280 kilometre cycle tour around Mallorca

Not only the top professional teams train on Mallorca, holiday cyclists will also find a variety of easy routes and designated cycle paths - all over the island. Although most people start their day trips from a fixed location, especially from Alcudia in the north or from El Arenal near Palma, why not explore the island from place to place by bike? In this way, you can slowly feel your way through the great scenic and cultural diversity of Mallorca. Leave the Ballermann behind you on the first day and head south and east. Small bays and beautiful sandy beaches await you there, where it is not teeming with holidaymakers everywhere. The largest botanical garden in Europe is worth a stop at Ses Salines. It is also interesting to visit the salt extraction facilities there. The route also leads to Roman ruins, old monasteries and picturesque mountain villages. A bus transfer is offered to the heights of the Tramuntana mountains. The entire island tour runs mostly on tarmac country lanes and low-traffic country roads. These are easy to moderately difficult cycle tours in hilly to mountainous terrain.
