In this video, we go over our top 5 climbs in oder from Mallorca. This is the order that we enjoyed them the most. we would also like to know which climbs are your favourites.
My favourite is the climb from Es Capdella to Galilea, with a stop at Cafe Sa Placa de Galilea, ask for a table on the terrace. You can thank me later. 😊
IMO the best climb on the island is Coll de Sóller because of the highway tunnel its almost entirely car free. I'd include Sa Batalla, de sa Creu, and a Port de Valldemossa/Canonge combo (terrifying cliff side hairpins!). An area people often overlook is the SW of Tramuntana, the road from es Capdellà through Galilea and Esporles to Valldemossa is just superb.
I do have a lot of those climbs in other videos. I love Coll de Soller but the road it a bit rough and ready in that south side. Doesn’t take away from how good it is though.
Formentor is an absolute banger of a ride! Love it to bits. The only reason it’s not on here is because it’s not one climb. It’s more like 4/5 climbs along a route.
What time of year did you do familia? In summer it’s definitely not quite and pretty dodgy when you meet a car squeezing round a corner, but that’s the same for all these routes
I’m missing Col de sa Batalla and Sant Salvador. Top 5 on my list at least.

@@cyclingunboxed it's funny, I was going to say Soller would be on my list although the road surface isn't great.
I miss Sant Salvador and Sa Batalla. I think Mallorca needs a top 10 👍😅
San Salvador is still the only climb I haven't done!
I have done another 5 but hasn't had as many views.
Artà to Betlem Monastery is another beauty 👌
Great climb! And what a view toward the end over the other side.
You must try The Lighthouse ride🤩
It’s an incredible route! It wasn’t on this list though as I class it more of a route than a climb.
Cap d‘ Formentor should be in TOP 5

Randa from the south is really tough in short sections. Recommended.
So many switch backs aren’t there! Amazing fun on the way up. Less fun on the way down.

Quietest time I have been is November but I like to go April or September usually
