Cycling in Mallorca

Cycling

Outdoor Activities

Every year around 35,000 cyclists visit Mallorca.  Some are cycle-tourists enjoying the many splendors of Mallorca in a nice relaxed way but others are elite, professional cyclists who come for training purposes. During the months of September to October and January to May, when the climate is mild and agreeable, almost spring like weather, unlike the Central European climate which usually experiences rain, snow and intense cold spells, is the most popular time to see the cyclists congegating on the island. Mallorca’s road network totals 1.250 kilometers of whcih 675 are secondary or small, narrow, local roads, with an average width of 6.5 metres.  This wonderful secondary road system offers a diversity of itineraris with a sparse amount of traffic, which is reflected positively in as far as the safety of the cyclist is concerned.

There are many different types of food available in Mallorca, and because, over the past twenty to thirty years there has been an increase in the amount of British and German holidaymakers, their national foods are more popular than the traditional Spanish foods. Burgers, fish and chips and wiener schnitzel are everywhere. Italian restaurants and Chinese takeaways are also really popular in the larger resorts.

For the many visitors on package holidays where breakfast is included they will find that it is usually of the buffet, all-you-can-eat variety.

If you prefer to venture out a bit and taste the cuisine of the island you will not be disappointed. Spanish food has some of the best flavours in the world and is also very healthy with lots of fresh vegetables and olive oil. Mallorcan cuisine comes from Arabic (Moorish), Jewish and Catalan origins, and you won’t really don’t have to go far to find this authentic cuisine. Even Magaluf has quality local restaurants if you go off the main streets and into the classier hotels.
