The light is gorgeous, the colours are bright and the weather is pleasant for most of the year. Plus there’s an excellent range of riding terrains, from leisurely to seriously demanding! Mallorca’s shoulder seasons, and even winter, have become extremely popular with cyclists, so you still need to book ahead when it comes to the best hotels for cyclists on Mallorca.
