Climb Description
The Coll de sa Batalla is one of the gateways into the heart of the Tramuntana Mountains in the north of Mallorca. Although there is some gentle climbing before, the climb itself starts as you leave the village of Caimari, heading north on the Ma-2130 and finishes just before you reach the village of Lluc at the junction with the Ma-10.Sa Batalla is one of the most popular cycling climbs in Mallorca. It's easily accessible from most locations in the north of the island, taking you into the heart of the mountains. And it also has the feel of a high mountain climb, with sweeping switchbacks and fun gradients like you would find in the Alps or Pyrenees.
It is a scenic route, with several bends that climb up through forest on the lower slopes, before the view open out towards the top. There is a lot of pine woodland alongside the climb, which provides pleasant shade for when the temperatures get high. At the top of the climb you can visit the village of Lluc, which is home to a large 13th century sanctuary.
Sa Batalla is open throughout the year.
