Not cycling related, but if you want to get a feel for Mallorca away from the “Brits boozing it up in Magaluf” cliché, the books by British expat Anna Nicholas are for you – the first in the series is A Lizard in My Luggage. We have a culture that is inclusive, it doesn’t matter at what level you ride a bike, whether you travel solo, with a partner, a friend or in a group, when you step off the plane you are immediately part of the sociable SunVelo family. There are loads of options for bike hire in Pollensa, which is not surprising given it’s such a major hub for cycling on the island. All clients can be measured with a 3D body scanner to ensure the bike they hire is well-fitted to them. Turning the corner at the marina end of Cala Estancia along side the main seafood restaurant, you turn onto a more larger scale tourist avenue as you cycle on and down on to the large sweeping expanse of Playa de Palma, where you can watch the kite surfing and where the bike path comes to an end.

We love the vivid, spikey descriptions of places, people and local cuisine that make you want to jump on a plane.
