Limestone peaks adorned with wild rosemary, tall pines and olive trees. Lush valleys filled with citrus groves and vineyards that sweep down to the sea. Remote mountain towns and chic beachfront promenades. The poet Robert Graves called Mallorca his home. "Perfect tranquility reigns," he said of this place. Bike these scenic roads. Enjoy a post-ride siesta under the sun. Yes, Mr. Graves, indeed.
