MTB Routes
Once upon a time Ibiza had two sets of signposted routes. I’m assuming it was via good old EU funds as they have not maintained them so the signposts are steadily disappearing and even the websites have gone 404.
The ‘santa Eulalia’ routes. There are a number of routes marked out and easy to follow. They are predominantly road/track and no more than 25km so a pleasant few hours bike. in addition to the routes you can combine them. For example start on route 7, continue on route 4 to San Carles and then take the reverse route 7 back .. a cracking 40km routes combining country and sea.
‘GPX’ Routes
The Cicloturismo Routes.
These were a number of routes with gpx files but the signposting is haphazard .. ie sometimes signed but never when you need it. The seems to be when the route passes near a casa and the owner doesnt want bikes near them, or santa eulalia dont want them competing with their own routes. Fortunately I mapped most of them and they are enclosed here.
The Jim Routes.
Below are a number of gpx files of routes I’ve put together. Most routes are 30km or so, mostly flattish road and track with the odd interesting bit. Also there’s a focus on routes from Santa Eulalia river .. ‘cos thats where our bikes are!
S Eul Coast Hugger Needless to say you can combine the signposted routes. Route 5 is a cracking route along the coastline, and you can make far more out of it by hugging the (walking) path along the sea .. also provides some mtb challenges 🙂 Put the coast route 5 with some extras on the way back from Sant Carles (after a drink at Anita’s bar) and you have perhaps one of the worlds best coastal bike trips
S Eul r7 then 4 then rutas 11 This routes takes us on chill-out minor roads out to Sant Carles using the Santa Eulalia routes 7 and 4, then after a coffee we make our way out to the cicloturismo rutas 11. This head off into the remoter north and lovely countryside, rolls around through Sant Joan, Sant Miquel and back into Santa Eulalia.
S Jos Rutas 12. This is the ‘Ibiza Extreme’ with a bit cut out so it can be down in a (long) afternoon. There are a couple of outstanding downhill paths as we go south to the coast, but around the coastline its a bit of a (pushing) slog. A nice, testing mixed circuit south of San Joseph.
St Agnes N coat hugger. A lovely 50km cruise around the North of the Island. It trys to hug the coastline from St Agnes up towards portinax, then goes into San Jose before great dirt track into San Carles and onto Santa Eulalia.
