MAJORCABALEARIC ISLANDS

Majorca is widely known as one of the world’s best cycling destinations thanks to its warm climate, clear roads and challenging climbs. Combined with vibrant coastal resorts and a distinctly cosmopolitan capital, you’ll find there’s a great variety of cycling breaks on this beautiful Balearic Island.

CHALLENGING CLIMBS Nestled close to the thigh-burning climbs of the Tramuntana Mountains, the northern coast of Majorca is a real draw for pro cycling teams. Stay at Alcudia, Puerto Pollensa or Playa De Muro and you’ll be within easy reach of routes that explore the island’s interior, such as the loop around Inca, which has a total ascent of 360m. The area is also a great base for taking on the challenging 86km long, five-hour route from Puerto Pollensa to Campos.

COSTA BLANCASPAIN

MOUNTAINS AND VALLEYS La Marina lies north of Costa Blanca’s biggest resort, Benidorm. Famed for its steep climbs and coastal scenery, you can test your mettle on the long La Marina Alta Prueba route. Alternatively, take a ride inland to the idyllic hamlet of Gorga before a spectacular descent through the Guadalest Valley. Continue your journey away from the coast and the challenge escalates dramatically at the Cumbre de Sol Mountain.


Costa Blanca offers a brilliant mix of exciting resorts with similarly exciting terrain. Stick to the coast for flat routes around buzzing Benidorm and scenic Calpe or head inland for winding climbs alongside lakes and gorgeous valleys. It’s little wonder that the region served as stage 9 of La Vuelta a Espana.~

Head inland instead to take on the tough climbs towards the Sierra de las Nieves mountain range.

Fuerteventura is a friendly place for cyclists. The Tourism Board recently invested in creating a range of routes across the island. It makes a stay at the major resorts of Fuerteventura even more appealing. That’s not forgetting the waterparks, white beaches and zoos to enjoy when you’re out of the saddle.

FUERTEVENTURACANARY ISLANDS

EL COTILLO>>JARUGO>> This series of ascents and descents is more challenging than most of the flat coastal routes in Fuerteventura.

SHORT AND SPEEDY ROUTES Corralejo is the island’s most popular resort. Despite the backdrop of volcanic peaks, many routes from the resort encompass flat, clear roads for as short as 2km. Offering quick bursts of fun, they’re just as ideal for beginners as they are for budding professionals.
