General camp information:

Lodging & accommodations: 
Our four-star hotel, Duva Aparthotel, is located just outside of Pollensa and allows us to access all the amazing riding from the less crowded north side of the island. The hotel features apartment-style rooms, so you can really relax and enjoy your stay. Full-service spa and lifestyle services are available on the property. 

Food: 
Mallorca boasts native raw materials of the highest quality with an extraordinary flavor that gives its cuisine its character and value. It would not be exaggerating to say that Mallorca’s cuisine is one of the most spectacular in the Mediterranean. From country cooking to simple dishes to fishermen’s cuisine, the recipes have often been passed down from one generation to the next, giving the islands dishes their identity.
      • Breakfast: Bountiful buffet at the hotel featuring local products made to order (included in the camp package)
      • Lunch: On-the-road lunches in various locations and settings (this will be a personal expense)

Rides:

      • Advanced climbing techniques to improve your ability to gain elevation

      • Efficiency and economy: learn how to maximize from both how you sit on your bike and how you sit in a paceline
      • On-bike nutrition: tips and tricks to keep you rolling all day long.
      • Power file reviews: Each day there will be a daily group ride review featuring power analysis from Hunter Allen. This will be done in a group setting to help you learn how to better analyze your efforts.
Down time: 
How you spend the afternoons and evenings is up to you. We suggest you enjoy the amenities; from golf to shopping to just wandering the town of Pollensa, you’ll enjoy taking some time to enjoy the culture of Mallorca.

For those interested in bringing non-riding spouses, there are plenty of amenities both at and local to the hotel. PCG will be glad to make recommendations of alternative activities and events if you bring your spouse. We do offer a discount of $650 off of the camp price for non-riding spouse attendees.

Duva Club is an amazing spa and will have a group of discounts for PCG riders on all services ranging from massage to spa treatments.

Extra days to make your trip extraordinary:
Want to make your travels to Spain extraordinary? Why not add a few extra days and do some exploring, on or off the bike. Our hotel has offered us some special rates for campers who want to add a few days prior or post our PCG Mallorca training camp experience.  

These extra days include lodging, breakfast and dinner, and bicycle storage but will not be supported by PCG. It is a great time to explore some of the other exciting things on this beautiful island. Pristine beaches, incredible caves, ancient ruins, forts and castles (that date back to the Romans) are some of the exciting choices for exploration. There is fabulous shopping as well, from upscale shops in Palma to local weekly open air markets at most towns filled with local crafts and produce. Or rent a car or taxi for the day and drive the rugged scenic coastline for an incredible photo tour. 

The cost is only $100.00 per person per day but priceless memories are forever!
