Why race it

This is a competitive week built around the master categories, with a multi-day stage race followed by a European Cup race. In 2026 the race office was based at Garden Saladina 4*, where riders collected their numbers. Because the stages change location from year to year, the week takes in several different parts of Mallorca.

Where to stay

Mallorca’s north and east bays are the natural base for this week: the Bay of Pollença hosted a stage and the European Cup finale in 2026, and the Platja de Muro stage lies just round the Bay of Alcúdia. Sleeping in Port de Pollença or nearby lets you arrive the day before, collect your number without a rush, roll to the start line fresh and recover properly once the racing is done. Distances below are measured from Port de Pollença.
