Manacor and the possessions

Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast

Riding Manacor and the possessions

A hundred and twenty-two kilometres round the whole Llevant, starting from the island's second town. Manacor's ring and old town first, then the possessions lane past the great estates the Ma-4021 was built to serve, out to Porto Cristo and the coast couplet, and north through Son Carrió and Son Servera to Capdepera under its castle. The way home is the Ma-12 to Artà and then the camí d'Infern — nine kilometres of unreffed lane below Calicant that earned its name honestly. The longest loop this world offers and the only one that takes in Manacor entire.

This is a true 121.7 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 233 m from low point to high point. There is 1,203 m of total ascent, enough to reward measured pressure over the rises without turning the whole route into a survival exercise.

Treat this as a long mountain day. Fuel before you need it, cap the early effort, and let the descents reset your breathing; the profile is too large to rescue with one heroic final interval.

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.

   Manacor is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   Porto Cristo

   Porto Cristo is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

4. 04

   Son Carrió

   Son Carrió is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

   Capdepera is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

Why this road works indoors

muntro does not flatten Manacor and the possessions 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.
