Cycle around the countryside

Nothing gets you up close and personal with Mallorcan oranges quite like a bicycle. There are so many cycling opportunities across Mallorca with rides to suit every level of experience. Should those fragrant citruses spur you on to give pedaling your all, you will love the ‘around the orange groves’ route.

Here is your chance to see pretty citrus groves and small quintessential Mallorcan fincas from your bike saddle. Breathe in that fresh Mediterranean air and see rural Mallorca at its most authentic.

While you will need a good level of fitness to ride ‘around the orange groves’ in the South East of the island, it is still not too taxing. The 40km or 25 mile loop is flat so you will not be setting your calf muscles burning by taking on challenging hills. Yet if you want to test against some steeper Mallorcan cycling routes, the option is there. Just integrate the Puig de Randa course into your trip around the orange groves.

Naturally you will want an inviting place to lay your head down for a good night’s rest after cycling the orange groves route. That part is easy. There are plenty of lovely small hotels in Majorca, including several hotels nearby in Campos that are sure to delight. Be sure to consider:

•    Es Figueral: eight petite rooms and one apartment make this rural hotel a shining example of small hotels in Majorca. Enjoy a host of modern conveniences, spacious gardens, rich flora and fauna plus of course a vast buffet breakfast crafted with fresh local produce
•    Son Mercadal: family run rural hotel with only eight rooms, all with private terrace. Lovely gardens, peaceful and quiet, full of authenticy!
