Mallorca route guide · Pla de Mallorca

Riding The camí de s’Ermita loop

Out of Inca on the Ma-3440 and the Ma-3500’s first kilometres, then off them onto the camí de s’Ermita: three kilometres of single-lane asphalt over two small torrent decks, orchard at the top end and Llubí’s own streets at the bottom — carrer Ample, fifteen metres of carrer de Sant Feliu the lawful way round, carrer de Jaume I onto the Ma-3440. Home along the Ma-3440’s Llubí leg into Inca. The world’s own path between the camí’s two ends was sixteen kilometres; the camí is three.

This is a true 19.3 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 profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 68 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.

1. 01

   Inca

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

2. 02

   Inca to Llubí and back — a nineteen-kilometre ring on one asphalt camí

   Inca to Llubí and back — a nineteen-kilometre ring on one asphalt camí is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

   106 m high point

   At 106 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 camí de s’Ermita loop 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.
