The story
You always ride Sa Calobra downhill first: the road ends at a tiny cove, so every bend you descend must be climbed again. Designed by engineer Antonio Parietti, it opened in 1933, largely built by hand. For about ten kilometres at around seven percent the tarmac snakes up between limestone walls, steady enough to find a rhythm – pro teams use it as a winter benchmark. The highlight is the Nus de sa Corbata, the 'tie knot', where the road loops through 270 degrees and passes under itself. The top, the Coll dels Reis, squeezes between two rock walls. For everyone who left their heart on Mallorca.
