MALLORCA
Mallorca is truly the cycling isle. Offering jaw dropping and astounding views across the Tramuntana mountain range, experienced cyclists will climb and descend the hallowed tarmac of Sa Calobra, Puig Major and Cap Formentor. From Port Pollensa, the Tramuntana’s formidable limestone spires offer the ultimate cycling holiday. For those looking to immerse themselves in the rural flatlands, you can ride through almond blossoms falling on the meadows, through sleepy villages peppered with orange groves, whilst spending your nights staying in fincas (converted barn houses and traditional stone buildings). You can travel to Mallorca with confidence that the weather will be sunny for the majority of the year. Autumn and Spring are the most popular seasons as the temperature is cool but the sun is still present however, you will still find excellent riding in the summer and winter so long as you have weather dependant clothing and equipment with you. From Mallorca’s turquoise coastlines to its famous climbs, this stunning Balearic island never fails to seduce.

The Best Cycling Holidays in Mallorca For Families
Mallorca is the perfect cycling destination for families, seasoned riders, newcomers and everyone in between. The famous mountains in the north offer a challenge for families with experienced riders whilst the south coast provides flatter routes and is made up of peaceful countryside, beautiful coastal roads and unexplored beaches. For adventurous, cycling mad families, we recommend going on our Port Pollensa Cycling Holiday. From here you can tackle the mountains and race your family members up the ascents. However, if you’re looking for a relaxing cycling holiday with sun and beaches then the south of Mallorca is perfectly suited to you. Our Southern Beaches of Mallorca trip guides you through quiet finca towns, beautiful coastal cycling paths and with fully flexible routes, you can choose how much or little you want to cycle depending on the requirements of each family member.
