Water refill points in Inca
Inca’s mapped water points all sit in and just around the town, so this is one convenient area rather than a route-long spread. For a cyclist that matters, because Inca is the crossroads of Es Pla: the last flat town before the road up through Caimari to Lluc, and the natural regroup on a Palma-to-Alcúdia day.
Use it as a deliberate fill, not a top-up. The climb to Lluc from this side is long, largely shadeless and has no mapped public water on it, and the flat run east across Es Pla is hotter than it looks because there is nothing to break the sun. Both bottles full in Inca is the right default in summer, whichever way you are heading.
The points are spread across the town centre and its edges rather than concentrated in one square, which is useful: if the nearest one is dry, the next is a few streets away rather than a change of plan. Nothing about spout height or flow is in the data, so expect the usual mix of low drinking spouts and taps that take a bidon cleanly.
These are OpenStreetMap records maintained by volunteers, and the date under the answer above is when we last pulled the data rather than when anyone checked the tap. Have your next option picked out on the island-wide drinking-water and bottle-refill map before you leave town, see the Inca town page for what else is mapped in the same streets, and for the climb to Lluc in the heat see our cycling safety guidance for Mallorca.
Common questions
Is the water at these points drinkable?
There is no water-quality field in the dataset, so this page will not tell you that a given point 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 d’Inca is who to ask.
Do I need money or a token?
No. These are public street taps: free, unstaffed and open to anyone with a bottle. Nothing special is required beyond what is already in your cages, though a soft flask is easier than a rigid bidon at the lower spouts.
Can I rely on these for a long day into the Tramuntana?
Use them to leave Inca full, not as a supply line. Once you turn towards Selva, Caimari and Lluc there is no mapped public water until you are over the top, and the flat roads east are just as exposed. Plan the day around the villages you will pass and treat the climb itself as dry.
