… pearl of the Mediterranean Sea
Majorca is rightly called the cycling paradise. The climate, the roads, the landscape, the gastronomy and the cultural sights form the perfect backdrop for your cycling holiday. Whether you cycle through the flat interior or through the hills or mountains, you will be amazed by the fantastic landscapes and unique views.
Climate
Majorca is not without reason such a hugely popular holiday destination.
With mild winters, a high number of sunshine hours and little rain, Mallorca offers the perfect conditions for sports and relaxation all year round.
In February and March, Mallorca is at its best. With green vast fields filled with almond trees in full bloom, it is a wonderful season to visit Mallorca. The average temperature is around 14°C.
April is a very popular cycling month in Mallorca. It is warmer in Mallorca than on the European mainland and the first sunbathers report themselves on the beach. You are assured of arm and legless rides with an average temperature of 17°C.
May and June are the first real summer months in Mallorca. In the evening without a sweater on the terrace and while cycling a lovely warm sun on arms and legs with an average temperature around 25°C.
September and October are fantastic cycling months in Mallorca. The Mediterranean climate is very mild at this time of year. The sea water is warm and provides a faint sea breeze in the afternoon, a great contrast to spring. Daytime temperatures still easily exceed 20 degrees and the sun is out.
In short: fantastic cycling weather!
Routes
Mallorca has a well-maintained cycling road network and there is relatively little traffic on the island. Cycling in Mallorca offers a unique combination of flat, hilly and mountainous options and all within a short distance of each other as well.
You choose a challenging ride through the mountains, along the coastline with beautiful views or a more flat route through the beautiful inland. Every day there is a beautiful ride for you on the program.
You can also ride with an experienced guide of Rompelberg Cycling Holidays. In a medium-sized group you will be taken along the most beautiful routes. Full enjoyment together with cyclists of a similar level and a shared passion. The guide shows the way and makes sure everyone has a great day on the bike. Our guides know all the beautiful routes, hidden climbs and beautiful terraces for a well-deserved rest.
If it was too hard or too easy, just choose another group the next day. There are guided group rides at different levels.
If you prefer to go alone or with your own group, no problem. We provide you with tips and give you a map and the GPX routes.
Mallorca at its best
World Heritage
The ‘Serra de Tramuntana’ mountain ridge was awarded World Heritage Status by UNESCO on 27 June 2011, as an area with great landscape and cultural significance.
In this mountain range you will find picturesque villages, where time seems to have stood still. Our guided routes take you to villages such as Andratx, Deia, Lluc and Valldemossa. Order a ‘café con leche’ on a charming village square, while giving your legs a rest.
Palma de Mallorca
For culinary and cultural highlights you go to the capital, Palma de Mallorca. By bus from our hotels you exit on the central square and you will find typical Mallorcan markets, exclusive boutiques, cultural historical buildings (such as the immense cathedral of Palma) and refined restaurants. As a city, Palma has everything to offer for a nice day out on a (rest) day.
