Cycling on Mallorca? Five bike routes to discover

Cycling on Mallorca? Five bike routes to discover

Do you like cycling? Then Mallorca is the destination. The island has no less than 1250 kilometres of cycle paths.

Through flat landscapes with orange groves and olive groves and through hilly and even mountainous areas with tough climbs and challenging descents. So it’s very varied. This makes Mallorca an interesting cycling island for all ages: from touring cyclists to fanatic cyclists. And from 8 to 80. Especially now that the electric bike is an option.

For a number of years we have been giving the five-day training Retirement in sight on Mallorca. So we know the island well. Recently we expanded our offer with the training Retirement in Sight Cycling on Mallorca. During this training the participants look back together on their working lives and look ahead to their new phase of life. In inspiring sessions, participants gain the insights they need to design their new lives. During these five days we alternate these sessions with beautiful bike rides on the island. We have selected these tours carefully. They are therefore also suitable for older cyclists. Participants in our training will receive an e-bike. If you are an experienced cyclist, you might also want to use a regular sports bike with gears.

Platja The Palma

Platja de Palma is the Mallorcan name for Playa de Palma. It is a 4 kilometer long beach on the south side of the island. In this area there are mainly flat cycling routes with sometimes some hills. There is a 20 kilometer long cycle path along the coast between the capital Palma de Mallorca and the coastal village of El Arenal.
