Probably the most epic climb in Mallorca due to the stunning scenery, engineering marvel of the road, and challenge. Cap Formentor offers breathtaking views of the sea, but the road itself is not as impressive and the climbs not nearly as challenging. There are a good number of tourist cars and buses on the road, and hundreds of other cyclists when I did it in late April, but the vehicles were generally very mindful of cyclists. There are tight spots where you will have likely have vehicles within 2 or 3' of you, and the mountain side or cliff the same distance on the other.

CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling Sa Calobra, Mallorca, Spain

Ride 10.2 kilometers gaining 648 meters at 6.3% average grade.

This is the most scenic, famous and popular bike climb on the Spanish island of Mallorca.  It is known for its 270 degree hairpin and popularity with professional cyclists. There are 14 hairpins from kilometer 6.1 to 9.6 averaging 7.3%, ending with the 270 degree hairpin (Nus de Sa Corbata at kilometer 9.5).

You’ll need to descend to the port village of Sa Calobra on the northwest coast of Mallorca to start this magnificent and truly Bucket List climb. The road is single lane and opened in 1933 featuring many hairpins and the famous 270° loop.

Lisa Irizarry’s 77 mile Sa Calobra loop - this one begins and ends in Alcudia at the northern end of the island. This climb includes the following climbs:  Col de la Batalla South,  Col de Cal Reis and Sa Calobra.

The amazing hairpins with the Balearic Sea from kilometers 5-9

Some of the amazing sites along this magnificent bike climb.
