The Camí Vell de Bunyola

Mallorca route guide · Serra de Tramuntana

Riding The Camí Vell de Bunyola

Three and a third kilometres of the old Bunyola road where it runs out of the Palma plain into the city: the Plaça de Son Castelló, Eusebi Estada, Pompeu Fabra. It is the longest single stretch of open road in the graph that no ride cited — one edge, built and carved, and the only one of these eight that needed a start place minted for it because nothing had ever begun here.

This point-to-point line covers 3.3 km, from sa Indioteria toward Son Castelló toward Eusebi Estada.

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: 14 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.

   41 m high point

   At 41 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 Camí Vell de Bunyola 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.
