Mallorca A well-known island with unknown features
Individual single tour with vehicle supplement 8 days/ 7 nights – approx
280 km by bike
“La Luminosa” – “the inspired”, as the Spaniards
call the biggest of the Balearic Islands. Majorca actually radiates such
beauty that hardly anyone can resist its charms. In this tour, there is
not only sun, sand and sea in the centre of attention but also the unknown
appeals of this island: the beauty of the Majorcan nature as well as the
monuments of a chequered 2000-year-old history.
The stages are of medium difficulty. Some ascents
are followed by marvellous descents; really
difficult stages are bridged by bus. You bike on side streets, country
lanes and sometimes on “beaten
paths ”;
the volume of traffic always as little as possible.
We reserve the right to make alterations to the route.
Special Form – “Individual
single tour with vehicle supplement ”
Only the tour guide, which
is known from guided bicycle-tours, lacks in this
special form. The bus driver is always on the same
stage on his way, anytime available, if help is
needed. You`ll have a daily tour information, where
you get a lot of tipps and details. Also a few
entrees and directions are included.
