Roads on Mallorca are generally in good condition. They range from multi-lane highways to narrow, winding mountain roads in the Tramuntana range.
Mountain roads, while scenic, require careful driving due to sharp turns and steep gradients. Be aware of cyclists, as many routes are shared with vehicles.
Parking can be challenging in town centers, especially in Pollençan Old Town. Utilize designated car parks on the outskirts; it is often easier to park and walk.
