Riding Port de Pollença to Alcúdia

Nine kilometres that exist to close a gap. Until this ride was built the whole Formentor road stood in the world unreachable — nineteen kilometres of cape that no rider could get to, because the eight hundred metres of Port de Pollença between it and the Ma-2200 had never been laid. Those metres are a one-way grid, so the way out and the way back are different streets: this ride leaves by Pere Melià and Vicenç Buades, the sense the town actually permits. Past the seaplane roundabout it picks up the bay road and holds the water on its left for seven kilometres — sea level the whole way, never above forty-six metres and mostly under ten — through Llenaire and the Almadrava shore to the gate at Alcúdia.

This point-to-point line covers 9 km, from The bay shore — and the road that finally reaches Formentor.

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: 5 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

   Port de Pollença, carrer de Formentor

   The route rolls away from Port de Pollença, carrer de Formentor, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.

2. 02

   The bay shore — and the road that finally reaches Formentor

   The bay shore — and the road that finally reaches Formentor is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   6 m high point

   At 6 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 Port de Pollença to Alcúdia 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.
