The Experience
Before You Go
Hydration and food
Bring a 1.5–2L hydration pack and an energy snack—water stops are limited on rural stretches.
Tire protection
Carry a spare tube, CO2 or pump and a basic patch kit; Mallorca’s limestone can be sharp.
Layer for wind
Temperatures change rapidly on ridgelines—pack a lightweight wind layer even in summer.
Train schedule
Confirm return train times from Santa Maria or Binissalem in advance; missing the train can add long road travel.
