The Molinar Arrival

Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast

Riding The Molinar Arrival

Up the flattest road in the hub — one mapped way, 2.2 km, not a single bend — to Petra’s south gate, then along a street named for its windmills that still has its windmills: five towers in two hundred metres, with the BIC cross of the Felanitx road standing three metres off the corner. Carrer Major, ridden in its legal sense, carries you the last half kilometre to the square.

This point-to-point line covers 3.1 km, from Ma-3320A toward Carrer dels Molins toward Carrer Major.

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 profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 46 m separates its lowest and highest points. The interest comes from rhythm, surface changes, exposed straights, and the way the road moves through the landscape rather than one headline climb.

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.

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

   the Ma-3320a, below Petra

   The route rolls away from the Ma-3320a, below Petra, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.

2. 02

   Ma-3320A

   Ma-3320A is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   Carrer dels Molins

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

4. 04

   Carrer Major

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

5. 05

   113 m high point

   At 113 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 Molinar Arrival 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.
