Majorca Cycling Holidays

With its diverse terrain, breathtaking landscapes, and cycling-friendly infrastructure, Majorca has earned its reputation as a premier destination for enthusiasts of two-wheeled exploration.

Mallorca cycling holidays have a long list of virtues. Enthusiasts can embark on a diverse cycling journey, exploring coastal routes, quaint rural villages, and the awe-inspiring Tramuntana mountains before enjoying a refreshing swim in C'an Picafort's turquoise waters. However, not only is the scenery magnificent, but the year-round warm weather, smooth tarmac, consistent gradients, testing but doable ascents, and flatter options make it one of the most desirable locations in the world for a cycling holiday.

Highlight of Majorca

Selecting a single standout feature from Spain's cycling paradise is a formidable task. Yet, little can rival the invigorating thrill of pedalling beneath the magnificent Serra de Tramuntana, before indulging in a refreshing swim in C'an Picafort's inviting turquoise waters.

Enjoy Majorca's Cuisine

One of the main attractions of Majorca is its local cuisine. Majorca's culinary scene is a delectable fusion of Mediterranean flavours and local traditions. From freshly caught seafood to hearty mountain cuisine, the island offers a diverse array of dishes that tantalise the taste buds. Indulge in "paella" – a saffron-infused rice dish often paired with seafood – or savour the simplicity of "sobrasada," a spicy cured sausage. "Ensaimada," a sweet pastry, is a beloved treat, while "tumbet" showcases layers of vegetables and potatoes. Also, after a long days cycling you won't want to miss the chance to enjoy a glass of local wine or "hierbas," an herbal liqueur unique to Majorca.

Relax in Majorca's Local Towns

Having pedalled across the island, a great way to unwind in the evening could be to immerse yourself in Majorcan culture with a stroll through the local towns and villages. The picturesque villages boast charming stone houses adorned with colourful shutters, reflecting a unique architectural style. Local markets showcase artisan crafts, while festivals like "Fiestas de San Juan" involve bonfires and beach celebrations.
