If you are in the island, chances are you\u2019re interested in getting around Majorca, planning how are the roads and the transportation alternatives you have.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Since the sea line connecting Palma de Mallorca with continental land was opened, there has been multiple testimonies about the wonders of this magical land, between castles, risks, and mountains decorating the sides of the roads.\u00a0<\/span>Mallorca has a very rich geography, from plain roads, and mountain high curves.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Roads<\/span><\/h2>\n

The Palma-Alcudia (1), Palma-Port d\u2019Andratx (2), Palma-Llucmajor (3) are the fastest, more secure and principal roads of Mallorca.\u00a0<\/span>Palma and the airport are connected with the Palma-Lllucmajor highway. <\/span>All major roads lead to Palma.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Curvy roads<\/span><\/h2>\n

Sa Calobra road (MA-2141)\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This is a 13 kilometers long road at the mountains with sea views. Not particularly steep, at a 7% of steepness at its maximum, but with extremely closed curves.\u00a0<\/span>Twelve 180 degrees curves and one 360 degree curve are part of this rocky system surrounding the northwest of Mallorca, so it is not surprising having to spend around 15 to 20 minutes to get through this 13 kilometer road.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The distance from Palma de Mallorca to Sa Calobra is 1 hour and 30 minutes.<\/span><\/p>\n

Carretera de S\u00f3ller (MA – 11)<\/span><\/h2>\n

This is a secondary road, from Palma de Mallorca to Soller, through Son Sardina, Palma\u00f1oya y Bu\u00f1ola. It has a length of 24 kilometers and has a tunnel going through Alfabia Mountain, called \u201cSoller\u2019s Tunnel\u201d where you pay a small fee to pass, or El Tunel de Soller.\u00a0<\/span>The price of this fee is 5 euros, and thanks to this tunnel, the total driving time has diminished greatly.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Nowadays, it takes merely 30 minutes to go from Palma de Mallorca to Soller.<\/span><\/p>\n
