2. Mountain, Inland planes & coastal roads on the same day!
Make the most of your stay in Mallorca by practicing a sport that takes
advantage of a large road network ideal for cycling. The sport is enjoying a
boom, and there is large number of cyclists on the roads.
Mallorca has 1,250 kilometres of roads, of which 700 kilometres belong to
second-class roads that go across different areas of the island, both mountains
and plains. It is a road network that connects the different towns from one coast
to another. The west coast of the island has a 100-kilometre long mountain
range: Sa Tramuntana, being its peak the mountain called Es Puig Major
(1.442m). The inland is flat, and on the Northeast we find a smaller mountain
range: Serra dÁrtà.
Cycling for professionals and amateurs
The roads of Mallorca have left a great impression on many professional cyclists
that have visited the island. Professional cycling teams, mainly European, come
to Mallorca to train and prepare for the tough season ahead. Mallorca offers
the perfect conditions. Professionals usually come to train in winter.
In fact, apart from the climate and the landscape, another great advantage is
that the public administration has done everything possible to make the roads
suitable for cyclists by improving and signposting them. There are many hotels
offering massage service, bicycle repair and special menus for sportspeople
along the cycling routes.
In addition, amateur teams and cyclists come to Mallorca from February to
May. They all agree that Mallorca is full of beautiful country roads that cross
charming towns and municipalities. Cyclists can experience the culture,
traditions and gastronomy. In the past years, the number of cyclists arriving to
Mallorca has increased. 40,000 cyclists already practice this sport on the island.
