Cap de ses Salines is the southernmost point of Mallorca. The land here is low and dry, with salt flats, pine woods and long, quiet roads that end at a lighthouse looking south across the sea towards Cabrera.
This is one of the flattest routes in the catalogue: 29.1 km with only 207 m of climbing and a high point of just 67 m. The only real rise is a long drag in the middle of the ride: about 1% on average, with one kilometre that reaches 3% around 15 km. The rest is open road where you can settle into a rhythm and stay there. If you like to ride with your head down and your power steady, this is your road.
That makes it ideal for workouts. Structured intervals are easier to ride well when the road does not fight you, and long, flat routes let you focus on cadence, position and steady power. Atlas rates it easy; how hard you make it is up to you.
In Atlas Indoor you ride the real road in 3D, with the sea and the lighthouse waiting at the end. Load a workout from your training plan, set the pacer, or ride it with your club as a relaxed group spin.
