Mallorca route guide · Llevant & East Coast
Riding The coll de Son Catiu
Over the unsung col — no canon, no plate, 128 m on the DEM — past the 1963 creu del camí de Son Servera standing eight metres off the line, to the corridor’s mouth on the Ma-15 north of Capdepera.
This point-to-point line covers 5.4 km, from the Ma-4041 to the Ma-15, the creu at the top.
The mountain character comes from more than gradient. Limestone, tunnel mouths, dry-stone edges, pine shade, reservoirs, and compressed hairpins change the view as much as the elevation.
Captured in muntro Relief, gradient, and how to pace it
The profile is restrained by Mallorca standards: 76 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.
- 01
the Ma-4041 junction below Pula
The route rolls away from the Ma-4041 junction below Pula, giving you a few minutes to find cadence and read the road ahead.
- 02
the Ma-4041 to the Ma-15, the creu at the top
the Ma-4041 to the Ma-15, the creu at the top is one of the route’s defining changes of scene and a useful marker for pacing the ride.
- 03
127 m high point
At 127 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 coll de Son Catiu 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.
