Mallorca
Palma and more generally Mallorca is a paradise for cyclists. In town, an already large network of cycle lanes is constantly being extended, making cycling around the city one of the fastest (and nicest) ways to get from A to B. The cycle track that runs along the Paseo Maritimo has become a magnet for visitors and locals alike, and extends past the airport all the way to Arenal 15 kms away to the south. It is now also possible to cycle all the way to Santa Ponsa (via Portals) to the North on the cycle track, bar a gap between Club de Mar and Illetes.
Mallorca's geological landscape is rich in caves, cliffs and canyons, and thousands of visitors come to the island every year solely to partake in rock climbing, caving and canyoning expeditions. Mallorca has a huge variety of options for all levels of difficulty from the easy stroll to the supremely technical, strenuous and spectacular such as the famous Sa Fosca Canyon, rated to be amongst one of the most spectacular in Europe. Climbing is equally popular, and Mallorca's cliffs attract thousands of climbers along hundreds of different routes.
There are many hiking options in the western Sierra Tramuntana, starting from Calvia, St Elm or further inland. Most popular is the coastal trail from St Elm, which is also the start of the GR 221 and the hike to the top of Puig de Galatzo, an unusual 1000 m rocky formation further inland.
The area around Calvia offers multiple cycling possibilities. A dedicated cycle track now links Cala Mayor to Santa Ponsa and Calvia, and there are numerous recommended cycling routes in the area towards Peguera, Andratx as well as towards Puigpunyent and Galillea in the Sierra Tramuntana.
The Island of Sa Dragonera can be visited thanks to tourist boats offering day trips from St Elm and Andratx. The island is a national park and there are no inhabitants aside from the caretakers and facilities for visitors are limited to a small visitors centre. There are however a number of interesting walks around the small island, leading to the various lighthouses and all the way up to the 350 meter high summit, with its impressive cliffs dropping straight to the sea on the north side.
This outdoor company runs two shops, one in Soller itself and one in the port. They organise excursions in the mountains, and specialize in hiking, mountain biking, canyoning and sea kayaking. A very good option for those who have limited time and lack local knowledge and equipment.
