350.000 cyclists come to Mallorca every year. Described by Sir Bradley Wiggins as a 'Scalextric for cyclists', we find out why the island is such a Mecca for cyclists.

Cycling in the UK is nothing like this. It can be wet, windy and cold and traffic can make riding a bike risky business. But in Mallorca the climate is perfect, the terrain is varied and drivers are considerate. We speak to self-confessed 'Mamils' - Middle-Aged Men In Lycra - about their love for cycling, and visit Mallorca to meet the riders who follow the pedals of their heroes, most notably Sir Bradley Wiggins who has a regular base on the island and trains here to prepare for his epic races.

Mallorca, with its varied topography and favorable temperatures, is one of the most well-liked winter cycling destinations.

Touring around Mallorca on two wheels is becoming more and more popular each year, with bike lovers flocking to the island to enjoy its endless cycling routes and options. Mallorca stands out as a cycling destination, and is now one of Europe’s most popular cycling tourism options.

Serra de Tramuntana, Mallorca/Olympus.

The name Olympia derives from the ancient Greek word Olympios,which translates to Mountain of the Gods. In Greek mythology,Olympia was the sacred place where the ancient Olympic Games were held,making it a site of immense prestige & reverence.GUX0cVXW0AA6-oV[1].jpg

Mallorca is trending in the US.Not just in the US.

US heavyweights have been drumming the Balearic beat for some time. “Mallorca is hot, hot, hot, and deservedly so,” proclaimed Forbes in 2023. The New York Times also states “the Mediterranean island is more popular than ever among the art and design crowd.”



“There is a buzz in New York about Mallorca”​

Influencer, TikToker, lifestyle and fashion writer for StyleCaster, Olivia Marcus, who has over 200,000 followers, will soon be heading home to New York after having spent the past few months based in Mallorca, promoting the island in the United States and sharing her experiences with her growing North American audience.

Olivia, 26, was born in Germany and first came to Mallorca with her parents as a little girl. However, it was not until June last year that she returned to the island for a family holiday and, having been reintroduced to Mallorca, realised how glorious the island is and how much potential it has as a remote working destination, not to mention for a holiday.
“So this year, I decided to move to Mallorca for a few months.
“I arrived in March and will be heading back in June but looking ahead I plan to return full time next year. Having been born in Germany, I have a German passport, so that is going to make moving here easier, especially with regard to the paperwork,” she said. Olivia has been renting an apartment in Soller but she has so many favourite parts of the island.
123515.jpg

“I love Camp de Mar and escaping to and exploring all the little bays and coves in the east of the island but, most off all, it’s so wonderful to be so close to the ocean,” said Olivia, who studied in Seattle and then California before moving to and working in New York.
“Life is obviously by no means as hectic as in New York and everything, while being so diverse, is so close, be it the beaches, the mountains - I love being surrounded by them in Soller - the little villages or Palma. For us Americans, everything is on the doorstep. Plus the flight connections between Mallorca and the States are so much better. Last year we came over with United Airlines, but this time, coming out of season and with my two cats, I had to choose a different route. But it was still relatively quick, easy and far from expensive. There are so many flight connections and they are only increasing, which is great for the US/Mallorca market,” she said.
“Mallorca is an island, rather like Manhattan, and it is so well connected with the rest of Europe, so it’s really easy to nip off the island for a few days and explore other parts of Spain or Europe, which is also proving to be another attractive factor for the North American market. Mallorca is the ideal base for people wishing to explore Europe.
“The lifestyle, weather permitting of course, is rather similar to New York, which has become very European with rows of coffee shops, bars and restaurants with their terraces and everyone sitting outside. So I think that helps to ease people coming from New York in particular into the way of life here in Mallorca.
123509.jpg

