If there's one thing road bikers agree on when springtime comes around it's this: there's no better place to let it roll than in Mallorca. While Northern Europe is still caught in the gloom and cold of winter, the sun has started to warm up the Balearic Islands. And despite the first rays of sunshine pumping life back into the soil, it remains fairly quiet outside of the towns and villages—perfect for letting you glide up winding climbs and down mountain passes.
As most motorists tend to remain on the motorways and inside the cities, the overland roads are a paradise for road bikers – from amateurs to pros alike. Biking in Mallorca is heavenly—especially on these ten road bike passes.

Like many of the climbs in Mallorca, the Coll de Sóller is in the north of the island. From Sóller it goes up about 7 kilometers steadily at about 6 percent up to 497 meters.

A dream of departure or driveway.
It is not recommended to drive uphill when the many coaches start from Sa Calobra.

Love this climb! Definately my favourite climb in Majorca. It's a long so so be cautious of burning all your matches too soon. Perfect for light and nimble climmbers but a great fun climb for anyone. I went in early April so the temperature was mild at around 25C and their was barely any cars, just many other friendly cyclists and triathletes. Make sure you don't stop short of the strava segment at the top if that's what your into, however return to the layby before the tunnel for an amazing view making it all worthwhile.
Top tip is to have a cold beverage in your jersey pocket to enjoy at the top.

Sant Salvador is located 509 meters above sea level on the mountain Puig de Sant Salvador.
The last section you drive up in the pine forest from curve to curve. When you are upstairs and the trains are hanging on your handlebars, drive to the monastery on the right. In front of the entrance there is the best water in Mallorca (fresh well water without paying).

The Coll de Sa Bataia is the third highest pass in Mallorca. At the top there is a gas station with a restaurant and drinks.

The driveway to the Coll des Vent, or Coll Sa Creu, as it is sometimes called, was tarred a few years ago and has been a real pleasure ever since. It is the perfect training mountain for the cyclists from Palma: easy to reach, virtually car-free, scenic. Linus Gerdemann and colleagues were allowed four times over the pass on the final stage of the 5-day Cinturon Ciclista a Mallorca 2005. This can save you as a hobby athlete, if you alternatively still one or the other slope of the rear of the Coll of Vent southern Tramuntana mountains dranhängt.

My first and last tour when I am in Mallorca is going to the chapel in the monastery Betlem. Upon arrival: A candle that I am back to health, at the end of the holiday: A candle that I can go home healthy again.

The "meeting point of the winds" is the northernmost point of Mallorca. The road over the peninsula Formentor is worth a tour not only because of the spectacular view from the lighthouse!

The Bunyola-Orient-Alaro road is listed as a World Heritage Site. For me one of the most beautiful routes in Mallorca. The road surface is unfortunately in very poor condition. The road is one of the most popular racing bike routes on Malle!
