Overview
Enjoy coastal and inland cycle routes across this enchanting island
Mallorca (also known as Majorca) has long been an island synonymous with sun,
sea and sand, but many forget the treasures hidden away in the lesser known
parts of the island. This relaxed itinerary features relatively easy cycling
taking in the highlights of both the quiet coastal areas and the foothills of
the beautiful inland Tramuntana mountain range. The hotels we use are small
and family run, and the homemade cooking and local Mallorquin wines are a
delightful welcome after a days cycling!
Highlights
* Easy cycling taking in coastal trails, beaches, and the foothills of the
Tramuntana mountains
