Remarkable beauty is just the beginning on this bicycle trip in Majorca. Cycle on roads where dramatic cliffs drop off from both sides and offer sweeping views of the sea. Climb high into the Tramuntana mountain range. Visit the historic monastery and wander the steep, narrow streets of Valdemossa. Bask in the sunshine along the sparkling coast. You’ll be delighted by the unique whites, rosés, and reds from the island’s only AOCs, the quiet, traffic-free country roads, and your stay at the magnificent La Residencia. Culinary treats include authentic specialties prepared by the region’s top chefs and local wine varieties including Manto Negro, Callet, Fogoneu, and Monastrell.
