The retired Miquel Ferriol Estrany, 81, has very fond memories of the summers of the late 70s. “It was when TVE began to broadcast the Tour of Spain live and in color. With my father, I would sit in front of the television to watch it after lunch. He was particularly interested in the landscapes. He always told me: ‘I already rode many of these stages when I was young during the war’. It was one of the few occasions when he spoke about the Civil War. Later I learned that he had fought in the Peninsula with a cyclist battalion”.

Pedestrians Mallorca has accused Palma City Council of wanting to "discourage" bicycle use by updating BiciPalma fares starting August 1st, with an increase in both the annual pass and the fares for electric bicycles.
