entrenando-alrededor-de-palma-ciclo-1This time, rather than a cyclotourism route, today we are bringing you a progressive training plan, with the routes outlined increasing in length and difficulty. The descriptions of the sites of touristic interest found along them are given in other routes already published in this magazine.
