Start your ride at the Sa Pobla train station, a convenient launch point whether you’re driving (there’s easy parking) or arriving by train from Palma or elsewhere. This makes the route ideal for a car-free adventure. It’s also easily accessible by bike from Pollenca, Alcudia, Playa del Muro or Campanet. For a bigger day, you could link this Sa Pobla gravel route to our Pollenca – Buger Gravel Route, our Campanent Raiguer Gravel Route, or our Alcudia Albufera Gravel Route.
The ride explores the Pla de Mallorca, a vast, fertile plain dotted with potato fields, onions, cabbage, artichokes and the remains of yesteryears’ windmills. It’s one of Mallorca’s most overlooked cycling regions—offering tranquility, panoramic farmland views, and a surprising mix of quiet tarmac, dusty dirt roads, and the occasional singletrack.
This 57 km loop (with roughly 450 m of climbing) skirts the edges of Muro, Santa Margalida, and Maria de la Salut, weaving through open countryside and crossing sleepy farm lanes. You’ll pass through the quaint village of Llubí, where a mid-ride stop for a coffee or snack is an option. A short, rocky climb (just a few minutes of hike-a-bike) adds a bit of adventure before descending back towards Búger, eventually closing the loop in Sa Pobla .Expect a true mixed-surface experience: smooth tarmac, farm roads, gravel paths, and even some singletrack.
We recommend a gravel bike with at least 45 mm tires. While we’ve completed the route on 42 mm slicks, wider tires or low pressure will add comfort — especially on rougher sections. We prefer calling this a “drop bar adventure route” instead of a Sa Pobla gravel route because many sections are rougher than what you might expect from a “gravel” route. Mountain bikes with wide handlebars might also be at a disadvantage for some of the narrow, brushy singletrack.
