Getting out of Palma Airport, Mallorca, with a bike.......The definitive Guide.
This route was taken on 1st November 2013
I doubt if anyone will ever need this but this is just in case. You may find another route described that takes you past Carrafours Supermarket. That is the route I used to get out of the airport. The following route is much better and it is the route I used to get back into the airport.
Follow this route.
After collecting your luggage and bike you come out of the arrivals Hall into the lobby where the main exit is directly in front of you. If you go through the doors in front of you will see a very long moving walkway and a big car park.
Dont go through the front doors. When you come out of the arrivals lounge turn left. Pass Hertz on the left and go right to the far end where you will see some electric sliding doors. There is a big number 7 on the columns and toilets on the left just before you leave.
Once through these doors you come into a very small, quiet car park. A good place to strip or assemble a bike and sort luggage.
Leave the car park and turn right. You cannot turn left as there are Electric barriers. You are now 20 minutes from a flat coastal bike path that goes all the way to Palma Marina.
After about 200m you come to a roundabout, go straight over. You are heading for the 50km sign.
This road is quiet except for the hire car guys rushing to fuel up and clean the hire cars.
At the next roundabout you want the little White building on your right. Now just keep going.
At the next roundabout there is a big Petrol station on the left. A good place to Stock up with sweets and drink.
Leave the petrol station and at the roundabout turn right and go over the motorway. Once you are on top of the motorway, you will see the sea directly in front of you. Just follow the hill all the way down to the promenade.
Once you get to the prom, turn right and you are on the bike path to Palma, just follow it. It is a really good path with wonderful sea views and places to stop for meals and snacks all the way.
Go back to the airport the way you came out.
When you get back to the airport the departures are on the second floor. The lift to the second floor is next to the tourist information office.
I hope this helps someone one day. It is certainly the best way in and out.
