Camins de sa Marina

Mallorca route guide · Migjorn & South

Riding Camins de sa Marina

The marina de Llucmajor is the driest, emptiest country on the island and it is crossed by camins rather than roads. This circuit strings them: west out of Campos on the Ma-6030 to the camí de sa Sorda, north up its arm onto the camí des Palmer and eight kilometres straight across the marina, out to the Presos crossing on the Ma-6015, then the whole length of the carretera dels Presos east to the camí de Son Blai Mas, which drops to the sa Barrala road for the run back into Campos. Stone walls, ullastre, and one junction in every eight kilometres.

This is a true 38.2 km circuit: the road closes naturally rather than using an artificial turnaround.

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 107 m from low point to high point. There is 155 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

   Campos

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

2. 02

   Campos, sa Sorda, the camí des Palmer, the Presos road and Son Blai Mas — 38 km of marina

   Campos, sa Sorda, the camí des Palmer, the Presos road and Son Blai Mas — 38 km of marina is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   112 m high point

   At 112 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 Camins de sa Marina 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.
