Quoted message said:

I am off next week to magaluf.
To get from the Palma airport I will rely on a friend who knows the
way, but thought I might check it ot first.
I cannot find much info on cycle routes and tracks.I am told that the
big roads are avoidable by off road routes.Does anyone know where I
might find such maps and info?

Hello Terry

Its Pedro from Mallorca. Im a 26 years old rider from Mallorca and I
think I can try to help you with all the information you are requesting
for.

There are a lot of routes in Mallorca, excellent routes for us. Tell me
your interest, the average of miles you want to ride every day, the
level you have, etc.

For any questions you can write to [email hidden]

Many Thanks!

Hi

I'm going to try to reply your message in spanish (better for me). I'm
going to explain yo how to go from the airport to Magalluf with a bike.

If you don't understand anything, please, write to me and I will try to
explain you in english.

Al salir de la terminal de llegadas del aeropuerto de Palma, hay una
salida hacia Palma que conecta con la autopista (motorway), con la
bicicleta debemos seguir hacia esa salida pero en lugar de cogerla,
debemos seguir por la derecha hacia la gasolinera (petrol station), una
vez hemos llegado a la gasolinera debemos seguir recto y pasar por los
parkings de los coches de alquiler (car hire parking). CUando hagamos
este recorrido entraremos en una vía de servicio del aeropuerto que
llega hasta el final del recinto y sigue paralela a la autopista en
dirección a Palma de Mallorca. (see attached image)

Una vez entramos en esa vía debemos buscar el desvío hacia Playa de
Palma. Cuando lo encontremos deberemos girar a la izquierda, pasar un
puente sobre la autopista e ir hacia Playa de Palma. Una vez llegamos a
la Playa de Palma hay un carril bici especial para ciclistas. El carril
bici nos lleva hasta la ciudad de Palma de Mallorca.

Al llegar a Palma de Mallorca solo hay que ir por el carril bici hasta
el Paseo Marítimo, pasar la Catedral, el puerto y seguir por la
carretera hacia Cala Mayor, después Illetas y llegaremos a Puerto
Portals, Palma Nova y Magalluf.

Las carreteras son muy buenas.

Si quiere puedo darle darle más explicaciones o intentar escribirlo
en inglés. If you want I can try to send you tomorrow in english with
all the Maps.

Many Thanks!

Kind Regards

Pedro

So, it sounds as if the main problem is getting out of the airport
without getting on the Mway.Once at Playa de Palma there is a bike
track right aong the coast through Palma hih will lead to th Cala Mayor
road.

Pedro sent a .gif of te airport.

What a superb response, and so quick.
Thankyou.

We will be at the Barbados in Magalluf.One of the riders has been a
number of times, so he will have plans for rides, but I just thought
there might be more maps on the web, and I did not like the look of the
route there.Pedro's instructions are very reassuring.I shall take them
with me.
