Majorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, is an ideal destination for cycling enthusiasts. The island offers an incredible diversity of landscapes, combining golden beaches, rugged mountains, picturesque villages and verdant valleys.

Your journey may begin on the coast, where winding roads lined with crystal-clear coves lead you from charming fishing ports to sandy beaches. You'll discover emblematic places like Palma, with its majestic cathedral, or Porto Cristo, the ideal starting point for exploring the famous Drach caves.

In the heart of the island, you'll pedal across agricultural plains dotted with orange and lemon orchards, discovering rural traditions still alive and well. Stone villages such as Valldemossa and Sóller offer a well-deserved break, where you can sample local specialities while admiring breathtaking panoramas.
