Riding The old Palma–Alcúdia road: Inca to sa Pobla
Before the Ma-13 was cut across the plain this was the road to Alcúdia, and it still runs the way the carters laid it: out of Inca past the Ma-3440 gate, up onto the low ridge at 124 m and down its far side into Búger, then the last easy kilometres across the marsh-edge fields into sa Pobla. Three villages, two dips, no traffic worth the name — and it closes three loops that the map could not ride before.
This point-to-point line covers 13.1 km, from Thirteen kilometres of the Ma-13A the motorway left behind — Inca, Búger, sa Pobla.
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 108 m from low point to high point. There is 29 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.

Why this road works indoors
muntro does not flatten the old Palma–Alcúdia road: Inca to sa Pobla 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.
