Spain Majorca Based in One Hotel Cycle Tour 2018 Individual Self-Guided 8 days / 7 nights Mallorca.citysam.de It still exists, the other Majorca. Picturesque, tranquil bays with turquoise-blue water and fine, white sand. A festival of colours, shapes, and the scents of flowering meadows among countless almond trees. Monasteries and pilgrimage churches; castles, mysterious flowstone caves, and romantic country houses in the sun jewels in the unspoiled hinterland far away from the tourist crowds.

Itinerary Day to Day Day 1: Arrival at the Playa de Palma The first walk along the sandy beach of Palma invites you to have a nice holiday feeling! Day 2: Trip to Colònia Sant Jordi 55 km The day will start with a personal tour information meeting and bike fitting. Then, after a short bus transfer, you will get to Colònia with its sandy beaches and crystal clear water. You will ride your bike along the saline fields of Llevant with the salt lakes. Typical windmills line the path to Capocorp Vell, the Realm of the Cyclops (remnants of the native inhabitant dwellings). From there, you will soon get back to your hotel. Day 3: Trip to the Centre of the Island to Sineu 55 km In the morning, the bus will take you to Sineu. The small city is the geographical centre of the island and is well known for its golden lion proudly overlooking the city from the stairs of the parish church.

Day 4: Trip to Llucmajor and to the Holy Mountain of Ronda 70/95 km First, you will pedal to Cap Blanc where you will have a wonderful view of the sea.

In Majorca, the town is well-known for its shoe production, and it is also the place where the Majorcan monarchy officially was ended. Sporty cyclists might want to cycle up the holy mountain Ronda.
