Mallorca: a paradise for cycling trips

Mallorca’s roads and spectacular scenery make it the perfect spot for cycling trips. The northern part of the island is ideal for anyone who loves cycling because it’s packed with bike rental and repair shops. And the small medieval town of Alcudia is surrounded by challenging climbs and descents, making it the perfect spot to start your adventure.

If you’re staying in northern Mallorca, you can stay at Iberostar Waves Alcudia Park, Iberostar Playa de Muro, or Iberostar Selection Playa de Muro Village. These three hotels all feature facilities for cyclists and breathtaking views you can enjoy while recharging your batteries after exploring the fantastic routes on this part of the island.

If you’d prefer to be closer to the city of Palma, you’ll find a wide array of routes that start from Playa de Palma. You can stay at Iberostar Waves Cristina, which features excellent facilities to look after your bike. It’s also located in the perfect spot for exploring the capital of Mallorca.

Sa Calobra

Sa Calobra is one of the most beautiful spots on the island, and this spectacular setting challenges even the most experienced cyclists. The road to Sa Calobra is one of the most impressive in the world for its curves and striking cliffs.

Monasterio de Cura

The route that goes up Puig de Randa mountain is considered medium difficulty, so you need to be in good shape to climb it. If you still have energy to spare when you reach the top, continue until you reach Algaida. Make sure you check out the town’s restaurants before heading back.

Formentor Lighthouse

This extremely challenging route is considered one of the most beautiful in all of Mallorca. You can start this route from Alcudia, Playa de Muro, Ca’n Picafort, or Pollença. Enjoy the marvelous ocean views this road offers as it winds its way along the cliffs.

Are you planning your next cycling trip?

Portugal’s temperate climate makes it the perfect destination to visit any time of year. But if you want to take a cycling trip to Portugal, it’s best to avoid the summer months. Lagos is one of the most beautiful cities in the Algarve region. Located on the southern coast, it’s home to vast, golden, sandy beaches and historical monuments.

If you decide to stay in this area, choose our Iberostar Selection Lagos Algarve hotel. It’s located on the endless Meia Praia and just 4 minutes from the historical city of Lagos.

Recommended routes from Lagos

Monchique

This circular and very difficult route is about 56 miles long. Most of the paths are paved. The route starts in Meia Praia and ends in Monchique, a small mountain town located in the mountain range in the northeast of the Algarve. Its tranquility and the surrounding natural scenery will enchant your senses. The perfect spot to recharge your batteries!

 Sagres

You can start this route in Praia da Luz and follow it through the picturesque coastal towns of Burgao and Salema. Then, you’ll move away from the coast and cycle through Raposeira with climbs and descents until reaching Vila do Bispo. The last 5.6 miles take you to Europe’s most southeastern point: the city of Sagres.

Cycling trips in Tenerife

Why do many professional cyclists choose this island to prepare for the Tour de France? This choice is no coincidence. Tenerife has a climate with mild temperatures all year long and many hours of daylight. It also has a variety of different terrains and the grand Teide Mountain, sitting at 12,188 feet above sea level, which is a challenge for athletes. 

 

While you train, you can stay at our bike-friendly hotel Iberostar Waves Bouganville Playa, which has bicycle storage that is video monitored, a workshop with tools, and a washing area. So, start planning your next trip and defy your limits.
