Hard road ride. Very good fitness required. You may need to push your bike for some segments of this route. The starting point of the route is right next to a parking lot.

Albercutx Tower
Highlight • Monument
Important: It is not recommended to drive to very high altitude, as there is only a small turnaround at the end of the road, which is guaranteed to be parked in high season. The turning with the car is then no longer possible !!!!!! You can then only drive backwards several hundred meters back, which, given the lack of guardrail and the sloping winding road can be very dangerous even for experienced drivers.

Trail Reviews
A week's family holiday on Mallorca - and of course a bike tour planned! 🚴♂️🏖️ Picked up the bike from Hürzeler bike rental (thanks, you're GREAT! 👍), and then after a delicious breakfast 🥐 we set off from Can Picafort at around half past eight. Along the Bay of Alcudia it was fantastic 🌊✨, the sea shimmered in the rising sun. Behind Port de Pollenca we started the tough climbs 💪 - luckily I was out early and still had some peace and quiet 🤫. The route to the lighthouse 🏝️ is picturesque! Then we made a detour to Talaia d'Albercutx 🏔️ - bumpy road, but the view was amazing 🌄. There was a small old tower at the top 🏰. On the way back through the hinterland 🌿 a strong wind 🌬️ came up and the headwind made it really tough 🥵. But finally I was back in time for lunch 🍝. Great tour, I'd love to keep going! 😍🚴♂️ ¡Pedalear in Mallorca es como volar sin alas! 🚴♂️💨
A truly amazing trail! Amazing viewpoints and amazing panorama. I highly recommend it to everyone!
Second outing in a good 11 months with little training. Therefore, it was already a big struggle to get there. In April in Mallorca, just before Mallorca 312, the island explodes with road cyclists. And it feels like everyone is heading there today. In addition, car drivers want to grab a spot at the Cap parking lot at 10 am, but at least 200 cars were heading there. Therefore, my conclusion is: you can do it once, but you don't have to. It was an experience worth having, but not one that you need to repeat in my opinion.
A panoramic route to the lighthouse at the northernmost point of the island – with spectacular views, short climbs, and ideal for an active rest day. Last day before Mallorca 312 – and it felt like all 8,500 participants were on this route today.
