Cala, Views & Coast

The warm-up ride, and the one everybody remembers anyway.

Flat coastal roads out of Port de Pollença with the bay on one side and the Tramuntana rising on the other. Two short ramps, a stop at a cala, and back before lunch. Ideal for a first day on the bike or a recovery spin.

What to expect

This is the ride we send people on when they have just arrived. It leaves the shop and follows the bay of Pollença, with the water on one side and the first walls of the Serra de Tramuntana on the other. The gradients are gentle, the distance is short and there is always somewhere to stop for a coffee or a swim.

The two short ramps

There are a couple of short rises on the way out towards the cala. Neither lasts long, but they are a useful first check of your gears, brakes and saddle height. If anything feels wrong, ride back to the shop — it is close — and we will adjust it before your longer days.

Why ride it

After a flight, the legs need an easy hour. This loop gives you that, plus a first look at the mountains you will be climbing later in the week. It is also the route we recommend for anyone who simply wants to see the coast at an easy pace.

Best for

First day on the bike, recovery spins, families and mixed groups.
