Where can I safely store my bicycle while visiting Palma and other towns on the island?

A subtle but invaluable detail for cyclists is that most towns along the Ma-13 and Ma-19, like Palma, Sóller, and Alcúdia, offer a surprising number of dedicated bike racks near main squares and popular spots. For example, Palma’s old town and the Passeig des Born are dotted with secure racks where you can leave your bike while exploring landmarks or enjoying a café. In Sóller, near the railway station that links to Palma, careful cyclists often find sheltered parking frequently used by locals.

Beyond urban areas, beach towns near Cala Mondragó or Es Trenc often have bike stands close to the shore, reflecting the popularity of cycling to visit secluded coves. If you’re headed into the Serra de Tramuntana on two wheels, some rural restaurants and cultural sites provide parking spots or storage sheds specifically designed for bikes.

When staying in hotels or agroturismos around Valldemossa or Deià, it’s worth asking in advance about bicycle storage options; many focus on cycling tourists and maintain secure lock-up spaces. Additionally, several cafes and wine cellars in Binissalem welcome riders and provide simple bike racks.

Using a strong lock and parking in well-trafficked, illuminated areas remains essential. Taking these precautions will let you enjoy sampling local delights like pa amb oli or a glass of Binissalem wine without worrying about your bike, while you soak up festivities such as Nit de Foc or the Festa de l'Ametler.
