Riding Campos to Felanitx on the Ma-5120

For as long as the world had both towns it had no road between them: Campos to Felanitx meant Santanyí, Manacor, Petra and Vilafranca, 78 km for 12. This is the road. Out of Campos up the carrer de la Rambla and onto the Ma-5120’s ten kilometres of dead-flat secà, into Felanitx by the carrer de Campos to the Ma-14 rotonda, then the old way back: the Ma-14 south past Carritxó to Santanyí’s gate and the Ma-19 west across the Migjorn into Campos. Forty kilometres whose whole relief is 94 metres.

This is a true 40.3 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 elevation trace is rolling rather than alpine, spanning 150 m from low point to high point. There is 262 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

   The twelve kilometres of Pla the world rode seventy-eight to avoid — and the long way home

   The twelve kilometres of Pla the world rode seventy-eight to avoid — and the long way home is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   166 m high point

   At 166 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 Campos to Felanitx on the Ma-5120 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.
