Morning Thrills: Conquer the Roads of Mallorca

As the sun rises over Palma, the city awakens to a day filled with potential and adventure. The morning of October 26th may start with a drizzle, but don’t let that dampen your spirits. Instead, embrace the thrill of the open road with the Scenic Island Drive. This exhilarating experience offers the chance to drive a turbo sports convertible through the breathtaking landscapes of Mallorca. Feel the wind in your hair as you navigate the winding roads of the Sierra de Tramontana, a UNESCO World Heritage site known for its stunning vistas and challenging routes.

The tour kicks off at Santa Ponsa, where you’ll meet your fellow adventurers and prepare for a journey that promises both speed and scenery. As you pass through iconic locations like Magaluf, Palmanova, and Puerto Portals, the rain will clear, revealing the island’s natural beauty. The drive culminates with a toast at the Mirador de Ricardo Roca, where you can savor the view and a glass of cava. This is not just a drive; it’s an unforgettable journey through the heart of Mallorca.

Review (2024-10-09): This was a great way to see the island. We drove along the water and also into the mountains. The cars were manual transmission with lots of pep and fun to drive. All were equipped with GPS so even if we went the wrong way, we could find our way back to the route. Wish I had brought my mini-plug converter so I could have plugged in to the car’s auxiliary connection so I could have listened to my own music during the drive. That would have made it perfect! We had a lot of fun on this tour.
