You found an MD route to Palencia! That’s so great - it will be a terrific place for you to start from.
Also, offline I want to take another crack at your ride east from Granada all the way through to Denia. There are a few spots we might be able to spare you from some of the most challenging hills, as well as some alternate stopovers you might not have thought of.
Your timing sounds good. For us early April was an excellent time to be there. The weather was plenty warm and sunny, all the accommodations were charging low season rates, and there were hardly any tourist crowds (except for cyclists). We look forward to reading about your adventures.
4 months agoYou were the main influencers in our decision to cycle on Mallorca. We only have about one week and plan on doing a counterclockwise circle around the southern part of the island thereby avoiding the northern mountainous bits. If we like it, which we surely will, we may return another year for a more leisurely circuit.
4 months agoGlad to hear you'll be cycling in Mallorca on this trip. It's quite easy to avoid big hills there, and we very much enjoyed the ride around the island from Palma to Port Alcudia. How long will you be on Mallorca?

4 months agoEvery new bird we saw, and there were over 100, became our favourite. Until we saw the next one.
4 months agoBeautiful shot!
4 months agoWow. What a beauty!
4 months agoWhew! I am worn out just reading about your planned excursions…now I know WHY I am taking the “easy way out”, with “only”4 weeks of bike and a barge. BUT! Not to be undone, our trip will also entail a “new challenge” for us with taking a train and a bus and walking to *Margraten ( American National Cemetery) mid trip. My Mother’s brother is interred here.
4 months agoOh no, hopefully all went well. We had no trouble at all with the MD trains.
4 months agoJust wait 'till you read the heart stopping adventure of booking the train for Madrid to Plasencia!
