About this ride

This is a full day on the road along the Costa Brava cliff road, linking one cove to the next over 118 km. The route collects about 1,650 m of climbing, spread across short, repeated rises rather than a single mountain, so the day has a steady up-and-down rhythm with the sea in view for much of it.

A seafood lunch stop sits roughly in the middle of the ride. It breaks up the distance and gives you time to eat properly before the second half, which matters on a day this long.

Within the site's range it is the longest single-day road ride. The Mallorca big climb morning is shorter and far steeper in character, while this tour asks for endurance more than raw climbing power. It suits strong riders who want scenery as well as effort, and it is rated hard, so expect a long day in the saddle.

  • 118 km full-day road ride on the Costa Brava cliff road
  • About 1,650 m of climbing in short, repeated rises
  • Seafood lunch stop roughly midway
  • Cove-to-cove coastal views for much of the route
  • The longest single-day road ride on the site

Who this ride suits

The ride is graded hard, and the reason is distance as much as height gained. At 118 km you need to be comfortable spending most of a day on a road bike, eating on the move and pacing yourself over repeated short climbs.

It fits riders who already manage long weekend rides and want a coastal route that rewards that fitness. It is not a good first guided ride. If you are newer to road cycling, the Mallorca greenway easy day or the old town e-bike ride are far better starting points.

The route along the cliff road

The line follows the Costa Brava cliff road from cove to cove. Expect a rolling profile: the road climbs away from a bay, crosses a headland, then drops back towards the water, and this repeats many times.

With about 1,650 m over 118 km, the average works out at roughly 14 m of ascent per kilometre. Individual rises are short, but they add up in the legs by the afternoon. Bring a gearing range you are happy with for repeated punchy efforts.

Lunch and pacing

The seafood lunch stop is the centre of the day. Treat it as part of the plan: arrive having eaten and drunk steadily on the first half, then use the break to refuel rather than rush.

The second half usually feels harder than the numbers suggest, because the climbing is spread evenly across the whole route. Ride the first hours at a conversational pace and save your effort for the final cove-to-cove sections. Ask the partner at booking about dietary needs for the meal.

How it compares with other tours

Against the Mallorca big climb morning, this ride is longer and gentler per kilometre but takes far more time. Against the Mallorca forest gravel loop, at 72 km and about 1,050 m, it is a road day with a faster pace and a coastal setting.

If you want a road ride built around views, distance and a proper lunch, this is the one. If you want the most ascent in the least time, look at the half-day climbing option instead.
