Riding Alaró to Consell — the Raiguer Link

Five and a quarter kilometres of the flattest, straightest thing this world has measured, and it leaves Alaró by the back door. Not the plaça: the working edge, where fourteen factory polygons and a pair of storage tanks stand within three hundred metres of the line — Alaró is a footwear town and this is the road out of the part that made the shoes. A craft-beer pub sits seven metres from the carriageway, and so does the fast-food counter next to it, both inside the first two hundred metres. Then the town lets go and the corridor becomes what it really is: open raiguer between two villages it never enters, with the Talaiot de Banyols on the hill to the left, a wastewater plant on the right, and olive terraces and vines the whole way down. At the junction the ride turns onto the Ma-2050 — a 90 km/h primary, the biggest road of the three legs — and crosses the old Palma–Inca road at a point where the two corridors share exactly eleven metres of tarmac and, until the seam is cut, not a single node. The last seven hundred metres into Consell are the ones a literal reading of that ruling would have deleted from the world.

This point-to-point line covers 5.3 km, from Alaró’s working edge toward the Ma-2050 junction toward across the old Inca road toward Consell.

This is coastal Mallorca rather than a generic blue horizon: the road’s relationship with coves, cliffs, ports, stone retaining walls, and open water is what defines it.

Relief, gradient, and how to pace it

The profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 75 m separates its lowest and highest points. The interest comes from rhythm, surface changes, exposed straights, and the way the road moves through the landscape rather than one headline climb.

Use the opening kilometres to find cadence and keep the power smooth. The route is ideal for endurance work, recovery riding, or simply exploring the island without a large climbing bill.

Points to watch for

The best Mallorca routes are remembered as a sequence of places, not as a GPX line. These are the changes of scene that organise this ride.

2. 02

   Alaró’s working edge

3. 03

   the Ma-2050 junction

   the Ma-2050 junction is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

4. 04

   across the old Inca road

   across the old Inca road is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

Why this road works indoors

muntro does not flatten Alaró to Consell — the Raiguer Link into a workout backdrop. The route’s bends, height, and junction order come from the road itself, while a compatible trainer reproduces the changing gradient under your pedals.

The point-to-point format gives the session a destination. There is no need to invent a finish when the real road already has one.
