- The wetlands reserve at s’Albufera Natural Park
Start: Sineu Finish: Pollença
Travel to the island of Mallorca and arrive in Sineu. a mediaeval town with its impressive Gothic church, narrow lanes and lively outdoor terraces where you’ll stay for four nights. Rest, relax and get ready for a splendid week of cycling.
From the historic Sineu, start off cycling to Petra and pause at the monastery and museum dedicated to Padre Serra, the European ‘founder’ of California. The hilltop chapel of Bonany makes a prime spot for lunch. The next section of the route takes you along quiet country roads and dirt tracks to Ruberts before returning to your hotels through beautiful vineyards and olive groves
Challenge: 37 - 48 km / 23 - 30 mi, 635 m ascent and descent
Cross the Palma-Inca highway and traverse almond and olive orchards on the slopes of the Serra de Tramuntana. Stop in Alaró to see the lovely castle then skip 3 km in traffic by taking ancient footpaths to Binissalem, with one short non-cyclable section. Circling back, you ‘sail down’ a lovely inland road and wind through authentic farmland past impressive estates and ancient villages.
Challenge: 67 km / 42 mi, 575 m ascent and descent
Classic Mallorquin windmills mark the way today as you turn south. Choice of visiting three different chapels on the 450 m ascent up Puig de Randa or taking a gentler route directly to Llucmajor to skirt the Puig. Toward the end, a dirt track leads to Montuiri then you cycle back to your hotel.
Challenge: 51- 61 km / 32 - 38 mi, 550 m ascent and descent
Bid farewell to your kind hosts in Sineu and ride north to Llubí on a fairly relaxed tour. From Campanet, you pedal into a quiet valley of carob and almonds groves. Approaching Pollença you endure 2 km / 1,2 mi on a busy main road and are rewarded on arrival at your comfortable charming accommodation.
Challenge: 37 km / 23 mi, 430 m ascent, 510 m descent
Trek to the tourist mecca of Sa Pobla with an optional detour via Muro and Santa Margalida. Marvel at typical Mallorcan landscapes with windmills and fields of artichokes. Then get lost in a tiny yet beautiful corner of the world, the peaceful marshlands at S’Albufera ideal for spotting an array of water birds.
Challenge: 533 - 53 km / 20,5 - 33 mi, 275 / 175 m ascent and descent
Today you can opt for an easy ride to gorgeous north coast beaches or a strenuous ascent to Lluc Monastery, especially tough in hot weather or weekend traffic.
Challenge: 15.5 - 25 - 37 - 47 km / 9,5 - 15,5 - 23 - 29 mi, 50 - 325 m ascent and descent
Your cycling trip comes to an end this morning after breakfast. Departure from the island or extra nights in the capital, Palma de Mallorca.
The hotels on this trip have been carefully selected for their location, atmosphere and/or unique services. All rooms are en-suite. Some of the hotels we work with appear here. If a certain hotel is unable to confirm due to lack of availability, we will request a similar one and inform you about the alternative booked.
At Hotel Can Joan Capó, only deluxe rooms with terrace are available with two single rooms, so the price when booking in twin rooms is higher.
Extra nights can be booked at any of the accommodations along the way.
Can Joan Capó is the perfect place for travellers who appreciate peace and quiet, good food, this special something and a personalized service. A four star hotel in a traditional Majorcan home that has been lovingly converted with great attention to detail and transformed into an adults only boutique hotel with eleven guest rooms. Feel at home.
A charming rural hotel situated in Pollensa town centre. The complex is made up of a group of 18th-century houses which have been restored and adapted for maximum relaxation and comfort.

Arrival in Sineu
From Palma airport (PMI) to Ruberts-Sineu: Taxi transfer from Palma airport to your first accommodation is included in your arrangement.
If you travel with your own bike:
- You can go directly biking from the airport to your first accommodation with support of the maps we will provide you with.

From Palma de Mallorca ferry terminal: In case your flight arrives to Barcelona airport (BCN) and you have taken a ferry to Palma de Mallorca, from there you can go by taxi to your first accommodation (approx 40 €). There's also a shuttle bus from the Airport to Palma Train Station (departures every 15 min).
Departure from Pollença
There are several bus services a day from Pollença to Palma de Mallorca (duration 1.5 hrs). Bus leaves you at Plaça de Espanya in Palma. From there you can get the shuttle to Palma airport (Line 1). It runs every 20 minutes.

We would have stuck to normal bikes as it was a very easy ride. The e-bikes did allow us to meander around and enjoy long lunches.
Absolutely loved the Sineu accommodation - Hotel Can Joan Capo. Staff were excellent, friendly, and made the stay so enjoyable. The property was amazing. Wish it was warm enough to swim. Well situated in the town. Breakfast was excellent. The bike lock up was the best we have seen on our travels. The town of Pollença and Alcúdia were highlights for in town experiences - dining and Easter processions.
The hotel in Pollença was , Hotel San San Jordi was also very good. Nice breakfasts and very helpful staff.
The trip notes were outstanding. As were other notes provided on the App. Very clear with instructions, contact details (just amend the App phone number to the correct one on the trip notes).
