DESCRIPTION:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>We depart from Pont d\u2019Inca, 5 km from the\u00a0 centre\u00a0 of\u00a0 Palma,\u00a0 along\u00a0 Cabana\u00a0 street and turning left along the MA-2031, MA-2032 and\u00a0 MA-2020\u00a0 to\u00a0 Bunyola.\u00a0 From\u00a0 here,\u00a0 we take\u00a0 the\u00a0 PM-210,\u00a0 a\u00a0 windy\u00a0 road\u00a0 that\u00a0 leads through\u00a0 a\u00a0 dense\u00a0 stretch\u00a0 of\u00a0 Mediterranean vegetation,\u00a0 primarily\u00a0 Holm\u00a0 oaks\u00a0 and\u00a0 pines.<\/p>\n

After reaching the top of Coll d\u2019Honor, we set off through a wide valley towards Orient. This\u00a0 village\u00a0 is\u00a0 an\u00a0 unmissable\u00a0 stop.\u00a0 From here, we begin a rapid and beautiful descent towards Alar\u00f3, with the Serra de Alfabia on the\u00a0 left\u00a0 and\u00a0 the\u00a0 Puig\u00a0 d\u2019Alar\u00f3\u00a0 on\u00a0 our\u00a0 right, at\u00a0 the\u00a0 top\u00a0 of\u00a0 which\u00a0 there\u00a0 is\u00a0 a\u00a0 castle\u00a0 of\u00a0 the same name. Without entering the village, we take the MA-2110 in the direction of Lloseta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

After overcoming the slightly difficult stretch at Tofla, we pass the village and continue in the direction of Inca. From here, we have two options: the MA-3240, quite well travelled, or head\u00a0 along\u00a0 the\u00a0 MA-3440\u00a0 towards\u00a0 Santa Margalida and, after about 500 metres, cut off to join the Cam\u00ed Vell de Muro, a quieter route through far prettier surroundings. We continue\u00a0 in\u00a0 the\u00a0 direction\u00a0 of\u00a0 Llub\u00ed,\u00a0 but\u00a0 take the right and keep on until Sineu.<\/p>\n

\n

There we can rest a while and regain our strength in the \u201cLa Voltadora\u201d bar where, if we so desire, we can copy the great cyclist champions\u00a0 on\u00a0 the\u00a0 Balearic\u00a0 Island\u00a0 circuit. \u00a0<\/p>\n

We leave Sineu along the MA-3141 towards Palma,\u00a0 turning\u00a0 after\u00a0 4\u00a0 km\u00a0 or\u00a0 so\u00a0 towards Costitx, along the Cam\u00ed des Rafelet walking route. From here, following the MA-3121 and MA-3030\u00a0 we\u00a0 will\u00a0 pass\u00a0 Sencelles\u00a0 first\u00a0 and then Santa Mar\u00eda. After Santa Mar\u00eda, albeit along the busy MA-13, we begin a gentle descent towards the starting point.<\/p>\n

We\u00a0 recommend\u00a0 you\u00a0 try\u00a0 wines from\u00a0 the\u00a0 Binissalem-Mallorca\u00a0 Denomination\u00a0 of\u00a0 Origin.\u00a0 These\u00a0 wines come exclusively, as is right, from those regional vineyards that are registererd within the DO\u2019s Wine Register. The quality of the wines protected\u00a0 by\u00a0 this\u00a0 DO\u00a0 is\u00a0 internationally recognised.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
