mallorca-rad-rundreise

On this round trip around the whole island you will discover the coast with dreamy bays and the charm of Mallorca away from the lush nightlife. In the hills in the interior of the island, the wheels of the windmills turn almost inaudibly, and the chirping of cicadas can be heard in the grass.
It is partly hilly on this bike tour, some descents and climbs await you. Coast and inland each have their own charms, you will get to know both. In the dragon caves near Porto Cristo, experience what imaginative, sometimes bizarre architecture nature tends to. Your sense of romance will be indulged in picturesque fishing villages and shimmering salt lakes. And of course you will get many an opportunity to swim.

Highlights of this bike tour

• The pink and white salt lakes of Sant Jordi
• Magnificent coastal landscapes
• Fantastic views in the Tramuntana mountains
• The capital Palma

Detailed information:  If you arrive in February, experience the enchanting almond blossom!
We reserve the right to make changes to the itinerary (especially on the first two cycling stages) because the hotels in February and March are still closed!
