The initial 40 kilometers of the route, follow the southeast coast of the island. It has a slightly hilly profile.

The following inland passage through Campos and Porreres is still flat. It has the only exception of two smaller swingy hills. They are a great place to compete against your friends. You will then ride 20 kilometers to Algaida, followed by the last part of the route being completely flat or slightly descending.
Tourist summary:
The start and end of this route are in Palma Aquarium. The first 22 km of the route are along the coast, through places like Son Veri Nou or Ses Palmeres. These locations are known mainly for its popular beaches. Just before the beach Cala Pi, the route turns away from the sea and returns back to it in Sa Rapita. Sa Rapita is the main destination of this route. The way back to the starting point goes through the inland.
This is an easy to medium-difficulty route, due to the distance and the climbed height meters. You might need 4-5 hours to complete it, depending on your ability.

Interesting places along the route
Sa Rapita
Sa Rapita is a town whose main task in the 16th - 19th century, was to warn the population against fires and pirate attacks, coming from the south.
The Son Duri watchtower is still standing. It still looks like it is looking for ships with a pirate flag on the mast.
Today it is one of the places with the most beautiful beaches on the island. The historic center has a pleasant atmosphere and the option of shopping in local, traditional shops.
40 km
Campos
The city was officially founded by King Jaume II, in 1300, based on the Roman settlements. The main monument of the city is the Church of Sant Julia with paintings of Jesus Christ. The author is the painter Bartolomeo Estaban Murillo.

51 km
Porreres
A small town with a seemingly sleepy atmosphere, but the appearance is deceptive. Its history dates back to the Bronze Age. Arab and Roman settlements bring in mind wells, used to be used by humans or animals. The current city name was given after its conqueror, William of Porreres. A sad historical event is a small revolution called "famous", during which the town hall burned down with 600 years of historical documentation. It coincides with the fall of Queen Isabella II in 1868.
The main street is Avinguda Bisbe Campins. It is a pedestrian area with many cafés, bars and the Gothic church of Nostra Senyora del Consolacion.
If you like modern art, you might be impressed by the Salvatore Dali exhibition in the town hall. And of course, there is a traditional marketplace as well.
61 km
