The essentials at a glance

Explore eastern Majorca from your base in Portocolom with its picturesque natural harbor. Daily cycling excursions on bike paths and quiet side roads lead through agricultural hinterland, past red stone walls and fincas. Highlights include Mondragó Natural Park with turquoise bays, the famous Dragon Caves in Porto Cristo, historic Artà and Santanyi, and panoramic views from Santueri Castle. Medium difficulty with gentle hills and one more challenging stage. Daily distances range from 32 to 54 km.

From your hotel in picturesque Portocolom, you can explore the most beautiful aspects of Mallorca’s east coast and inland regions. The tours take you to the turquoise-blue coves of the Mondragó Nature Park, through traditional villages, and past expansive fields, vineyards, and olive groves. In Artà and Santanyí, Mediterranean charm and cultural discoveries await you, while the Castell de Santueri delights with its impressive views. The lively harbor of Porto Cristo and the famous Dragon Caves are additional highlights. Thanks to the mild climate, the varied landscapes, and the leisurely pace of the tour, you’ll experience Mallorca from its most authentic and enjoyable side.

On this based in one hotel tour, you’ll spend your cycling vacation at a comfortable hotel in Portocolom, your home base for exploring the diverse east coast of Majorca. Each day brings a new adventure: ride through the rural heartland to the Mondragó Nature Park, then return via Portopetro and Cala d’Or. After a transfer to Artà, pedal through Son Carrió, Sant Llorenc, and Manacor, winding your way past vineyards and olive groves. The highlight of the week is the queen stage to Felanitx, where the climb to Castell de Santueri rewards you with sweeping island views. Ambitious cyclists can add the optional ascent to Puig de Sant Salvador.

  • Mondragó Nature Park: Ride through a landscape dotted with small fincas and red stone walls to the turquoise bay of Mondragó, where a fine sandy beach invites you to linger and soak up the sun.
  • Artà and island villages: After a transfer, discover the charm of Artà, then follow the cycling route through Son Carrió and Sant Llorenc to Manacor. Vineyards, orange groves, and olive trees line your way back to Portocolom.
  • Castell de Santueri: The most challenging day leads to Felanitx and the impressive Castell de Santueri, offering panoramic views across the island. For those seeking an extra challenge, the climb to Puig de Sant Salvador awaits.
  • Porto Cristo and the Dragon Caves: Cycle through classic coastal scenery to the harbor and sandy beach of Porto Cristo, where you can visit the world-famous Dragon Caves.

Cycling on Majorca means breathtaking views, historic architecture, and the warm hospitality of the locals. The routes are gently rolling, manageable with a bit of fitness, and the tour to Felanitx is the most demanding of the week. Each morning, after a hearty breakfast at your hotel, you’ll set out on daily stages ranging from 22 to 34 miles.
