WHERE TO RIDE ON MALLORCA

On the Inca Trail.

In the shadows of the Tramnuntana, Inca is Mallorca’s third-largest town and is situated nearly in the middle of the island. The ride heads south to the flat and traverses the traditional village of Llubí before circling around to face the mountains, where you will find rolling hills and signposts to the finish.

Do this ride on a Thursday and you can finish at the local market in Inca, where leather is the specialty. Or, of course, you could just grab a cerveza.

The off-road sections of this ride vary from smooth gravel, to mud to stony half-laid lanes. But gravel cycling is also about quiet roads and on this ride, you'll find yourself in a labyrinth of lanes lined by dry stone walls and surrounded by orchards.
