Clear azure sky and pleasant sunshine? Isn’t there just one possible interpretation of this? In Mallorca, it’s clearly summertime. Not so fast, my friend. Every year, the Balearic Islands enjoy an average of 300 days of sunlight. As a result, there are enough of bright days to go around throughout the colder months.  

When the crowds have dispersed, it’s easy to get the impression that the island is all yours to explore on two wheels. For a few weeks in late March and into May, the island’s two primary cycling seasons are to be found, followed by a brief period in the autumn. Cycling in Mallorca during the winter (namely, December and January) seems like a lot of fun. Here’s everything you need to know. 

The Island Is Perfect Size for Cycling

Mallorca is 312 kilometers in circle. That is the magic number employed by its biggest yearly cycling championship. The Mallorca 312 starts at Playa de Muro in the island’s north-western corner.

To enjoy cycling throughout the island, you don’t have to be the kind of cyclist that visits the notorious Sa Calobra Road. Mallorca is a location where you may do things slowly. That means you may stay healthy and enjoy the ride without feeling obligated to do as many bicycle kilometers as possible in a day.

Nothing is far away on Mallorca. The roads are in excellent condition, and there are typically properly delineated cycling lanes. We believe that the north of Mallorca has an advantage over the rest of the island as a location to stay for your vacation, especially if you pick Alcudia and Pollensa. First and foremost, it is breathtakingly lovely. During the cycling seasons, it is also the most popular portion of the island, therefore it has good cycling infrastructure.

There is lots of free parking available. This creates new opportunities. During the winter, renting a vehicle on the island is quite affordable. You’ll nearly always be able to find a good deal large enough to put bicycles in the back.

Enjoy Mallorca to the fullest

Cars are the greatest mode of transportation to get access the island’s dozens of bicycle paths. Cycling isn’t only a pastime for visitors in Mallorca. You’ll see a lot of locals doing it, too. It’s not uncommon for people to throw their bikes in the trunk and go for a different section of the island on their bikes.

In the winter, the early mornings may be both bright and chilly. When you leave Alcudia or Pollensa, the temperature might be as low as zero outdoors. Temperatures may rise as high as 15 or 16 degrees by mid-morning.

The island has a lot of beautiful rural roads. Occasionally, you’ll see a tractor or a horse-and-tractor team. Many of Mallorca’s rural roads are so remote that you’d be unlikely to see more than one automobile a day.

Cycling in the countryside of Mallorca is a great opportunity to practice mindfulness. In the wildflowers and scents, you’ll be astounded by the diversity. As a bonus, your body will become in shape as a result of all this.

We associate the feeling of speeding down rural roads to the when schussing down a mountain on a ski vacation. One major distinction must be made, though. Cycling is cheaper than driving. The roads are free to use.

Cycling in Winter Is Invigorating

If you want to feel alive and energized when you’re cycling around the countryside in Mallorca during the winter, be sure to take deep breaths of the crisp, clean air. To be able to pedal through some of the most breathtaking landscapes in the world while having almost the whole thing to oneself is an incredible opportunity and a true pleasure.

We have explored the island by bicycle in a variety of different ways. We take quite a few breaks during the day for things like coffee and food. Talk to us so that we can assist you in planning your trip and show you the hidden gems that only the residents of the area are aware of.

You’ll have such wonderful time if you visit Mallorca. Cycling through the picturesque towns and villages teeming with old olive and pine trees is a genuine treat. Our goal at Emilios Cycling Mallorca is to help you get away from the everyday grind and enjoy life to the fullest.

The climate in Mallorca is conducive to cycling throughout the whole year, and many cyclists visit the island each month. Nevertheless, there are evident distinctions between cycling in December and cycling in August. This article examines the characteristics of each season. We will explore what time of year is optimal in terms of weather, accommodations, traffic, and other considerations.

Winter

Professional racers and serious club racers go to Mallorca in the winter. They want to ride for lengthy periods of time to build up their foundation fitness in warmer and drier circumstances than they are used to back home. This means that big groups of professional cyclists will be whizzing down the roads throughout December, January, and February.

Winters in the Pacific Northwest are typically pleasant, not hot. The mercury may soar as high as 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit) on occasion, but there are other days when it hardly rises beyond 10 degrees Celsius (50 degrees Fahrenheit). As long as you’re equipped with a jacket and arm/leg warmers, cycling on the highest peaks of the island should be no difficulty at all.

