The particularly varied stalactites in Campanet (included in tour package) are another highlight.
Day 3: Tour around the Puig de inca | 55 km
Highlights:Today’s tour takes you around the Puig de Inca, approx. 300 metres in height. Through orange plantations and olive groves you cycle to countless Majorcan villages, their typical stone walls and village squares are the perfect places for a break. We recommend you definitely take a break in the winegrowers’ village of Binissalem. This is the place where the most famous Majorcan wines are pressed and can be sampled in various Bodegas.

This small town is also geographically the central point of the island. The wonderful paths lead you further on to Porreres to your next accommodation.
Day 5: Trip to Campos and its windmills | 40 km
Highlights: Nowhere else in the world will you find so many windmills as in Majorca. In the past, they were an important part of agriculture on the island. Their role was varied, either to grind the grain or to pump water into the fields. You will go past quite a few nice examples on today’s stage. You can lengthen the stage by about 10km if you want to visit the famous sandy beach “Es Trenc”.
Day 6: Trip to Porto Christo | 40 km
