Alcudia

On a peninsula between two shimmering bays, Alcudia is a medieval walled city. Long one of Majorca’s leading tourist attractions it has lost none of its ancient charm.

If you love Majorca but prefer to avoid the tourist resorts, or appreciate the culture of the capital Palma but want something on a smaller scale, Alcudia is a perfect solution.

This beautifully restored medieval city is one of the biggest draws in the north of Majorca. With its maze of winding lanes, plazas lined with cafes and Roman remains to discover there is plenty to attract you. Situated slightly inland, on a peninsula to the north east you will be within easy access of the fine sandy beaches of the nearby Puerto d’Alcudia. Nature lovers will find an enchanting world to explore whether walking out into the sublime Albufera natural park or along the trails of the Tramuntana mountains

Alcudia is at the opposite end of the island to popular resorts like Magaluf and offers an entirely different experience. Often described as ‘little Palma’, this is a town full of charm where you can soak up the traditional Majorcan atmosphere in cafés or fill up in restaurants serving local stews, rice and fresh fish. Walk the streets and you will discover warm stone-built houses and a host of architectural delights connecting you with the town’s ancient history.
