About Alcúdia

Alcúdia's old town keeps its medieval walls and gates, with the Roman city of Pollentia and its small theatre just outside. The long beach of the bay runs south from the port, and the s'Albufera wetland behind it is a haven for birds. The Formentor peninsula and its lighthouse lie to the north, and the Tramuntana mountains are within an hour's drive. Spring and autumn give warm sea and quiet streets, July and August are the busiest, and winter is mild and calm.
