Mallorca Cycle Routes
Medium to Long Tours
A collection of medium to long cycling tours covering the whole of Mallorca, combining countryside and mountain tours so that difficult climbs are compensated by long distances on flat ground.
The stages can easily be modified to conform to the capacities of the riders, with the possibility of adjusting distances for each tour or each group. These routes are mainly off heavily trafficked roads to ensure maximum safety.
These routes are brought to you courtesy of the Mallorca Cycling organisation.
