Route description

From Son Bugadelles, this bicycle outing enters western Mallorca, where village churches stand beside roads crossing named passes. Stop at Carme Church in Es Capdellà before climbing towards Galilea. A northern extension adds Coll des Grau and Coll d’en Portell. Returning towards the western districts through Coll dels Tords, the surroundings change again from mountain roads to areas nearer the coast. Finish north of Son Ferrer, separately from the start. Allow a full cycling day for the sequence of places, short visits and an unhurried return.

Route suitability

Кому будет комфортно
Without a car: Hard With children: With caution With a dog: No data By bike: Yes With a stroller: No Mobile signal: No data The full version suits cyclists accustomed to sustained climbs, descents and ordinary road traffic. Choose a shorter outing for a beginner child. A protected cycle path throughout has not been established. Arrange transport and return between the different endpoints beforehand.

Nearby

Galilea’s Immaculate Conception parish church lies slightly off the ride. Make a separate approach to its stone portal and sundial from the Ses Timbes road, checking access. Sant Joan Baptista Church in Calvià also needs an additional turn. Sa Pedra Sagrada chapel belongs to the official Esglesietes de Ponent itinerary, but its visit is not established in this version. Climbing Galatzó summit is a separate walking outing.

Getting there

Варианты и важные моменты Show on map
Without a car
TIB107 serves Son Bugadelles, Es Capdellà and Palmanova. It offers a possible bus approach to the starting district, subject to checking bicycle carriage. Confirm the timetable and boarding point for your date. Include the approach from the bus to the start and a separate departure from the finish north of Son Ferrer.
By car
Choose a legal place to unload the bicycle beside an accessible town street in Son Bugadelles. The finish is elsewhere: arrange collection or a separate return to the car. Follow current signs on mountain roads. Do not stop in private entrances without the owner’s agreement.
Parking
Official parking directly at this version’s start has not been established. Ask where you may legally leave a car in Son Bugadelles for the full cycling day. Check signs, time limits and permitted use. Do not rely on parking at churches or passes without a separate check.

Difficult sections and safety

На что обратить внимание
Elevation gainСуммарный набор высоты — 2112 м.
SurfaceAsphalt 90%, Improved surface 1%, Dirt / grass 1%.
Риски Save energy for successive climbs and control speed before bends on descents. Oncoming cars, house entrances and limited sight lines need attention even on a quiet-looking road. Slow down near pedestrians in villages. With strong wind or worsening weather, shorten the outing using a safe departure planned beforehand.

How much time to allow

Оцените свой темп
Расчётное время в пути 9 h 8 min
С запасом на остановки + 30–60 мин
Allow a full day of cycling with an early start, a pause at Carme Church and time for the northern extension. Decide where to finish early if you become tired. A church interior visit or separate approach to Galilea’s church adds time. Collection or your own return is needed after the finish; the outing does not complete a circle at its starting point.

Best time to go

Сезонность и рекомендации
Choose dry weather with moderate temperatures and light wind. An early start helps in heat, but the long outing still needs spare water. Leave enough daylight for mountain descents in the cooler season. Handle bends and road markings cautiously after rain.
