- Classic climbs: the road to Sa Calobra climbs about 9.5 km at an average of around 7%, and the Coll de Femenia takes you from Pollensa up towards Lluc in the heart of the Tramuntana.
- Coastal rides: the road from Puerto Pollensa to the Formentor lighthouse is around 20 km each way, with some of the best views on the island.
- Flat training: the plains around Alcudia, Muro and Sa Pobla are perfect for recovery rides and long, steady kilometres.
- Season: from February to May and again from September to November the weather is mild and the roads are quiet. Many professional teams hold their winter training camps on the island.
The north of the island is a classic cycling base: from Pollensa and Alcudia you can reach the mountains, the coast and the plains straight from your villa. Read our guide to cycling in Mallorca.
