Riding Camí vell de Bunyola

Seven and a half kilometres of the old road to Palma, taken exactly as far

This point-to-point line covers 7.5 km, from S'Esgleieta toward sa Indioteria — the open half of the old Palma radial.

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 elevation trace is rolling rather than alpine, spanning 90 m from low point to high point. There is 0 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.

1. 01

   S'Esgleieta

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

2. 02

   sa Indioteria — the open half of the old Palma radial

   sa Indioteria — the open half of the old Palma radial is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   131 m high point

   At 131 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 Camí vell de Bunyola 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.
