Palma on Two Wheels: The Ultimate Guide to Cycling the Capital
While Mallorca is famous for its professional cycling routes in the mountains, the city of Palma offers a completely different – and equally magical – experience on two wheels. Forget the traffic and parking stress in the narrow streets of the Old Town; grab a bike and discover Palma like a local.
1. The Scenic Route: Paseo Marítimo
The crown jewel of city cycling is the bike path along the Paseo Marítimo. This 12km flat, dedicated path stretches from Porto Pi all the way past the Cathedral to El Arenal. You’ll ride right next to the Mediterranean, passing luxury yachts and fishing boats with the sea breeze in your hair.
2. Exploring the Casco Antiguo (Old Town)
Palma’s Old Town is a maze of history. Many of the most beautiful courtyards and tiny plazas are in pedestrian zones where cars aren't allowed. On a bike, you can effortlessly glide from the majestic Cathedral (La Seu) to the hidden squares of Santa Catalina in minutes.
3. Cycle to the Beach: Portixol and Molinar
Just a 10-minute ride east of the Cathedral lies Portixol, a former fishing village turned trendy hotspot. It’s the perfect place to park your bike and enjoy a "café con leche" or some tapas right by the water before heading further to the sandy beaches of Ciudad de Jardín.
