You’ll arrive in the early afternoon, with time to relax on the beach. At 5:30 p.m., we’ll enjoy a walking tour, then dine out at a favourite restaurant.

Fuelled up, climb to Orient and the Dalt Muntanya restaurant for lunch on their superb terrace. Continue over Col de Sóller, where you might stop at Ca’n Topa Café, full of photos of pro cyclists and Paula’s famous carrot cake. Descend to Sóller, then 6 km further to Port de Sóller, with its spectacular oceanside setting. Dinner will be at Patiki Beach, a farm-to-table chiringuito.

Today’s ride takes you on a spectacular route to posh Deià and eclectic Valldemossa, both full of cool restaurants and designer shops. We’ll lead you to our favourite restaurant for lunch. There’s a short, hilly add-on if you’re interested. Return to Port de Sóller in the early afternoon.