“The island and Palma are full of surprises, which I don’t think many Americans are aware of.
“I love nothing more than just wandering around Palma, exploring the back streets and the lanes. The shopping is great, although I’m not that convinced by the food, which can be very expensive if you’re not careful. I work on a price-of-beer format. If a beer is over 2.50 euros, then I study the menu prices carefully.
“Nevertheless, the cost of eating in a quality restaurant in Palma is around a quarter of what it would be in New York.
“So yeah, the cost of living and the quality of living is far better here than in New York and on my return to the island taking out a longer rental will be much cheaper than the short one me, my boyfriend, sister and her roommate have taken out.
“The Balearic fashion, the local loose beach and summer designs and fabric are amazing and I’ve found some wonderful little local boutiques in and around Soller.
“The architecture is so varied, never mind centuries old and incredibly beautiful, plus all the art galleries and the culture in general. I’ve found the people very open, friendly and welcoming, although there are a lot of Britons and Germans about,” she said.
“With regard to work, I’ve managed to plan and organise my routine extremely well and it’s working, which bodes well for the future when I return.
“While I’ve been here, I have continued to work my nine-to-five job, but on a three-to-11 schedule. (Mallorca is five hours ahead of the east coast of the United States.) And that has meant that I’ve been able to use the morning to get out and about and film before settling down to work.
“It feels like you have field trip hours in the morning,” she added.
“And filming during the day is so much easier. Being able to get up and not worry about having to get back for something,” as she might have to do if filming content during working hours, “makes it a much more enjoyable experience”.
“What I have been doing is focusing on a variety of themes in Mallorca from the more typical and traditional tourism shoots to providing advice, tips and guides for Americans planning on either visiting or relocating to Mallorca.
123511.jpg

“I want to reach out to my followers and inspire them to come here, so I recommend certain restaurants, beaches, attractions, museums, shops, hikes, you name it, while I also explain how the excellent public transport system works. That resonates with so many New Yorkers, who depend on and use public transport on a daily basis albeit for business or pleasure.
“And I have the impression that the community, although it is very cosmopolitan in some areas, is well balanced. And Palma is just so cool.
“I know the Nomad visas for remote digital workers in Spain are proving very popular in the United States, but apart from that, with all the flight connections and more information being out there on the social media platforms about places like Mallorca, more and more people in North America are getting interested in Mallorca. There is definitely a buzz about Mallorca in New York, and I guess across the States.
“In the bars and restaurants, I was hearing more and more people talk about Mallorca before I relocated and no doubt, when I return, there is going to be an even greater interest in Mallorca as a place to holiday or as a place to come and work. The island has so much going for it and I think much of it appeals to Americans; it offers so many things that Americans enjoy.



“For me, it’s definitely somewhere where I intend to make a permanent move to as soon as I can,” Olivia said.

Mallorca: This American’s Paradise​


abogadosy2j.jpg

The wonder that we actually did it – that we pulled up roots and moved permanently from San Francisco to this island in the Mediterranean – hits me at odd times. Walking down one of the narrow streets of Palma’s old town and catching the whiff of onions and garlic frying. Or passing the café that is the center of life in our country town of Pollensa, in which old men are lined up against the wall, all facing the street so they can see and comment on everything and everyone that walks by (me included).
I think Wow, we really did it!

When I’m on a Zoom call with new clients, and as way of getting to know me, they ask the inevitable where-are-you-located question, I’ve learned to expect the widened eyes and quickened interest when I say Mallorca.
More Americans are becoming aware of Mallorca, thanks to shows like “The Night Manager” and “Cloud Atlas,” both of which were filmed here. We’re also seeing more and more travel articles about Mallorca in the New York Times and Washington Post, Conde Nast Traveler, Vogue, and elsewhere. There are now direct flights from Newark to Palma from April through October (more on that later). More often than not, people tell me, That’s my dream! to whom I say, Do it! With Spain’s new “Digital Nomad” visa, it’s easier than it’s ever been for an American to gain residency in this country. And the dollar is doing much better against the euro than when we bought our house in 2010 – at one point in 2023 actually at parity.
In this article, I’ll lay out a few of the thing I’ve learned in my journey to permanent residency in Spain, and what you can expect – as an American – if you decide to do the same.

Mallorca has everything​

Ocean! Beaches! Mountains! Hiking! Biking! Concerts by contemporary big-name singers and bands. World-class symphony orchestra. Opera. Art museum and galleries galore. Michelin-starred restaurants. The freshest seafood and produce. You can even get New York-style bagels here that taste like the real thing (and we’re picky).
We’ve been here full-time for eight years and we’re still surprised at all the delights Mallorca has to offer. My husband is in an international hiking group that takes a different route into the mountains every Wednesday, typically to places with spectacular views of the island and the sea. He also plays his violin in a university orchestra that plays the standard orchestra repertoire to high standards. I founded a vibrant writing group that meets weekly, and which has a perpetual waiting list, as there is no end to the talented writers on this small island.
The people are so interesting, too! One of the biggest reasons we chose Mallorca was its cosmopolitan nature. People come from all over the world to live here. Mostly English and German, but also Scandinavian, Dutch, Japanese, French, and lots of South Americans. Everyone has a story about how they landed here. English is spoken everywhere, although of course if you are going to settle you should learn Spanish to better become part of the community.

