Springtime pleasure and leisure in Mallorca

With a mild climate and long sunny days, spring is the perfect time of year to belt-up, saddle up or stretch the legs and discover Mallorca’s verdant countryside, wonderful wildlife and quaint picturesque villages.

From walking and bird watching to cycling and mountain climbing, accommodation specialists, Mallorca Farmhouses, offers a variety of activities for guests to enjoy as well as complimentary car hire so visitors can cruise the whole island and unearth its hidden gems.

Solveig McNeill from Mallorca Farmhouses says “Nature and hiking enthusiasts will love our selection of walking tours which take place in the heart of the rugged north mountain coastline. If you can tear your eyes away from the stunning scenery, then look out for rare black vultures and ensure to bring the camera along!” Prices start from €60 per person.

Another popular choice is cycling in the south. Mallorca has a network of 1,250 kilometres of roads, many of which have been renovated and adapted specifically for bicycle touring. There is something for everyone whether amateur or professional, as the main cycle routes pass through the length of the island and feature long flat plains, gentle and steep slopes and spectacular scenery with rolling fields of almond and olive groves in blossom. Guests can join a cycling tour or opt to have their bicycles delivered to the villa to use at their leisure. Bicycle hire starts from €35 per person.

All accommodation includes maid service and a welcome hamper. Options include:
