Travel guide to Alcudia - Mallorca



Alcudia Beach
The historical old town of Alcudia nestles along the southern part of the bay of Pollensa and behind mountainous headlands. Some 4 miles from Puerto Pollensa, Alcudia has the same magic as the town of Pollensa. Home to the Roman ruins of Pollentia, Alcudia boasts some very fine restaurants and cafes. Unlike Pollensa, which is detached from its port, Puerto Alcudia is more or less attached to the old town, so movement between the two is that much more straightforward. Many visitors take an Alcudia holiday for the beach alone with its 11 km of curving white sand that shelves gently into the sea. Alcudia nightlife is centred around the local bars and night-clubs.
Magaluf
Due to its priviledged geographical position, Alcudia, has witnessed the passing of many different cultures of the Mediterranean. For this reason it offers a wide range of culture, history and architecture. You can also enjoy its traditions and scenery, without forgetting the wide range of sports facilities and gastronomy. As Magaluf in South Mallorca, Alcudia is just what you would expect from a beach holiday, with a range of nearby cultural sites to visit as well. There is the walled town of Alcudia itself, with Roman ruins where a lovely Sunday market is held regularly. The port of Alcudia and the old fishing village are at the northern end of the beach. Here you will find a tight grid of streets with restaurants and gift shops lining the sea front and more traditional Spanish style shops and cafés in the streets behind, with an abundance of seafood restaurants in all areas.

The Albufera, a marshy wetland, is a wildlife reserve popular with birdwatchers and is a ten minute drive away from Alcudia. The spectacular mountainous region in the west of the island towards the old town of Pollensa is a 15 minute drive. Further a field there are unspoilt mountain villages with stunning scenery, beaches and coves off the beaten track. Palma de Mallorca, is just 50 kilometres away. When you leave the Majorca airport take the motorway in the direction of Palma. Before arriving to Palma itself you will see a turn-off stating "Andratx / Pto. de Alcudia", take this turn- off and continue until you find another turn-off stating "Inca / Pto. Alcudia". Take this turn-off and you will find yourself on the main road which leads to Alcudia, passing through the town of Inca.


The main beach in Puerto Alcudia is one of the finest to be found in the whole Mediterranean, and the resort boasts a multitude of bars, restaurants and shops. There are really two main parts to Puerto Alcudia (three if you include the small resort of Alcanada which adjoins it and is home to the wonderful 18 hole golf course, Golf Alcanada. The port itself has a wide cosmopolitan promenade and
a marina. There is a very good atmosphere, especially in the evenings. The second part of Puerto Alcudia is formed by the areas known as Ciudad Blanca and Magic. This area is unashamedly touristic but it is extremely popular, and there is something here for everyone.

Many of the beaches on Mallrca are wonderful and a large proportion of these are small coves. If however you prefer a longer area of fine golden sand, where you can walk or particpate in sports, then you will be impressed by the fabulous beaches at Puerto Pollensa and at Puerto Alcudia. The activities in Alcudia are mainly focused along the spectacular five-mile (eight km) beach that fronts the resort. All sorts of watersports can be arranged from scuba diving to banana rides. There are tennis and squash courts in the resort and nearby attractions include a water park, a go-kart track and horse riding stables. There are choice of golf courses nearby. Boats trips can be arranged to the stunning Formentor promontory where passengers can snorkel or simply take in the views. Private boat charters are also available. The nearby towns of Pollensa and Alcudia (old town) and the mountain village of Lluc are worth exploring in search of a little culture, while those looking to get away from it all can take a trip to the mountainous western side of Mallorca island.
