Riders at the Mallorca 312 start in Platja de Muro. The photograph shows an earlier edition.
Big events bring a lively atmosphere to the island and can affect your journey. Here are five important dates from the 2026 calendar.
Sporting events can affect your holiday even when you are not taking part. A closed road may change your airport transfer, while a finish line outside your hotel can interrupt your usual seafront stroll.
Plan using the date and route for the correct year. The dates below are for 2026. For a later visit, check the next edition with the organiser. Regattas often last several days, rather than just a weekend.

January to May, especially February to April.
Many road cyclists come to Mallorca for training, particularly in spring. Coastal towns in the north and south-west are popular bases. Allow time on mountain roads and only overtake with a clear view and the required space. Rain, wind and cool temperatures can change a ride even in spring.
The season guide on each place page rates whole months, rather than individual days. An event day can be much busier than the rest of the month. Local notes add context to those ratings, but you should still check the event calendar for your exact dates.
In brief
The big dates include the Trofeo Princesa Sofía and Copa del Rey sailing regattas, Mallorca 312, Ironman 70.3 Alcúdia-Mallorca and Challenge Peguera. The dates in this guide refer specifically to 2026.
The 2026 event took place on 25 April, starting at 6.30 am at Platja de Muro. Closures begin in the morning, rather than just the afternoon. The organiser’s traffic plan lists the affected sections and times.
No. What matters is where you are staying and the journeys you plan to make. The start and finish areas get busier, while other towns may barely be affected. Check the course and road-closure plan.
Many training groups and recreational cyclists visit in spring. Coastal roads and mountain passes offer varied rides. The weather is still changeable, with rain, wind and cool days possible throughout the cycling season.
