Spain: Balearic Islands, Mallorca & Ses Salines
Think Mallorca is only for professional cyclists? Think again. With our deep Spanish roots, we found the hidden relaxed cycling routes other bike tour companies miss. Of course, the big climbs are there too—for anyone who wants them! As you cycle through lush subtropical forests and mountain valleys, our leaders will introduce you to sunny citrus groves and ancient stone villages bathed in the golden light of Mallorca’s vibrant sunsets. After spinning along the turquoise coast, you’ll savor Mallorca’s rich culinary traditions—including a deep dive into Spanish cuisine with a renowned paella chef, lunch at the island’s oldest olive oil mill, and a visit to the unique salt flats at Ses Salines. With a wealth of fresh seafood, locally produced Malvasia wines, and top-quality olive oil, it’s easy to see why Mallorca is truly a destination for foodies!
Tour Highlights
- Savor delicious Mediterranean cuisine, including paella, all flavored with unique Majorcan touches and accompanied with delicious local wines.
- Complement your cycling days with stays in luxurious boutique hotels, each a unique property with its own character and history that embody the region.
- Ride in a cyclist’s paradise of diverse landscapes: turquoise Mediterranean waters, dramatic Tramuntana mountains, coastal wetlands, emerald farmland and vineyards, rice fields, and more.
- Stroll small coastal villages with deep farming traditions, each graced with beautiful honey-stoned buildings and a breathtaking setting of mountains and valleys.
- Meet the owner of one of Mallorca’s oldest fincas and learn how his family has been producing olive oil for 17 generations using the only traditional press on the island.

Hotel 1898
Discover a true treasure. Located in the heart of Barcelona, the historic Hotel 1898 was once home to the Philippines Tobacco Company. The structure was built in 1891 by architect Josep Oriol Mestres. Early in this century, hotelier Núñez i Navarro restored the property, preserving its historic splendor and 19th-century architectural elements and transforming it into the modern-day Hotel 1898. Today, this unique, colonial-style structure exudes a special personality that brings the best of Barcelona’s rich past to its guests. Centrally located on Las Ramblas Boulevard and just a block from Placa de Catalunya, the hotel is an easy walk to all of Barcelona’s important sites. The elegant rooms are equipped with air conditioning, free WiFi, and beautiful marble bathrooms. The rooftop terrace features a heated swimming pool, as well as a lovely indoor pool, fitness center, and spa in the tastefully designed basement of the hotel.
Excellent combination of great biking, scenery, culture & fun!
great biking, scenery, culture & fun!
Terrific: guides, hotels (except one hotel was not good), countryside, e-bikes, wineries, guests. I didn't like the late night group dinners that ended around 9:30 at night. It's difficult to get a good night's sleep after a late dinner and then get up early the next morning to go bike riding.
