Majorca Loop

The popular island with unknown surprises

Escape the wild parties and crowded beaches as you embark on a unique adventure through the enchanting island of Majorca. Discover dreamy coves, unspoiled beaches, and charming fishing villages that remain untouched by the tourist crowds. Explore Spain's most popular holiday island from the saddle of your bike and experience it in a truly special way.

If you're someone who relishes the soothing sounds of the sea, the gentle caress of the breeze, and the sun-kissed warmth of the south, then Majorca's cycling paths are the perfect destination for you. This bike tour offers a rich blend of culture, physical activity, and enjoyment.

As you stand on steep cliffs overlooking serene bays, you'll feel Majorca's charm far removed from its bustling nightlife. Majorca has a softer side, where windmills quietly turn on the hillsides, and cicadas serenade you in the grassy meadows.

This tour presents a journey of ups and downs, mirroring the island's turbulent 2,000-year history. Both the coastal and inland regions possess their unique allure, and you'll have the pleasure of experiencing each one. Explore the Dragon Caves of Porto Cristo to witness the creativity and whimsy of nature's architecture.

The picturesque fishing villages and glistening salt lakes will rekindle your sense of romance. And, of course, ample opportunities for swimming and sunbathing await you without the need to reserve a beach chair hours in advance. "La Luminosa – The Enlightened One" – this is how the Spaniards affectionately refer to Majorca.

Details about the Majorca Loop cycle tour

This tour promises versatility at its finest – from swimming at the pristine sandy beaches like the renowned Es Trenc to exploring the captivating Dragon Caves of Porto Cristo and savoring the pure pleasure of Majorcan delicacies in the charming restaurants of Fornalutx.

Your cycling adventure commences in Playa de Palma, and over the course of eight days, you'll cover approximately 270 cycling kilometres. But rest assured, there's ample time for breaks and relaxation. Whether you fancy a refreshing dip in the sparkling Mediterranean, a leisurely nap on the beach, or a stroll through picturesque towns, unspoiled Majorca is yours to enjoy.

After all, what would a holiday in the Balearic Islands be without the joys of culinary indulgence? The mere thought of authentic Spanish cuisine will make your mouth water. Imagine savouring paella, grilled vegetables, and fine wines against the backdrop of a breathtaking seaside sunset or in charming inland towns. Majorca invites you to feast on these culinary delights as part of your unforgettable experience.

Itinerary

Make your own trip to Mallorca / Playa de Palma.

Welcome meeting and tour information. The first leg takes you along the coast to Capocorp Vell, the realm of the Cyclopes (remains of indigenous houses from prehistoric times). Typical windmills line the road to Llevant's salt fields with its pink and white shimmering salt lakes. The almost white sandy beach "Es Trenc" is considered the most beautiful in Mallorca. In Sant Jordi, more beaches with crystal clear waters await you.

ca. 55 km

Via Ses Salines you first go to the botanical garden. Be sure to visit the picturesque bay of Cala Santanyi. Via small fishing villages it goes to the famous natural bridge "Es Pontas". In Porto Cristo, the dragon caves are filled with bizarre images and shapes. A tour here is definitely worth it.

ca. 55-65 km

Via the sleepy village of Son Carrio to Manacor. Here factories make the famous Majorica artificial pearls. Many shops sell souvenirs and utensils made of handmade ceramics. Via Petra (a typical "Mallorcan lunch snack" is waiting for you here) and Santa Margalida you will go through one of the most enchanting landscapes of the island to C'an Picafort. Even today it is again sandy beaches that line the sea.

ca. 60 km

Don't pack your bags for a while because you will stay another night in C'an Picafort. The bike ride takes you through a bird park (S'Albufera nature reserve) to the Bay of Pollenca (Roman harbour). Cycle via the coastal path to Alcúdia (the oldest town on the island) and back to C'an Picafort.

ca. 40 km

Through the interior via Muro and Inca to the mountainous landscape of the Sierra de Tramuntana. Bus transfer to the monastery of Lluc (visit possible) and further up to 1200 m above sea level, past the large reservoirs, the water reservoir of Mallorca. The descent by bike leads to Fornalutx ("most beautiful village in Spain"); usually, you can enjoy an excellent paella menu (included) in a cosy restaurant with a terrace. Via orange and lemon plantations you will cycle to Port de Sóller, one of the most attractive fishing villages on the island.

ca. 50 km

First, take the old tram (not included) from the bay to the town of Soller. From there you can take the nostalgic train through the hairpin bends and then through the valley of the oranges ("Do not pick while driving") to the capital Palma. Our city guide will be waiting for you at the station for a tour of the beautiful old town. Then you will cycle again: via the boulevard and the beach along Playa de Palma to your hotel.

ca. 10 km

Route information

The stages range from easy to challenging. Some ascents are followed by picturesque descents, and the Tramuntana mountains are crossed using buses. Cycling primarily takes place on cycle paths, service roads, and mostly paved agricultural roads, all designed to minimise interaction with other traffic.
