Low grade climbing in Mallorca

Hi, my daughter and I are thinking of visiting Mallorca in September. We would like to find very low grade sport climbs (4's and easy 5's), happy with long-ish pitches, as long as the bolts are sensibly spaced, belays good, rock neither too loose, nor too polished. Can anyone please give me a steer of places worth a visit ?
Thanks,
Steve.

Not sure if this is exactly what you had in mind but it's a brilliant day out: Albahida (Gubia Normal) (4c)

La Creveta

I enjoyed this place - some good long, easy and enjoyable pitches.

Last time I was there, we visited Valdemosa, some new easy routes were put up, nice place just down the river a bit from the parking, cant remember the names, good for one day I would say.

No it was on the road to Valdemossa, S'Estret.

I would rather recommend the OP the multipitch 5s either side: Gubia Normal its a semi-trad route.

S'estret is a good bet. Cala Magraner has a few worthwhile low grade offerings too. I thought the 4s and 5s at La Creveta were pretty stiff at their grades, definitely great routes though.

+1 for Cala Magraner. Low stress sport climbing venue right by the sea.

Calvia has reasonable 4 to 5 routes. San Marti (near P Pollensa) has good value at the grade. The 4s at Creveta are VERY polished at the start. There are some very "interesting" routes at the grade on the crag above Felanix
