You can fly into and out of Palma de Mallorca Airport. We spend two nights in Palma as part of the trip.
Palma
We meet in Palma at our first hotel at 2pm; after bike fit, we enjoy an optional warm-up ride along the beaches east of town, much of it along a bike path or road (your choice). Palma is a fantastic cosmopolitan city with lots to see and do. We will meet for a welcome reception at 7pm and then dinner. Buen provecho!

Palma
Today we’ll explore the southwest of the island with a loop to Andratx riding the magnificent road to Banyalbufar looping back to Palma in the early afternoon in time to relax on the beach. We will enjoy a walking tour at 5:30pm, and then dine out at a favourite restaurant. With its buzzy atmosphere and plethora of great restaurants and cafés, staying a second night in Palma is ideal.

Port de Soller
Ride on bike lanes from Palma towards Palmanyola and Santa Maria del Cami to Alaro, where the famous Cycling Planet café awaits; can there be a more cycling friendly place to enjoy a cup of coffee? Once caffeinated, climb up to Orient and the restaurant Dalt Muntanya for lunch on their superb terrace. Then on (and up) over Col de Soller, where you may be tempted to stop at Ca’n Topa Café, filled with photos of pro cyclists who stop here for Paula’s carrot cake. Descend to Soller and then 6km further Port Soller with its spectacular oceanside setting. We will have dinner at Patiki Beach, a farm-to-table chiringuito.

There is a short, hilly add-on if you are interested. In the early afternoon, arrive back to Port de Soller. This is your OYO night and you might consider taking a historic (c 1912) train car to Soller for dinner or stroll to one of the oceanside restaurants near the hotel in Port de Soller.

Tour Reviews
“Great value and lots of options. Impressed with hotels and meals. Beautiful views and towns. The riding was harder than I thought but it was worth it. Very good access & responding to questions from the office.”
