Majorca

Just on the off chance that somebody fancies a holiday with a bit of bike hire on the island, Motorrad Strassen edition 10 has three jaunts:



Download them via Kurviger, using the TourCodes.



PS Sadly, Motorrad Strassen will no longer be published after December 2024, the main editors / contributors having now retired.

Using the TourCodes, the three routes download very nicely into Kurviger. From there it‘s easy to get them into MyRoute and into a GPS device.

The road down to Sa Calobra has a 270 degree hairpin.

The road down to Sa Calobra……

I was knee down mate. So good I had to like do it three times and then stop for a chill ‘n brew. Shagged me tyres.

Similar to this bit of road in the Pyrenees, that @Arsey and I rode in 2021, when crossing into Spain from France.

Favourite Pyrenees crossing,two very contrasting climbs on either side.

We stayed the night in Argeles Gazost, at this particular hotel. Great little town.

Dodgy weather though-there was a very heavy shower when we were there just after we went to bed

Looks like the Spanish know how to add fun into road building

What a cracking bend that is
Good job Majorca doesn't get snow and ice lol
i can't imagine the council in Scotland adopting a bend like that on the A82

Col de la Pierre Saint Martin one of my favourite Cols in the Pyrenees

The night crossing from Barca was very cheap the other year when I went too. About 45 euros for a cabin. Returning to the mainland is usually a day crossing but similar price. I booked a couple of nights hotel and did these very routes and then returned to the Pyrenees before catching the Santander crossing home.
