Alcudia is rich in history and places of interest. Attractions here are found at every turn. Of course, only a few fragments of the walls have survived to this day, but the gates have survived - even today you can look into ancient Alcudia under the arches. In the Old City you will find many buildings from the 13th-15th centuries. Today they house restaurants, retail outlets and even residential premises. Alcudia is an ancient city, to explore which it is better to go on a tour on foot. You can make tours of various durations with a guide or on your own by purchasing a card.
The most popular part that Alcudia boasts is the port and the Ciudad Blanc or the "Golden Mile". There is Lake Esperanza, the Bellevue complex and many bars and restaurants. The Playa Alcudia beach is covered with capes from all sides. Therefore, the wind almost does not come here and there are few waves, the sea is calm. Parents with children like to stay here very much, knowing that the deep sea is still far away. Mallorca, in principle, attracts couples.
What to see?
- When visiting Alcudia, don't forget to visit the Albufera Natural Park, located on Playa de Muro. There are a lot of birds in this park, for them it has become a home. Entrance is free and there is parking.
- Any family resort can not do without a water park! Alcudia invites you to the water park, with rides, safe pools and other entertainment for the whole family.
- If you look at the map of Alcudia, you can see that the resort is divided into parts by the busy Ma-12 highway, so there is no city center in the usual sense. On the beach you will find everything you need for active water sports such as windsurfing.
- Many years ago, Alcudia was the main fortress of Mallorca, many times defended the island from the raids of pirates and other enemies. Today, the city is half destroyed. In addition, the local nature is impressive. By the way, on Alcudia the best photos are obtained in nature and in the old town.
- A feature of the resort is that modern buildings, dressed in plastic and glass, are combined with buildings of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries - the church of Parroquial and San Jaime, palaces and residential buildings, the ruins of the amphitheater of the city of Polenty. From the observation decks of Polensa bay you can see the ruins. In this bay, subtle natures and artists who crave silence and inspiration love to relax.
An excellent example of family entertainment. If you have a desire, you can rush to the neighboring island of Menorca by ferry for a change. The journey will take about 2.5 hours, and you need to pay 59 euros if you return on the same day. Moreover, many excursions are organized daily from the port.
beach holiday
The water temperature throughout the year does not fall below 16 degrees and heats up to 25. In addition, Mallorca receives cruise ships here, but not often.
Alcudia is known for its beaches, which are considered the best of the Mediterranean. The water here is very clean, the first 10m is shallow, and then deep waters begin. For little ones, there is no better beach than what Mallorca has to offer. However, snorkelers are not very interested here. An interesting underwater world is best observed on the beaches near the city, especially if you have a car - it will be easier to get there. By the way, on the beaches located in the distance there are fewer visitors and you can better relax.
Wherever you are on the beach, restaurants, pubs and bars will always be somewhere near you. Mallorca offers a fairly shallow sea, the sand is warm, the sun has time to warm the water well in depth, so swimming here is absolutely safe for children. The Mediterranean Sea washes sandy beaches with turquoise waters and gives tourists the opportunity to explore the underwater world. Diving and windsurfing are very popular here. On the beach and in hotels there is the necessary equipment, and instructors will always tell you and teach you how to dive and breathe underwater. So you can start learning to swim in depth at any time.
The city will leave you with the best impressions. A quiet pastime on the beaches will periodically be replaced by a fairly rich program thanks to excursions, hiking, water parks, and for young people - nightclubs. Mallorca is different.
