Mallorca route guide · North Mallorca
Riding The Bay of Alcúdia
Ten kilometres of flat bay shore with the sea on your right the whole way and s’Albufera’s salt marsh on your left. The road leaves Alcúdia on an avenue with no number at all, runs the resort strip, then threads the gap between the Es Comú pine wood and the reed beds — closed forest on one side, open marsh on the other, for a mile and a half.
This point-to-point line covers 10.5 km, from Alcúdia's gate toward Can Picafort.
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.
Captured in muntro Relief, gradient, and how to pace it
The profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 11 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.
- 01
Alcúdia, the town gate
The route rolls away from Alcúdia, the town gate, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
Alcúdia's gate
Alcúdia's gate is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 03
Can Picafort
Can Picafort is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

12 m high point
At 12 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 the Bay of Alcúdia 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.
