With undulating roads and an altitude gain of almost 2000m this relatively short ride, at just 75km, will get your lungs and your legs pumping.

Taking in one of the most famous roads in Mallorca, the ride from Port de Soller to Sa Calobra takes you over Puig Major and the Coll dels Reis.

The engineer responsible for this road, Antonio Paretti, used the mountains natural curves and the gradient is surprisingly steady. However the last 2 kilometres are the hardest with two points where the road reaches 11.5%.
