Descend to Caimari
This might be a good ride for day 2 of a holiday in Campanet: stretch your legs and see what they’re made of!
There are three climbs of increasing difficulty: the Orient loop, the Soller pass, and the climb up to Puig Major. This highest point comes after 72km of the ride, so you’ve 30km of downhill home! Before the climbing really starts you enjoy a lovely rolling stretch of road that few know about but which is a real gem: it’s the back route from Lloseta to Alaro—between the 13 and 20 km marks. It involves a gentle climb (100m over 4km) with beautiful terraced olive-fields on your left and the big mountains on your right.
