is worthwhile, especially as a typical "Mallorcan lunch snack" awaits you here. The birthplace of the town's most famous son, Junípero Serra, is now home to a museum that traces the history of the founder of San Francisco. In C'an Picafort you are back by the sea. Visit the white beaches along the coast and experience relaxing moments with a view of the bay of Alcúdia.

 

Day 6

C'an Picafort – Port de Sóller

approx. 45 km + bus transfer

From the sea, you first cycle inland via the small town of Muro to Inca. Situated at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains, the town is known as the leather capital of Mallorca. From Inca, a bus (included) will take you to Lluc Monastery. A visit to this important place of pilgrimage is possible. The transfer takes you up to 1200 metres. Back on the bike, you cycle down to Fornalutx. It is considered one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Accompanied by orange and lemon plantations, you cycle to Port de Sóller, your destination for today's stage.

Day 7

Port de Sóller – Playa de Palma

approx. 55 km

Today is the last stage of your cycle tour on Mallorca. Catch one last marvellous view over the sea. Cycle past the picturesque villages of Deia and Valldemossa to reach Palma de Mallorca.

Back on your bike, cycle along the white sandy beach to Playa de Palma.
