The Balearic Islands' municipal ordinances generally prohibit cycling on sidewalks, with fines from €40 to €100 depending on the town. Pedestrian zones are walkable but only at walking pace, with priority for pedestrians; signposted "bajar de la bici" segments require dismounting. Palma's old town and Sóller's plaza are the main spots where road cyclists get stopped — the rest of Mallorca is rural enough that this rule rarely applies.
