MALLORCA GRAVEL

23 – 31 May 2026

Trip Overview

Mallorca Gravel

Mallorca is an island we thought we knew. Many times ridden, many times admired. And yet, every time we step away from the asphalt and onto the gravel, it reveals another layer. This journey is born from that curiosity: the desire to ride Mallorca slowly, deeply, and honestly. To trace a full loop around the island on gravel or MTB, not chasing famous climbs, but following the land where it feels most alive.

We have designed this route as we design all our dedicated journeys: by riding it first, by listening to the terrain, and by letting the island dictate the rhythm. Over the course of a week in late May, we move through mountains, plains, coastlines, and hidden interiors, linking dirt roads, forgotten paths, forest tracks, and rural passages that rarely appear on classic cycling maps. Each stage has its own character, its own light, its own quiet moments that stay with you long after the ride ends.

This is the Mallorca that exists between places: dry-stone walls glowing at sunset, ancient olive groves, silent fincas, empty tracks leading to nowhere and everywhere at once. Gravel and MTB allow us to connect these fragments into a continuous story, one built on effort, curiosity, and the pleasure of riding without haste. We ride to arrive, but also to remain present in every kilometre.

As with all PA-Cycling journeys, this is not just a route—it is a shared experience. A week to disconnect from noise, reconnect with movement, and rediscover a familiar island through unfamiliar lines. You will return to the starting point having completed a full circle, yes—but also with the quiet sense that Mallorca has let you see a side of itself reserved for those willing to leave the main road behind.
