Carrer de la Mar

Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast

Riding Carrer de la Mar

The island canon names exactly one road into Son Carrió and this is it — "the Ma-4022 and the Ma-4021", says the lighthouse guide, and the ride does both gates. Out of Sant Llorenç on carrer de la Mar, over the torrent whose 2018 flood the town still measures itself by, across the trunk road on its staggered slips, then the flattest, straightest, emptiest leg the survey ever measured: two and a third kilometres of olive orchard, nearly all of it on the right hand, falling gently to the village gate. No structure, no roundabout, two bends worth the name.

This point-to-point line covers 3.3 km, from Sant Llorenç toward Son Carrió.

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: 23 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

   Sant Llorenç des Cardassar

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

2. 02

   Sant Llorenç

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

3. 03

   Son Carrió

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

4. 04

   85 m high point

   At 85 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 Carrer de la Mar 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.
