Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast
Riding The roof and the fall to Cala d'Or
Off the Ma-14 at the es Carritxó gyratory, up the Ma-4016 to 172 metres — the highest ground on fifty kilometres — then the long drop down the Ma-4013 to Cala d'Or at twenty-three. The corridor's only real climb and its biggest single descent, back to back.
This point-to-point line covers 9 km, from Over the corridor’s high point, then down to the water.
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 elevation trace is rolling rather than alpine, spanning 150 m from low point to high point. There is 51 m of total ascent, enough to reward measured pressure over the rises without turning the whole route into a survival exercise.
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
es Carritxó
The route rolls away from es Carritxó, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
Over the corridor’s high point, then down to the water
Over the corridor’s high point, then down to the water is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 03
172 m high point
At 172 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 roof and the fall to Cala d'Or 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.
