Mallorca is a Spanish island in the Mediterranean, offering everything a cyclist, walker or holidaymaker may wish for, and a gay scene too. There are beaches along the south coast, a central plateau with isolated hills bearing castles and monasteries to visit, and mountains plunging into the sea along the north coast. The mountains are green all year and in Spring there are flowers everywhere across the island. We have been cycling there for many years; walking is more recent.
We've been out there in Spring and Autumn cycling and walking, but now we are using discount codes there is no reason to confine visits to a particular time - why not have a beach holiday in the sun?
Cycling is very popular and there is the infrastructure in place to support it, including dedicated cycleways through the island capital Palma, cycle racks outside cafés and restaurants, and secure cycle storage inside at the hotel. Although there is nothing to stop you taking your own bike out to Mallorca, most of us hire out there since good quality carbon road bikes are available at a competitive price compared with flying your own out, and it is much less hassle. E-bikes are readily available.
There is plenty of walking to do, including the GR221 running the length of the northern mountains. Public transport (buses, train and taxis) will get you to most parts of the island, or perhaps you would hire a car. See https://www.seemallorca.com/walking/guide and published guide-books.
For everyone, there is the historic centre of Palma and its cathedral, the quaint port town of Sóller accessible by narrow gauge railway, and also rustic traditional towns and villages. There's also a gay scene.
Our 3* hotel is in Ca’n Pastilla, just to the east of Palma and at the end of the wide sandy Palma Bay, and just a short bus ride from the airport and city centre. It’s a resort with all the facilities you might expect, but a long way from the infamous party spots of Palma Nova and Magalluf and quite genteel. Tourists are more likely to be from elsewhere in Europe rather than from the UK.
