This Cycling Camp is suitable for all levels of riders.

Level D | Cappuccino: I’m relatively fit and am comfortable with hills that are less than half a mile in length. I want to ride on my vacation, but not necessarily every day. I can maintain an average speed of 10-14 mph.

Level C | Plausch: I ride my bike on a regular basis either for fitness, to commute to work, or just for fun. I enjoy an active lifestyle with an occasional physical challenge. I can maintain an average speed of 14-16 mph.

Level B | Hobby: Fitness is central to my life. I ride my bike regularly on a weekly basis and am comfortable with rides of 3-4 hours or more at a relatively strong pace. I can maintain an average speed of 16-22 mph.

Level A | Tour: I ride my bike an average of 200 miles per week and enjoy a fast pace for an extended period of time. I love to train, improve, and consider myself an Advanced (A) rider. I can maintain an average speed of 20-25mph.

The terrain is consistently rolling, with quiet, narrow, and winding roads, very little of it is flat. Although the ascents are not exceptionally steep, they are often upwards of three miles long and there are multiple climbs each day.

See the itinerary for specific daily ride distances and elevation options. On all of our cycling holidays, Parvilla Travel seeks to find quiet, paved secondary roads or bike paths to experience a region; busy roads are avoided as much as possible. Our itineraries are an approximation of our trips. Parvilla Travel strives to offer every guest the vacation of a lifetime on every trip. At times routes listed may change at the discretion of the guides to improve the trip experience.

Guides will be with each group every day. There is vehicle support in the event of an emergency at the discretion of the guide. There is no follow car so you carry what you need. But with the support of the guide and the others in your group, you are never far from a flat assist or a boost up that final climb.

On our Mallorca cycling trips, the fall brings much warmer temperatures in 70F-75F with evening temperatures dropping 5-10 degrees cooler. But being an island, Mallorcan weather can be unpredictable at times and the island can experience odd rain showers and coastal winds. It is advisable to bring warm layers and also rain gear.

A detailed Event Road Book is sent out to all guests when their reservation is confirmed.

The Spanish tend to eat much later and spend more time dining compared to other Europeans and North Americans. Lunch can start between 1:30 – 2:30 pm and last an hour and a half or longer. Dinner can start between 8:00 – 9:00 pm and can last an hour or longer. It is common to enjoy conversation, coffee, or drinks after a meal, known as sobremesa in Spanish.

On most Parvilla Travel trips, there are plenty of non-riding options for riders who want to take the afternoon off, or travel companions who want to spend little or no time in the saddle. Non-riders are welcome on all of our trips. There are plenty of activities for the non cyclists, some of these activities have additional costs and can be arranged through the hotel's concierge.