Amazing homes​

Are you a country person or a town person? A beach person or a mountain person? The good news is, you’re good no matter what – and it’s only a brief car (or bus) ride to the other extreme. Settle in the remote countryside, and you’re still within an hour (at most) of a cosmopolitan city (Palma) and its international airport – the third busiest in Spain, after Madrid and Barcelona.
A word to the wise: When looking for a property to buy – even before you arrange to visit it – ask whether it’s legal or not. Chances are good that at least parts of it won’t be, especially if you’re looking at country houses.
That’s because many Mallorquins still adhere to the time-honored practice of not bothering to ask the government before building or modifying houses. Whatever you do, don’t buy a house without a lawyer. Even a British member of Parliament had his house torn down because it was deemed illegal.

The details: Get thee to a knowledgeable economista -- and driving instructor​

Paperwork. Yes, Spain is notorious for it, and its reputation is well-deserved. It’s not a deal breaker, but it is something to be very conscious of. You need a gestor (similar to a paralegal, but with more stature) or lawyer who knows about residency requirements and procedures, as well as basic things like how to get your car checked by the ITV to keep it legal, and when (and how) to pay your garbage, water, and road taxes.
You also need an economista (similar to an accountant) who knows Spanish tax law inside and out, who speaks good English (you definitely don’t want anything to get lost in translation) who can do your Spanish taxes.
After much trial and error, I’ve found a combination that is both economical and keeps me compliant with both U.S. and Spanish authorities: a kick-ass economista who talks to my U.S. accountant, and who will go the extra mile to understand U.S.-Spanish tax treaties and regulations, thus enabling me to sleep at night.
Then there’s the driving exam – actually two of them, a written and a “practical,” like in most of the U.S. states. You will have to start the process of getting your Spanish license within six months of settling in Mallorca. The written part of the exam you can take in English (although the translation is so bad you might consider learning the rudimentary Spanish necessary to take in the original language), but you must take the practical exam in Spanish, which means knowing sufficient vocabulary that will be used to direct you through the streets of Palma when evaluating your driving skills.

Easy travel throughout Europe​

Where do you want to go? Mallorca is a major travel hub for Europe, and you can get cheap, direct flights to hundreds of destinations. You’re just two hours to Paris, two and a half to London, even fewer to Zurich or Frankfurt.
Plus, as an island resident, you get 75% off all flights within Spain. That’s how we were able to get round-trip tickets for us both to and from Seville (which where I’m writing this article) for under 40 euros.

The Americans are coming!​

“The Americans Have Landed in Mallorca!” was the banner headline of the Mallorca Daily Bulletin, on June 3, 2022, the day the first United flight carrying Americans directly from Newark to Palma landed. People talked about it all summer. Did you know…? And we definitely started to hear more American voices around the island.
We hear that more direct flights from U.S. cities are on the planning board. Which will give more Americans the opportunity to visit our beautiful island. Come in the spring or fall for the best weather (not too hot) and best overall experience (fewer tourists), but come for sure. You’re likely to fall in love, just like we did.

Puig de Galatzó(Serra de Tramuntana, of course), Mallorca.


GUZQaFxWcAAwQkt[1].jpg

The Puig de Galatzó hike is one of the best trails that you can experience in Mallorca. Located near Puigpunyent in the stunning Tramuntana Mountains (Serra de Tramuntana), this challenging day hike offers spectacular views of the mountains and coastline.

In this guide, we’re going to tell you everything you need to know about hiking Puig de Galatzó. As part of the trail description, we’ll talk about Font des Pi, which is one of the main attractions in Puigpunyent, Mallorca. We’ll then cover how to get there and discuss alternate trail options. Afterwards, we’ll talk about the nearby La Reserva Puig de Galatzó and where to stay in Puigpunyent, Mallorca.

Hiking to Puig de Galatzó in Mallorca is one of the hardest day hike options on the island. Similarly known as Puig des Galatzó, the trail to this peak, starting from Puigpunyent, is steep and somewhat unrelenting. Of course, the difficulty of the trail all depends on which route option you choose to do.

