Mallorca route guide · North Mallorca

Riding sa Pobla to Port de Pollença

The ride that joins the northern network into one: out of sa Pobla across the drained marsh, over the only named col on a sea-level plain — 80 metres, unlisted by every climbing site — past seven oil-press farmsteads the map has never carried, through Mallorca’s only declared Paisatge Pintoresc for two and a half kilometres, and onto the Pollença hub’s own tarmac at the rotonda des Gall. The last five kilometres ride what Alcúdia’s dossier calls the world’s first painted bike lane, past PK 58 and the seaplane monument, to the promenade where Tolo’s hangs bikes from its ceiling and the Gran Café 1919 keeps its terrace open out of season.

This point-to-point line covers 16.7 km, from The northern stitch — over the coll de Can Llompart.

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: 72 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

   sa Pobla

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

2. 02

   The northern stitch — over the coll de Can Llompart

   The northern stitch — over the coll de Can Llompart is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

3. 03

   75 m high point

   At 75 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 sa Pobla to Port de Pollença 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.