Snow is an uncommon occurrence on higher land in the winter, but the roads are typically plowed in a timely manner. Another benefit of going to the island in the winter is that lodging is usually cheaper, however this may be offset by fewer flights. If you’re staying in a resort town, you may find that it’s somewhat lifeless in the winter, with few pubs or restaurants open. Because of this, we suggest vacationing in the more ancient Mallorcan villages, which have a vibrant culture all year round.

Spring

Mallorca is a popular destination for cycling during the spring months. Every time you go for a bicycle ride, you’ll see dozens, if not hundreds, of other cyclists. Most of the elite cyclists have already left town to begin their racing season so these will be mostly tourists and amateurs on their bikes.

During spring, the weather is generally ideal for cycling. At this time of year, temperatures are typically between 18- and 25-degrees Fahrenheit (64 and 77 degrees Celsius). This is t-shirt weather for most cyclists, but you may still spot Mallorquins in their winter coats!

Rain is generally uncommon, but it does occur, so carry a jacket with you. However, in the spring, it usually takes the shape of regular April showers, and with the higher temperatures, it’s not much of a problem.

Early spring, especially in March, is a great time to book a room since it’s still quite inexpensive. However, when non-cyclists begin to vacation on the island after Easter, the price of the trip rises. However, in our view, the sea is too cold for swimming until May, even if many Northern Europeans and Americans report that the water temperature may be as high as March or April!

As soon as March rolls around, you’ll want to make sure you have enough of sun protection on hand. Even if the temperatures aren’t very high, you should use sun protection if you plan to ride for more than a few hours without stopping. Though traffic picks up around May on certain major tourist routes, such as those surrounding Cap de Formentor and Valldemossa, throughout spring, the roads remain mostly deserted.

Summer

Despite the fact that you may still have a wonderful vacation in Mallorca throughout the summer, July and August have certain drawbacks compared to other months. The most pressing problem is the oppressive heat. In the early afternoon, temperatures may soar far beyond 30 degrees Celsius (86 degrees Fahrenheit). If you can get out on the bike before 8 a.m. in the summer, you’ll have plenty of time for a nice workout before the heat becomes unbearable.

In the summer, the island gets substantially more crowded, which necessitates an early start. Mallorca’s mountain roads are seldom congested since most visitors stay on the island’s beaches for the duration of their vacations and do not rent automobiles. The roads are thus passable, although there is more traffic than at other seasons of the year. Since few tourists are up and about in the early morning hours of Sunday through Thursday, this is the best time of day to go on a ride.

Cars have been prohibited from parts of Cap de Formentor and Sa Calobra, two of the most popular cycling routes, in recent years by Mallorcan authorities. However, it is still important to keep a look out for buses at this time of year.

In July and August, the cost of lodging in Mallorca is much higher than at any other time of year. You may have already considered this if you’re planning a summer vacation in Europe, since it’s a common problem throughout the continent.

While there are certain drawbacks to cycling in Mallorca during the summer, it is still possible to have a wonderful time. It’s t-shirt weather, and rain is almost nonexistent. Make the most of your vacation by getting up early and cycling some of the best trails in the area!

One more piece of advice for summer; make sure that you carry lots of sun protection and also electrolytes for your beverages. Also carry two water bottles with you, since it’s not always that simple to fill up on some of the more isolated mountain paths.

Autumn

Cycling in the fall is pretty similar to cycling in the spring. The weather is virtually ideal for cycling, and the summer tourists have mostly left. September is one of the busiest months for horseback riding on the island. The water is still extremely warm, so you may swim in the afternoon, but the air temperature is not as high as it is in the summer.

Our favorite months for visiting are really October and November. The roads are normally quiet, it is t-shirt weather, and the overall vibe on the island is serene and comfortable. The islanders almost seem to be heaving a sigh of relief that their island has returned after the stressful summer months.

Accommodation is also significantly cheaper at this time of year, especially if you stay near the seaside. The water is still warm enough for swimming until mid-late October, so the vacation doesn’t have to be all about cycling. The view is also lovely at this time of year, as the leaves start to change color and the orange, lemon, and olive trees start to bear fruit.

Rain is significantly more prevalent in autumn than the rest of the year, and there may be heavy showers at times (especially during the phenomenon known as the gota fría). However, a full week of sunshine and blue sky is still more probable than not.

