Entdecke Mallorca auf zwei Rädern

Rad und Finca Mallorca is a specialized cycling tour operator based in Mallorca, Spain. We organize cycling holidays that combine the best routes across the island with stays in authentic fincas and boutique hotels. Our tours are designed for recreational cyclists who want to experience the beauty, culture, and cuisine of Mallorca.

The prime cycling seasons in Mallorca are spring (March to June) and autumn (September to November). During these periods, you'll enjoy pleasant temperatures (15-25°C), less tourist traffic, and beautiful landscapes. Summer (July-August) can be quite hot for cycling, while winter (December-February) offers mild conditions but with a higher chance of rainfall.

No, Spanish language skills are not required. Our team speaks fluent English and German, and all tour materials, route descriptions, and support are provided in these languages. However, learning a few basic Spanish phrases can enhance your experience when interacting with locals.

We offer several tour types: Sternfahrt (Star Tours) where you stay in one location and cycle different routes each day; PetitHotels Tour where you cycle from hotel to hotel across the island; and Custom Tours tailored to your specific preferences. Each tour type is available in different regions of Mallorca, including Levante (east), central Mallorca, and the northern regions.

Our daily routes typically range from 40 to 70 kilometers (25-45 miles) with varying elevation gains depending on the terrain. Most tours offer flexibility with shorter and longer route options each day. We provide detailed route profiles in advance so you can choose the option that best matches your fitness level and preferences.

Our standard tours are self-guided, providing you with detailed route maps, GPS tracks, and comprehensive information about points of interest and recommended stops. This allows you to cycle at your own pace and make spontaneous detours. Guided tours with a local cycling expert are available as an optional add-on for all our tour packages.

We carefully select authentic accommodations that showcase the true character of Mallorca. These include traditional fincas (rural estates), boutique hotels in historic buildings, and charming village houses. All accommodations are chosen for their quality, character, cyclist-friendly facilities, and convenient locations for our routes.

Breakfast is included daily at all accommodations. For other meals, we prefer to give you the flexibility to explore local restaurants and cuisine. Our tour information includes recommended dining options along each route and near your accommodations. Some tours include select dinners at special locations, which will be clearly indicated in the tour description.

Yes, all our selected accommodations provide secure storage for bicycles. This may be a dedicated bike room, garage, or other secure area. Many of our partner accommodations are specifically cyclist-friendly and offer additional amenities such as basic tools, pumps, and washing facilities for cycling gear.

We recommend booking 3-6 months in advance, especially for the peak cycling seasons (April-June and September-October) when accommodations fill up quickly. For groups of 6 or more, earlier booking (6-12 months in advance) is advisable to ensure we can secure suitable accommodations for your entire group.

Our cancellation policy is as follows: Free cancellation up to 45 days before your tour start date. Cancellations 44-30 days before receive a 70% refund, 29-15 days before receive a 50% refund. No refunds for cancellations less than 15 days before the tour. We strongly recommend purchasing travel insurance to cover unexpected cancellations.

We accept credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal, and bank transfers. A 25% deposit is required to secure your booking, with the remaining balance due 30 days before your tour start date. All payments are processed securely through our encrypted payment system.

You can either bring your own bike or rent one from us. Many cyclists prefer to bring their own bikes for comfort and familiarity. If you choose to bring your own, we can provide advice on transporting it to Mallorca. Our rental bikes are high-quality carbon road bikes, aluminum hybrid bikes, and e-bikes from reputable brands, all regularly maintained and available in various sizes.

Essential items include your helmet, cycling shoes, cycling clothing for various weather conditions, gloves, sunglasses, and any personal items you prefer (specific saddle, pedals, etc.). If renting a bike from us, we provide a helmet, but many cyclists prefer to bring their own. We'll send a detailed packing list after booking.

Yes, we provide a support hotline for technical issues and emergencies during your tour. For minor mechanical problems, we can direct you to nearby bike shops or send our mechanic to your location. In case of more serious issues, we can arrange transportation for you and your bike. Basic repair kits are provided with rental bikes, and we recommend bringing your own tools if you're using your personal bike.

Our tours are designed for recreational cyclists with moderate fitness. You should be comfortable cycling 40-70 km (25-45 miles) per day on consecutive days. The terrain varies from flat coastal routes to rolling hills and some mountain passes. Each tour is rated for difficulty (easy, moderate, challenging), and we can recommend the most suitable tour based on your experience and fitness level. E-bikes are available for those who want assistance on hillier sections.

We recommend regular cycling for at least 2-3 months before your tour, gradually increasing your distance and including some hills in your training. Aim to complete rides of similar distance to your tour days at least once a week. After booking, we'll provide specific training suggestions based on your chosen tour. Remember that your tour is a holiday, not a race, and our routes include plenty of opportunities for breaks and sightseeing.

Your safety and enjoyment are our priorities. If you're unable to complete a route due to fatigue, weather, or any other reason, we provide a support number to call for assistance. We can arrange transportation for you and your bike to your accommodation. Many routes also have public transport options (buses or trains) at various points, which we detail in your route information.
