Why Mallorca Remains Dangerous for Bikers — and What Could Really Help

Answer

What should I watch out for on Mallorca’s mountain roads?

On Mallorca’s mountain roads, especially in the Tramuntana, riders should expect tight hairpins, steep gradients and surfaces that may be dusty or uneven. Sand blown onto the road and sudden parking near cafés or viewpoints can also catch riders out. Slowing down and staying alert is more important there than trying to keep a steady pace through every curve.
