Route Highlights:

• The Climb to Galilea (via Es Capdellà & Puigpunyent): Your ride starts by heading inland from Paguera through the gateway village of Es Capdellà to tackle the first major challenge: the scenic climb to the picturesque mountain village of Galilea. Soak in the stunning panoramic views from the top before enjoying a well-earned descent into the charming valley town of Puigpunyent.
• Towards Palma and the Coll de sa Creu: From Puigpunyent, the route ventures eastwards. You'll navigate through or near the residential areas of Son Roca, Son Xigala, and Sa Teulera on the western edge of Palma. This section leads you to the foot of the next key ascent: the Coll de sa Creu, which you'll climb from the Palma/Gènova side.
• Return via Calvià: After conquering the Coll de sa Creu (summit at around 460m), you'll enjoy a descent into the historic inland town of Calvià.
