The fishing port of Cala Ratjada is the starting point for this route, which, after crossing the picturesque beach of Cala Gat, climbs up the rocky coast until it reaches the lighthouse, from where you can enjoy beautiful panoramic views that on clear days reach as far as the island of Menorca.
After passing the Esbucada tower (13th century), we start a fairly difficult trial descent to L'Olla, where we will find a small natural pool of very salty water. We will go down to Cala Lliteras, and border the promenade and the beach of Cala Agulla to Cala Moltó, from where a route goes up to Cala Mesquida, with fun trails that will make us meander through the forest and along the slope of the peak "Es Puig de s'Àguila". A real delight for any biker.

An epic route that every biker dreams of. Winding through forests, we will make continuous incursions to beaches and hidden coves with crystal clear waters, crossing paths surrounded by pine trees, palmettos and yellow broom. In spring the route provides an incredible sensory experience. The most impressive section is the "Camí des Racó", which links up with the Cala Mitjana path and leads us to a farmhouse set in a 15th century estate, on the top of the mountain and with views of the Llevant Natural Park. Some barriers give way to the asphalt road that will lead us to Artá. We will follow a small section of the "Via Verde", to turn off towards the road to Canyamel and the golf course, which we will skirt to reach Cala Provençals and Font de Sa Cala, in the direction of Cala Ratjada.

We propose a long route with little technical difficulty, whose final goal will be the defence tower "Es Castell", in the natural area of sa Punta de n'Amer, located between the tourist areas of Cala Millor and sa Coma. From Cala Ratjada and, after an obligatory stop at the Castle of Capdepera (an impressive medieval fortification), by road and smaller ways we will reach the village of Son Servera, with a recommended stop at its New Church (an emblematic temple open to the sky). We will go up to Puig de sa Bassa, where we will enjoy beautiful views of the bay. A descent of path and road will take us to the vicinity of Sa Coma, and a stretch of wide, flat road to Punta de n'Amer. A nice coastal tour along the promenades of Cala Millor, Sa Coma and Port Vell will be part of the way back.
