Alcudia - Mallorca

Situated near the northern tip of the Spanish island of Mallorca, the picturesque little town of Alcudia watches proudly over the adjacent bay. Alcudia has become one of the most visited villages in Majorca, boasting a charming atmosphere and a history dating back to a century BC. It is the fusion of Phoenician, Roman, Moorish and, of course, the vivid Spanish cultures which have shaped the area, and have given the town its distinctive identity.

Although Alcudia has opened up to tourism from the rest of Europe, it has remained antique the fact that it has not been taken over my large-scale tourist development means that visiting Alcudia is like travelling back to a time forgotten. The entire old town has been fully pedestrianized and great care has been taken to conserve its rich, deeply-rooted culture. A definite must-see attraction is Alcudias Moorish wall, a perfectly preserved site which encircles the inner town ever so breath-taking. Other historical sites of interest are the Roman theatre and the 300-year old bullring, located in towns northern flank. When you get a little peckish, why not grab some tapas or sit down to an exquisite Spanish menu in the centre of the old town? It will soon become clear why Alcudia is so special.

However, Alcudia also offers other types of activities. Due to the towns rather isolated location and its relatively compact size, it is an excellent place for mountain hiking and countryside trekking, as well as being perfect for a full exploration of Alcudia and its stunning surroundings. There is a golf course nearby for any golfing fanatics. For those seeking total relaxation and sunshine, why not head down to the beach the waters here are among the cleanest and clearest of the entire Mediterranean Sea. There is also a chance to explore the secretive coves and little sandy bays, or go for the snorkel of a life-time.
