Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast
Riding The Castell de Santueri
An unreffed farm lane that climbs a wall to a Moorish castle on a limestone spine, five kilometres from a roundabout in Felanitx. There is no through road and there never was: the camí exists to reach the castle and stops at its gate. Fourteen kilometres out and back, with Sant Salvador's monastery on the skyline opposite you the whole way up.
This point-to-point line covers 14.2 km, from Felanitx toward the camí del Castell toward back.
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.
Captured in muntro Relief, gradient, and how to pace it
The elevation trace is rolling rather than alpine, spanning 263 m from low point to high point. There is 271 m of total ascent, enough to reward measured pressure over the rises without turning the whole route into a survival exercise.
Ride the early gradients a shade below the effort you think you can hold. The broken rhythm rewards cadence changes and short, controlled pressure rather than repeated spikes above threshold.
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.
- 01
Felanitx
The route rolls away from Felanitx, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
the camí del Castell
the camí del Castell is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.

365 m high point
At 365 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 Castell de Santueri 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.
