Just got back from Mallorca. I think I just had the trip of a lifetime. It's amazing there. If you like to road bike, put this place on your bucket list. There was easily over 10000 cyclists there. The locals are all accustomed to it, and are used to following behind packs of cyclists on the roads. Be prepared to climb because there is a lot of it.
We ended up hooking up with a guide. He is a friend of a friend. Cool guy. He's the team lead for USA cycling and lives in Mallorca. He is a former racer and pro mechanic. Awesome stories. I would highly recommend this from a tourist perspective. We did a couple of the obvious routes like Cap Formentor ourselves but on a couple of rides, he was able to guide us through the best routes through towns and the country. While some people were on busy roads, Ken took us on these amazing side roads that a car could barely fit through and wind us though streets in towns, all the while providing some history of the villages or buildings as we rode.
