Pla de Mallorca

Of the six parts of Mallorca, Pla de Mallorca has the fewest junctions per kilometre — 12.6 / 10 km, against 14.0 / 10 km in Migjorn. What that means on the bike: you can settle into a road here and stay on it, which is a different kind of riding from being offered a turning every few minutes.

Where this is

The road network on four measures

Four properties of the road network, measured the same way in all six comarques so the ranks compare fairly. Pla de Mallorca is highest or lowest on one of them.

The longest stretch with no turning

The longest run of ridable road inside Pla de Mallorca that offers no junction at all is 8.2 km long, on the Ma-3330. No measured summit is close enough to either end to locate it by. 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.

Roads with no way round

Two roads here would cut the network in two if they closed. In every case there is a way round, but it runs through a village street, so it is a detour rather than a proper route.

The climbs here

11 climbs have been measured with their summit inside Pla de Mallorca, counting each direction up a pass separately; four of them are published, and all are below.

Official routes through here

Five of the island's eight signposted routes with a published track cross Pla de Mallorca, and together they bring 239.9 km of riding inside the boundary. The distance below is what each route rides here, not how long the route is.

Staying here

Two towns inside Pla de Mallorca 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. One more was measured and does not carry enough registered accommodation to compare.

Where this boundary comes from

Pla de Mallorca 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
