The Conilles Road

Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast

Riding The Conilles Road

The dossier’s whole leg A: 15.7 km of the road the catàleg calls the Carretera de la Colònia de Sant Pere, severed in two by the Ma-15 and rejoined across 98 metres of its gyratory. Beyond the fork the road runs between catalogued dry-stone walls — 1,440 m of them, east side only, with a sheep creep — past the paired possessions of Son Sureda Poor and Rich, over the protected bridge at the Son Cifre ravine with its demolished predecessor still lying in the barranc, and across the Petra plateau down to the sea road at Ses Pastores.

This point-to-point line covers 15.7 km, from Manacor toward Son Sureda toward Son Cifre toward Ses Pastores.

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 profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 86 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

   Manacor

   The route rolls away from Manacor, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.

2. 02

   Son Sureda

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

3. 03

   Son Cifre

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

4. 04

   Ses Pastores

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

5. 05

   155 m high point

   At 155 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 Conilles Road 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.
