WHERE TO RIDE ON MALLORCA:

FEMENIA & SA BATALLA.

A rolling ride from Pollença, heading south-west towards Campanet and across to Caimari where the climb starts. Before climbing, stop in the village and visit Sa Ruta Verda, one of the most well-respected cycle-friendly cafés on the island.

Sa Batalla has billiard table smooth dark tarmac and, at 7.5 kilometres with an average gradient of 5%, climbing does not get much more pleasurable than this. With two finely laid sets of switchbacks and a cycle-friendly café on the summit, there is a lot to like about this climb.

After cresting Sa Batalla, take the right for the easier side of Coll de Femenia. At the pass, most of the hard work is done, so enjoy the views across the valley towards the bay of Pollença as the road drops beneath your wheels.
