Mallorca route guide · North Mallorca
Riding The Ermita de la Victòria
Six kilometres from Alcúdia's south gate, over the Mal Pas and up through holm oak to a fortified hermitage on the Victòria headland with the whole Bay of Pollença below it. It is a dead end, it is under a hundred and fifty metres of climbing, and it is the best short evening ride in the north of the island.
This point-to-point line covers 13.3 km, from Alcúdia toward the Mal Pas toward the hermitage toward back.
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 119 m from low point to high point. There is 223 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.
- 01
Alcúdia
The route rolls away from Alcúdia, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
the Mal Pas
the Mal Pas is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 03
the hermitage
the hermitage is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 04
back
back is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

123 m high point
At 123 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 Ermita de la Victòria 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.
