A transfer high into the mountains of the west coast is followed by a scenic descent to charming Fornalutz and stunning Port Soller.
Each night you will stay in a bustling resort town on the coast and your comfortable hotel will never be far from a fantastic beach for a refreshing post-ride swim. During the day the rides lead you inland along a network of quiet country lanes, lined with dry stone walls and rustic windmills to charming, peaceful villages. On the more remote sections cicadas provide a backing track to your ride and colourful butterflies dance in the sunlight.
