Costa Brava v Mallorca

pepero

Hey,

Trying to decide on a week or so cycling in either Mallorca or Girona area in April. Will be bringing my own bike and planning routes myself, but would much appreciate any advice or thoughts that would help me decide the destination.

Cheers in advance

If you've never been to Mallorca cycling before then this is the place you need to go, there's nowhere quite like it.

Thanks for the reply. Can I ask where you stayed? I was looking at Pollenca

I stayed in Port de Pollenca, spot on place to be, you've got the mountains on your doorstep plus lots of flat land to the South if you don't want hills that day. The ride up to the lighthouse at Cap de Formentor is an excellent first day ride.

Thanks a lot Mark. I was leaning towards Mallorca and think you may have made my mind up for me.

You have made the right decision.

Gran canaria also very good, I love Mallorca but weather not guaranteed, only downside is longer flights, slightly more expensive. Plus side weather, more climbs.

+1 for Mallorca, and Pollenca in particular. Been a few times and always keen to return. Great food as well!
