Alcudia is a pleasant place to stay, and a bit nicer than Pollenca. Hotels know to cater to cyclists: we scored an all inclusive with a park tool bench, mechanic (basic repairs incl., others cost extra), pool, buffet meals, spa, 1 sports massage every week, about 5 mins walk from the beach for not much €€. Close to a great Italian ice cream parlour too.

Cycling holiday in Mallorca... Wondering if anyone who has done it could share their thoughts.
Take my own bike or rent one?
Renting one seems like the least hassle compared to taking my own bike, I'd need to get a case and pay the excess baggage fee. Also slightly concerned about my million quid carbonz bike being damaged in transport etc. Rentals don't look cheap and can't help feel that I'd just enjoy it more being on my own bike.
Where to stay?
Port de Pollenca seems like a good base or at least staying in the north of the island. The friend I'm going with lives in a fairly rural sleepy part of Scotland and would like to be staying in a place thats a bit more lively at night.
Any input much appreciated!
