Seafront city of Alcudia is a mere 24 square miles (60 square kilometers) that has no attitude on how much this lovely port and olden city on the island’s nether area, can offer trip creators.
You can catch it, as the Romans did, in the northern touches of Mallorca about an hour or so away from Mallorca’s capital, Palma. Sure it doesn’t have the buzzy boozy nightlife of Magaluf – gratefully. Instead, it is home to gorgeous landscape, sufficiently of tradition, a lovely family friendly beach and a memorable art destination that is crying out to be found.

Old Town of Alcudia

The Hills got there in the 9th century and stayed for 300 years. They named this ancient hilltop city “Al-Quad” which means the hill in Arabic.They were overcome by King James I in 1298. But it was King James II who planned the 14th century quadrangular formed ramparts. The 6m high walls are still intact and they create a lovely stroll giving views over rooftops and private terraces. Its 1.5 km length is dotted with 26 towers and two gates – Porta de Xara and Porta de Mallorca – which have been open National Monuments.

Medieval Walls of the Old Town

They almost surround the compact old town whose quaint winding roads are stitched by sandstone design that looks cutest in the golden-hued late afternoon sunlight. Within them are a flurry of quaint shops and restaurants.

The Beach

Alcudia has a family friendly beach.The excellent wide-brimmed, soft-sand beach on Platja d’Alcúdia and is one of the lengthiest on the island. It’s ideal for young families because around here the beach has supportively shallow waters, especially by Playa De Muro. Yet it also offers unseen coves and impressive cliffs that feature along its 14km lengthy stretch all the way to Can Picafort. For the kids there’s a fun theme water park by the water’s edge, go-karting and crazy golf.

The Roman town of Ciudad de Pollentia

Sited close between Bahía de Pollensa and Bahía de Alcudia, and suitably close to old town of Alcudia are the remains of the Roman capital of the Balearic Islands. It’s called Ciudad de Pollentia (which means city of power, a name that provides an insight as to how the Romans perceived themselves).