Taking everything into account, it’s clear that there’s no poor time to go cycling in Mallorca. For the most part, spring and fall are the busiest seasons, and it’s easy to see why. Even in the summer and winter, cycling can be a wonderful experience if you are prepared for the weather and have the ability to start your trip sooner or wear more layers in order to be warm and comfortable.

Cyclists in Mallorca should have a wonderful time. There are a few things to keep in mind, though, if you want to get the most out of your trip. We’ve compiled a selection of the best Mallorca cycling advice for anybody planning a vacation to the island.

Cycling preparation in Mallorca

1. Select the appropriate gearing. While cycling in Mallorca, you’ll most likely be doing a lot of climbing. A small 50-34 chain set with an 11-28t cassette will be preferred by the majority of riders. On hilly hills, a cassette with a 30 or 32 teeth sprocket would be much more useful.
2. Prepare for your vacation by doing some training. If you wish to tackle Mallorca’s most renowned mountains, such as Sa Calobra, Puig Major, and Col de Sóller, you must be prepared to climb at 6-8 percent slopes. To make your vacation more enjoyable, try to get some serious training done before you go.
3. Bring extras and be familiar with how to utilize them: Spare tubes, tyre levers, a pump or CO2 canisters, a puncture repair kit, and a flexible multi-tool are all must-haves. You should also bring a toolset for heavier repairs.
4. Fuelling. Consume something before you begin climbing, and have a high-energy snack in your back pocket. To eliminate the potential of locally purchased energy items disagreeing with you, it may be worth taking a supply of your favourite snacks with you. Don’t wait till you’re hungry to eat: eat now for later.
5. Examine your bicycle. If you’re bringing your bike, get it repaired before you go for Mallorca to minimise the possibility of mechanical problems spoiling your vacation. However, if you want to rent a bike, then Emilios Cycling Mallorca has you covered.

Routes

Don’t attempt to ride your bike through the Col de Sóller tunnel: bikes are prohibited!

Etiquette on the bike path. A cycling route is two-way if it has a designated center line. If there isn’t one, presume it’s just one way. Keep an eye out for non-cyclists on the path, such as skaters, walkers, and wind surfers coming up from the beach…

Before you cycle, familiarize yourself with the route. Examine the maps and route profiles to ensure that you know what to anticipate and can feel assured. Consider how long each climb should take, where you want to refuel, and any shortcuts or critical sections of the route.

Make use of light. The tunnels leading to Cap Formentor and Puig Major are not illuminated and are quite gloomy. Make sure you have lights in the rear and front to assist you see… They will also be useful if you wind yourself beginning a ride earlier than intended, taking longer than expected, and cycling home in the dark!

Animals. Keep an eye out for strange animals along the road: we observed sheep, goats, and chicks. They have the potential to trigger adrenaline rushes, and not in a good manner.

Cycle at the best times

1. Start early: Mallorca becomes quite hot in the summer, and it’s best not to pedal during the warmest part of the day. Begin and end your trip early.
2. Opening hours: Keep in mind that most shops do not open before 9 a.m., and some may be closed during the off-season for the primary tourist business (i.e., November – February).

Weather

1. Pack for any weather conditions. Temperatures in the mountains are typically 5-7 degrees lower than those at sea level. The weather in the mountains may sometimes change suddenly. We suggest that you prepare appropriately and have adequate cold weather clothes in case you encounter a cold spell or are stranded in a thunderstorm in the mountains.
2. Sunstroke is a genuine danger. Wear sunscreen and drink enough of water to prevent sunstroke/heatstroke, which may occur even during the colder months. Keep an eye out for the signs.
3. Cramp. When the weather is hot, this is a common problem. When it rains, the roads become slippery and dangerous. If it is raining, take extra measures and allow for longer stopping distances on the road. Mallorca’s roadways are composed of granite, which means they won’t melt in the heat as other roads do. If you’re from a colder region, this means that they’re slicker than you’re used to seeing them.

Other Mallorca tips

1. Ride with a companion if feasible. This is usually a good idea since if anything goes wrong, there will be people to assist you. (You don’t have any friends?! Consider joining a group.) Before you go, it’s also a good idea to notify someone where you’re going and when you expect to return.
2. Take money. Many remote cafés do not take credit cards. Always have your phone with you in case you need help (although keep in mind that reception is not always guaranteed).
