Water refill points in Bunyola
Bunyola’s mapped drinking-water points all sit inside the village core, within a couple of streets of each other. That makes them one stop rather than a spread of options — but it is a well-placed stop: Bunyola is the last village before the Coll de Sóller climbs away, and the last easy water on the Orient valley road.
Ride the numbers in your favour. Because the points are clustered, a dry tap costs you a minute of village lanes rather than a decision about whether to carry on. Fill both bottles here even if you feel fine: on the Coll de Sóller and on the road through Orient towards Alaró there is nothing mapped between the villages, and the switchbacks are slow, hot work in summer.
The village is compact and the roads through it are narrow, so pick a spot where you are out of the traffic before you unclip. Nothing about spout height, flow or shade is recorded in the data, which means you should expect anything from a low drinking spout to a wall-mounted tap that takes a bidon cleanly.
These records come from OpenStreetMap and are maintained by volunteers; the date under the answer above is when we last pulled the data, not when anyone tested the tap. Check the island-wide drinking-water and bottle-refill map for your next option before you start the climb, see the Bunyola town page for what else is mapped in the village, and for riding the Coll in heat see our cycling safety guidance for Mallorca.
Common questions
Is the water at these taps drinkable?
The dataset has no water-quality field, so this page will not tell you that a given tap is potable — only that it is mapped as a public drinking-water point. Judge it where you stand: skip a spout that smells odd, is taped or covered, or sits in standing water. For mains water quality in the municipality, the Ajuntament de Bunyola is who to ask.
Are these free to use, and do I need anything with me?
They are public street taps, so they are free and unstaffed. Bring the bottles you already have — nothing else is needed. Spout shapes vary, so expect to lose a little water at the low ones, and a soft flask is easier than a rigid bidon if the spout sits close to the ground.
Is there water further up the Coll de Sóller or towards Orient?
Nothing mapped between the villages. On the Coll your next reliable water is at the far end in the Sóller valley, and the Orient road is village-to-village with a bar rather than a fountain as the realistic stop. Fill in Bunyola and treat the climb as a dry section.