In the trail description below, we’ll discuss the circuit route that we did from Puigpunyent. This trail option involves hiking a combination of the Classic and Ridge Paths. Both of these paths are exhilarating and worth doing. Of course, there are pros and cons to doing this route, as there also are for doing the two other main route alternatives. We’ll discuss this later in the post. For now, let’s look at some quick stats and a map for the Puig de Galatzó circuit hike from Puigpunyent in Mallorca.

FYI – personally, hiking Puig de Galatzó, which included visiting Font des Pi, was a last-minute inclusion to our Mallorca hiking itinerary. Because we were winging it, we attempted and failed to reach the trailhead via Galilea. Indeed, we had a stressful time navigating the narrow roads of this town. Certainly, make sure to access the trailhead for this hike via Puigpunyent in Mallorca.

Visit La Reserva Puig de Galatzó
An outdoor adventure for all the family

This 2.5 million m² nature reserve near Puigpunyent, is a wonderful place to wander through spectacular scenery and vegetation.

There are waterfalls and caves, an array of animals including three brown bears, ostriches, emus, deers, wild donkeys, goats, peacocks, geese and several types of duck, in a stunning landscape.

There is a bar and a barbecue area and an adventure circuit, including zip wire, rock climbing, a hanging bridge etc.

Well-marked paths enable you to make an easy walk, though sensible footwear and comfortable clothes are recommended. There’s ample parking and a children’s fairground as well.

Aiming for a plastic – free Mallorca

One of the boldest moves took place in March 2021 across the Balearic Islands with the ban of single-use plastics. No plastic glasses, plates, trays, cutlery, straws, coffee capsules, cotton buds or disposable razors or lighters can now be sold on the islands.

They have stopped short of plastic water bottles for the moment but this is where partnership with local organisations and private companies holds the key.

Philipp Baier, a local and owner of event company LifeXperience , was inspired to start cleanwave.org, a non-profit initiative aimed at tackling plastic water bottle consumption and waste. Around 1.5 million bottles of water were consumed per day in 2017 in the Balearics with less than a fifth recycled.


cleanwave.org grew out of the determintion of like-minded individuals, businesses, restaurants and hotels to tackle the problem and who now offer free water bottle refill stations islandwide. The local government have also come on board and are installing permanent water refill points across Palma and all the tourist hot-spots.

As regards plastic in the sea , Save the Med, a locally founded charity, has a mission to `enable the Mediterranean Sea to recover its rich biodiversity and to thrive in harmony with local populations ́ and, in addition to organising beach cleans etc , it also has a schools programme which educates the next generation in the importance of protecting the marine ecology of the island.

Dos Manos - Save the Med - Sustainable Mallorca


Hotels are doing their bit too. The Mallorcan hotel group, Iberostar is working with Wave of Change on the elimination of single-use plastics, the promotion of responsible fish consumption and coastal protection.



Making Mallorca a year-round destination

Spreading visitor numbers across the whole year serves to take pressure off resources and the environment during the high summer months and reduces excessive water , energy and fuel consumption during this high demand period. all contributing to a sustainable Mallorca.

With its mild climate, the push has been to promote the island as a year-round activity destination, particularly for runners, walkers and cyclists.


The Zafiro Marathon kicks this programme off in October and walkers and cyclists arrive in their thousands.

Many hotels now have secure bike storage facilities and repair workshops. Palma City Council is currently extending the city’s 90km cycling network, with plans to have 100km of bike lanes in and around the Mallorcan capital in the coming years.

The jewel in the crown for walkers is the famous GR221 walking route which goes from south to north along the Unesco World Heritage Tramuntana mountain range. The eco tax has funded the upkeep of this ancient 170km routeway, with its signature dry stone walls.

Refuges for walkers along the route are also benefiting . For example Ses Porqueres de Galatzo in the heart of the Serra de Tramuntana, originally a cattle shed, is being developed into a refuge with dorm beds and a space for educational and cultural activities.

Solar Energy

With an average of 360 days of sunshine per year , few other places in Europe offer such potential for solar energy as Mallorca!

Some 260 million euros of investment is being made in photovoltaic installations (solar panels to you and me ) in the Balearics. Of the 55 projects, 46 of these solar parks will be in Mallorca. For example, Enel Green Power has completed its Sa Caseta plant in Llucmajor and their second plant Nou Biniatria is being constructed outside Alcudia.

Mallorca depends on tourism and is determined to build a better and more sustainable future for the island.

A sustainable Mallorca depends on a partnership of local government, private organisations, residents and tourists who together can combine their efforts effectively for a better and cleaner future.

Cap de Formentor, Mallorca.
