Off the coast of Valencia, the largest of the Balearic Islands offers a network of roads and trails perfect for unforgettable cycling adventures. From the seaside resort of Porto Cristo to Palma, Mallorca reveals its charms: sandy beaches, fishing and yachting harbors, and the sumptuous citrus groves of Alfabia…
The region is also known for the Caves of Drach and the Caves of Artà, true gems perched high above the sea. These panoramic views will take your breath away from afar at the start of your trip, but be warned: by the second week, you’ll be exploring the island’s peaks up close, so get your calves ready!
