Migjorn

Of the six parts of Mallorca, Migjorn has the largest share of road carrying no number — 74.0%, against 70.4% in Raiguer. What that means on the bike: most of what you ride here is a lane nobody numbered, and lanes are where the traffic is not.

Riding road

1,103.2 km

Of 5,082 km mapped across Mallorca.

Share of the island's

21.7%

On 22.3% of the island's land — 0.97× the road its size implies, so a day here covers ground.

Where this is

The network, four ways

Four properties of a road network, each measured the same way in all six comarques, so a rank means something. Migjorn holds an end of one of them.

The longest stretch with no turning

The longest run of ridable road inside Migjorn that offers no junction at all is 8.0 km long. No summit this site measures stands near enough to either end to say where it is by naming one. Once you are on it there is nothing to decide and no way to cut the day short, which is worth knowing before you commit to it with an hour of light left.

The map gives this stretch neither a road number nor a name, which is itself the answer to what kind of road it is.

Roads with no way round

Five roads here would cut the network in two if they closed. Three of them have no alternative of any kind; for the two others the only way round runs through somebody's street, which is a detour and not a route.

The climbs here

Seven climb-sides are measured with their summit inside Migjorn; two of them are published, and all are below.

Official routes through here

Four of the island's eight signposted routes with a published track cross Migjorn, and together they bring 168.8 km of riding inside the boundary. The distance below is what each route rides here, not how long the route is.

Staying here

Four towns inside Migjorn are compared as a base for a week — how many climbs start within reach of each, how much climbing that is, and how long the transfer is. Four more were measured and do not carry enough registered accommodation to compare.

What publishers say about it

One claim about Migjorn, from one publisher, each proved word for word against its own page on the day it was read.

• Narrow paved tracks, framed by stone walls, run through the flat regions of the south coast whereas the coastal roads in the west of the island are generally seen as more of a challenge.

Each of these is held against the measurement — some hold, some do not — in the regions guide.

If this is not it

The part of Mallorca least like Migjorn, measured across the same four orders, is Palma. That is not a recommendation and there is no judgement in it: it is simply where to look next if what is above is the opposite of what you want from a week.

Where this boundary comes from

Migjorn is not a jurisdiction. No council governs it, no law defines it, and the six-part division it belongs to is a geographer's, published in 1994 and carrying no official rank. It is built out of whole municipalities, which is what makes it stable enough to measure against, and OpenStreetMap carries its outline. Every figure above is attributed by that outline: a run of road belongs to the comarca its midpoint stands in, and a climb to the one its summit stands in.

Source Viquipèdia (Catalan Wikipedia) · checked 28 August 2026The article’s own words for the status are «que no té rang oficial», and it attributes the six-part division to Lluch i Dubon’s Geografia de les Illes Balears (1994) — a book whose publisher, Lleonard Muntaner, still lists it. This is a tertiary source and is labelled as one: it is cited for the *status* of the division, which is a negative fact (no instrument creates these boundaries), and a negative fact has no primary document to cite by construction. The boundaries this site measures against are OpenStreetMap’s admin_level=7 relations, each carrying the Wikidata id of the comarca it represents, which is the join that makes the two agree.que no té rang oficial
