Riding Alaró to Sineu

North Wind Cycles stamps its café stops at km 33 in Sineu and km 52 in Santa Maria and publishes the loop at 66 km; this graph rides it in 58. Out of Alaró onto the Raiguer, across the Pla to the Wednesday-market town, and home along the Santa Maria plain under the mountains. No climb over two hundred metres and two of the best village squares on the island.

This is a true 58 km circuit: the road closes naturally rather than using an artificial turnaround.

The route is read through settlement edges: narrow streets, rooflines, roundabouts, church towers, old road alignments, and the moment the built fabric releases the rider back into open country.

Relief, gradient, and how to pace it

The elevation trace is rolling rather than alpine, spanning 160 m from low point to high point. There is 381 m of total ascent, enough to reward measured pressure over the rises without turning the whole route into a survival exercise.

Ride the early gradients a shade below the effort you think you can hold. The broken rhythm rewards cadence changes and short, controlled pressure rather than repeated spikes above threshold.

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.

1. 01

   Alaró

   The route rolls away from Alaró, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.

2. 02

   Sineu

   Sineu is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   Santa Maria

   Santa Maria is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

4. 04

   226 m high point

   At 226 m high point, the elevation trace reaches its ceiling before the road releases the height it has earned.

Why this road works indoors

muntro does not flatten Alaró to Sineu 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.

Because the course closes naturally, it works especially well for repeated laps, steady endurance rides, and comparing the same decisions under fatigue.
