This route takes you through the interior of the island and is suitable for some good volume training. The slightly undulating terrain offers only two significant climbs. The first is right at the start and takes you to the wine town of Santa Mária del Camí, while the second starts at the 50th kilometre and takes you to the town of Lluc. This route is intermediate level and takes 5 to 7 hours to complete depending on your average speed. You will ride through the island to the north, and along the way pass a number of beautiful towns and the northern part to the Tramuntana highlands.

In the town of Pollenca, you can visit some excellent cafés, the old bridge, the tower, and meet various artists.
