The Can Costa in Mallorca is one of the most scenic climbs on the island, connecting the coastal village of Deià with historic Valldemossa at 419 metres. The surrounding Serra de Tramuntana mountain range has held UNESCO World Heritage status since 2011. Locals have travelled this route for centuries, long before cyclists discovered its charm.
Furthermore, the Can Costa has become a staple on the Mallorcan cycling calendar. Professional teams from across Europe choose this road during spring training camps every year. The steady gradient of 4.2 percent over 7 kilometres rewards a consistent, controlled effort rather than explosive power.
Can Costa: Cycling from Deià to Valldemossa
Above all, the arrival in Valldemossa makes the Can Costa climb truly memorable. The village is famous for Frédéric Chopin’s winter stay in 1838 and remains one of Mallorca’s most visited cultural landmarks. Riding Can Costa in Mallorca means combining a Category 4 sporting challenge with some of the island’s finest scenery.
