After lunch, head back to our hotel where you can spend the afternoon by the pool with a glass of chilled wine or an icy cocktail crafted with local gin.

Today, tackle the epic Cap de Formentor lighthouse ride—one of Mallorca’s legendary roads. Our ride begins with an inland spin to the fortified town of Alcúdia, the ancient Roman capital of Mallorca. Our main climb of the day takes us from Port de Pollença to the Colomer Mirador, where we’ll steal some magnificent glimpses of craggy rocks and the shimmering blue sea. Arrive at the lighthouse, enjoy a refreshing drink, and take a moment to snap some photos from the lighthouse terrace. Ride all the way back to Port de Pollença, or transfer and arrive in time for lunch at Tolo’s, a favorite hangout for amateur and professional cyclists alike—Sir Bradley Wiggins has been spotted here. After lunch, return to the hotel by van or via the coastal road to Alcúdia. Tonight is the show we’ve all been waiting for as a total solar eclipse takes place over northern Spain for the first time since 1905.
