Discover why April is the ideal month for cycling tourism in Mallorca.
Explore events, routes, and the vibrant cycling community that makes the island a unique destination.
If there is a month par excellence dedicated to cycling tourism, it is April. In the case of Mallorca, the famous saying that "bicycles are for summer" could be replaced by "spring". It's about going out any day of the week, on any road, and finding countless groups of cyclists enjoying the island.
This is the main reason: the enjoyment of cycling in an environment that almost unanimously reaches the status of a cycling paradise.
Asking any of these groups, coming from any corner of the world to enjoy their hobby, why Mallorca and not another notable place among the many that exist in the cycling iconography, the answer would be identical: Mallorca has everything to enjoy cycling tourism.
The alternation of landscapes, the controlled difficulty of different mountain climbs, the extensive network of roads and an enviable climate, make the island an incomparable place for the practice of cycling.
In addition, to the list of virtues described, we must add the services and infrastructures enabled to attend to the thousands of cyclists, a fact that makes them feel for a few days as if they were professional cyclists.
The complementary and sports offerings help to the full happiness of fans. Being able to ride hundreds of kilometers and finding in the terraces of the town squares, their corresponding supply of local cuisine, with its bread with oil or its tasty variats, is a sensory richness that leaves no one indifferent.
The sports offering has helped make April a predominantly cycling tourism month. In recent years, it opens and closes with events that massively call cyclists.
In the first weeks of the month, the climb to the summit of Mallorca, "La Bola" of Puig Major has been growing in followers, and everything suggests that it will end up becoming a new attraction for cyclists from any corner of the planet. A continuous ascent of more than twenty kilometers, with sections with significant slopes to the roof of the island, is a new attraction and claim to the existing offer.
However, the event that definitively propelled April to consecrate itself to cycling tourism is, without any doubt, the Mallorca 312. More than eight thousand cyclists from about fifty nationalities tour the island in a day that becomes a tribute to the bicycle. Probably, it is the most international cycling event in the world in terms of participants.
Riding traffic-free through the Serra de Tramuntana - declared a World Heritage Site - is a fortune that almost no cycling enthusiast wants to miss. Doing so in the company of a group of friends with whom outings and challenges are shared every weekend, is another secret to the success of the initiative.
Companionship, shared friendship, a good atmosphere, and hundreds of kilometers ahead is the definition of pure cycling tourism.
Only those who have experienced this experience know what I am writing about. In Mallorca, you can live it throughout the twelve months of the year - for a reason, it is the paradise of cycling tourism - but the king of months is April.
With the awakening of spring, bicycles bloom and with them, cycling tourism.
