HEART OF MALLORCA CYCLING (FURTHER DETAILS)

General information:
This is a 1 cycle, 6 night cycling holiday.

This easy cycling holiday takes you through olive groves, almond orchards, cornfields and verdant vineyards together with crystal clear bays, gorgeous beaches and stunning views of the Tramuntana mountains.

Location:
This holiday takes you to some of the least well-known areas of Mallorca - the majority of beach-bound visitors to the island pass them by. You ride from the shady foothills of the Tramuntana in the west, where olive groves have been cultivated for centuries, to the central plain, the breadbasket of the island. The route takes you to the crystal clear bays of the north-west, and as you pedal along you experience the steady pace of rural life at first hand. There is gorgeous scenery, with cornfields and windmills, ranks of verdant vineyards that produce some of the island’s finest wines and steep cliffs offering superb views over the glittering blue sea.

Sleepy villages filled with local people going about their day are often ideal for coffee or lunch stops, and there are plenty of places to pause for picnics, taste wine or just admire the views. There is so much more to the lovely island of Mallorca than the beaches for which it is so well known, and you are sure to take home some great memories.

Who would this holiday appeal to?
Anyone who wants lots of local colour, fantastic cycling trails that are easy, lots of pretty villages to stop off in for lunch and great vineyards and bodegas for clients to stop off at.

Easy cycling not difficult not suitable for children due to some of the road sections
