Details about the Majorca Loop cycle tour
Your cycling tour starts in Playa de Palma. About 270 cycling kilometres lie ahead in the eight days. But don't worry: there is enough time for breaks and relaxation. Whether you prefer cooling off in the glistening Mediterranean, taking a nap on the beach or strolling through the picturesque towns - unspoilt Majorca is at your doorstep.
But that is not everything! Because what would a holiday on the Balearic Islands be without enjoyment and culinary delights? The thought of real Spanish cuisine makes your mouth water. Paella grilled vegetables and fine wines. Where? On the coasts of the sea with a beautiful sunset and in the nice towns inland.
The highlights of the Majorca cycling holiday at a glance
"Es Trenc": Already on the first stage you reach the most beautiful white sandy beach of Mallorca "Es Trenc". On the way to Colonia Sant Jordi, picturesque coves and sandy beaches with turquoise blue waters await discovery.
Coves del Drac: The famous Dragon Caves are located in the Majorcan town of Porto Cristo. The special thing about it is: deep in the cave is the largest underground lake in Europe.

Worth knowing about the bike tour around Majorca
On this eight-day bike tour, you will cycle between 50 and 65 kilometres per day. The tour is considered easy to moderate. After the manageable climbs, there are usually beautiful descents, where you can catch your breath.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
