Cycling holidays on Mallorca for individualists

Bienvenido a mallorca! Your cycling holidays starts in Palma, the capital of Mallorca. Explore the old town, which is characterized by winding alleyways and impressive buildings. A very special highlight of Palma is the mighty cathedral not far from the harbor. Popularly known as Le Seu , the building impresses from afar with its imposing appearance. A personal information meeting will take place at your starting hotel in the evening. If you have booked a rental bike, you will also receive it at this time.

The first stage of your cycling holidays on Mallorca takes you to the sea at Playa de Palma, Palma's 4.5-kilometre-long beach. Not far from the coast, you first cycle to the prehistoric settlement of Capocorb Vell. Accompanied by typical Mallorcan windmills, you reach the salt pans - used for sea salt production - around Colònia Sant Jordi, your destination for today. Take a detour to the nearby beach Es Trenc. White sand and turquoise sea, framed by a flat dune landscape, make it one of the most beautiful beaches in Mallorca.

Before heading inland, it is worth making a stopover in the picturesque bay of Cala Santanyi. A quick dip in the cool water will refresh you for the slight climb ahead. Felanitx is the perfect place for another break. Situated at the foot of the Serres de Llevant, the town lies in the middle of Mallorca's second largest wine-growing region. You will spend the night in Porreres, just a few kilometers away. The town is known for its apricot cultivation. Try the sun-kissed fruits, which are a culinary delight when halved and dried.

Windmills have a long tradition on Mallorca. They were once used to grind grain, press olives and irrigate the fields and are now considered a symbol of Mallorca. Get to know some particularly beautiful examples on today's excursion during your cycling vacation on Mallorca. The route takes you to Campos, which is home to several hundred old and restored windmills. Enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of the idyllic village of Campos before heading back to Porreres.

On today's stage of your cycling holidays on Mallorca, you will return to the sea. First you cycle to Petra. The city's most famous son is the missionary Junípero Serra. The monk's birthplace houses a museum that traces his long journey to the USA, where he founded the city of San Francisco, among other things. Following the cycle path, you cycle through the granary of Mallorca, Es Pla. Lined by extensive fields, you cycle to Playa del Muro. Treat yourself to a longer stay on the fine sandy white beach before you reach your destination for the day, Alcúdia.

Accompanied by almond and lemon trees, you first cycle along the Tramuntana mountains. The mountain range in the northwest of Mallorca impresses with its wild, partly untouched landscape and peaks up to 1445 meters high. In Inca, the leather capital of the island, a transfer (included) takes you to Lluc Monastery. It is considered the spiritual center of Mallorca. The transfer takes you further up to 1200 meters. Back on the bike, you cycle down to Fornalutx. Often described as the most beautiful village in Spain, the townscape is characterized by ochre-coloured sandstone houses with typical shutters. You have reached today's stage destination in Port de Sóller.

On the last stage of your cycling holiday on Mallorca, you can once again enjoy breathtaking views over the sea. Cycle along the rugged west coast with its magnificent landscape past the picturesque villages of Deia and Valldemossa to Palma de Mallorca. Take another leisurely stroll through the magnificent alleyways and enjoy the flair of the island's capital.
