Safety guide for riding Coll de sa Batalla

Coll de sa Batalla is a forgiving climb: maximum gradient 8%, an average 5.5% over 8.1 km, and a road described as sheltered and consistent. The main risk is traffic. It is rated medium, and the MA-2130 meets the busy MA-10 near the top, where tourist cars and coaches head for Lluc and Sa Calobra. Look hard at the junction and use a rear light. The descent toward Lluc is wide and easy, so the real hazards are speed differences at junctions and cars pulling out near the monastery, not the road surface or gradient.
