The island
We invite you to rediscover Mallorca.
Mallorca is the largest island of the Balearic Islands and Spain’s largest island, too. It is located in the western Mediterranean about 170 km from the Spanish mainland near Barcelona and is the most important tourist destination in Spain.
In the 70s, mass tourism and the subsequent construction boom changed the image of the charming island in some places. Fortunately, Mallorca’s government has counteracted the overexploitation of nature and preserved much of Mallorca's original beauty.
More and more visitors discover beyond the busy beaches the “other Mallorca”: windmills and fincas, pine and holm-oak forests, rugged mountain ranges and hidden, picturesque bays.
Among cyclists the island is no longer an insider’s tip — it has become a real cyclist’s paradise. A favourable climate, varied topography and excellent cycling infrastructure make Mallorca popular in spring and autumn with professionals and hobby riders alike.

The Serra de Tramuntana is the main mountain range, from Cap Formentor in the northeast to Dragonera in the southwest, with several peaks over 1,000 m. The highest is Puig Major (1,443 m) north of Sóller. Parallel to the range, lower coastal mountains form wild rocky bays and typical karst with sparse vegetation.
To the east lies the Serra de Llevant with limestone plateaus, few of them over 500 m. The highest is Puig de Son Morei (561 m) near Artà. The eastern coastal plains have numerous small bays — the calas — ideal for swimming and boating.
Between the two ranges is a wide, fertile plain, the Llanura del Centro, historically Mallorca’s most important farmland. The only notable rise is the table mountain of Randa (542 m) between Algaida and Llucmajor, with its three monasteries.

Quiet country lanes and forest tracks link the small inland villages, where you can discover Mallorca’s culture and hospitality.
Hotels are set up for cyclists: lockable bike rooms, wash areas, often a rental and workshop on site, maps, weekly ride programmes and weather updates. Buffets usually include extra vitamins and carbohydrates, and many hotels have a spa to finish the day.
No other European destination is as well connected by air. Charter and low-cost airlines offer frequent flights at good prices. Bike transport is possible, usually with a fee and limits. On the island, transfer companies are used to carrying sports equipment.
