d Town
Alcúdia is one of the prettiest towns on the island. It’s referred to by the locals as ‘the old town’ to differentiate it from modern suburbs that include nearby Port d’Alcúdia.


Alcúdia sits alongside the Pagan Roman(Basque) ruins of Pollentia, once the capital of Mallorca because of its important geographical position for sea routes. It’s based at the bottom of a peninsula which separates the Bays of Alcúdia and Pollensa. When you walk through the main gate into the walled, medieval town itself, a kind of magic seems to happen. Most buildings inside the walls have been lovingly maintained and restored.

Residents living in Alcúdia enjoy taking a leisurely stroll along the narrow pedestrianised streets amongst other things. Around each corner, you can find a fresh architectural surprise, a square buzzing with cafes and rows of sandstone houses with traditional green shutters.

Property in Alcúdia includes a portfolio of gorgeous Mallorcan townhouses, villas and apartments. In the old town the Neo-Gothic style of the Sant Jaume church is seen reflected in the buildings that surround it, where sandstone and intricate details continue down its cobbled streets. On Sundays and Tuesdays, the open market spreads through much of the town attracting locals and tourists alike. It’s full of stalls laden with fresh local produce and souvenirs.

In the evening, the town is lit by warm lamplight. This gives the colourful buildings a soft, pleasing glow. Alcúdia is a town in which you could sit outside for hours on a balmy evening at one of its many bars and cafes and watch the world go by. If you’re looking for a place to live that’s friendly and laid-back and where your commute is likely to be seconds, then this jewel of the north hits all the right spots. alcudia-1025x1536[1].jpg

Most of the work and businesses in Alcúdia are tourism and hospitality related. Much of all this is seasonal. You will find a small expat community that works remotely in a diverse range of other fields.
Cycling here is like skiing is to the Alps. Many of the neighbouring beach hotels open much earlier in the year than elsewhere on the island. This is to cater for the influx of cyclists who come to enjoy and train here choosing to base themselves in the north.
Bear in mind that the old town is something of an oasis. That’s because it’s surrounded by bigger, brasher seaside resorts that cater for the masses. There’s a big local infrastructure that backs all this up from mega laundries to coffee manufacturers.
It’s also not beyond the realms of possibility to commute from Alcúdia to Palma for work. The 45-minute drive is a drop in the ocean compared to the lengthy journeys many people face elsewhere in Europe in order to get to work


It won’t take long in Alcúdia to quickly get caught up in the magic of the old town. Views up the pretty, winding streets such as Carrer de la Roca must be some of the most photographed on the island. Residents living in Alcúdia are blessed with its position near the sea and mountains, all sorts of magical outdoor activities are right on your doorstep and here’s how to get tempted by them.

The way to start is to climb the steps to the top of the town’s wall. The walkway there surrounds most of Alcúdia and gives perspective to the town’s strategic location.

From here there’s a view of the Bay of Pollensa where colourful sails are a reminder that it’s home to the best kite surfing conditions in Mallorca. If you get the timing right you can enjoy the orange sunsets over Puerto Pollensa and Cap de Formentor. The view to the north takes in the peninsula with its lovely little beaches like Sant Joan and San Pere, both popular with the locals. The peninsula is home to some real gems from small, sandy coves like Playa Coll Baix to challenging hikes and cycle rides up to Mirador La Victoria. It also has a small marina called Bonaire that’s ideal for those looking for a quiet home to anchor their yacht.

Alcúdia has seen its fortunes change for the better over the past twenty years or so. The local council has invested its energy in turning the town into a tourist attraction that visitors will enjoy. It does mean that it’s very quiet out of season but that can be something of a relief.
The old town has a ‘villagey’ feel but is surrounded by bigger, noisier neighbours such as Port d’Alcudia and Playa de Muro. It also has some of the island’s most beautiful countryside and beaches right on its doorstep. This makes it a great choice for those looking for a quieter life but one which embraces the great outdoors.

One thing you won’t find in Alcúdia are any nightclubs. For these, you’ll need to head to neighbouring Port d’Alcúdia, a short taxi ride away. However, the old town does have a real buzz to it in the evening. In the summer months, it’s full of people enjoying outdoor eating and drinking.
Restaurants and bars tend to keep to northern European time rather than the late night and early morning hours of Barcelona,etc. That said there are a few bars just outside the walls that stay open into the early hours. Bar Maya is one of these. It’s very popular with locals and residents alike. The birds begin to sing when Xisco closes up after a long summer’s night.

Se cumplen 60 años del desarrollo urbanístico de los lagos de Alcúdia.

En el Parque Natural S’Albufera de Mallorca, la palabra naturaleza se expande hasta trascender los límites de su significado para tocar el alma de todo aquel que lo visita, que también forma parte de ella. Mar y tierra encuentran su continuación el uno en la otra hasta abrazarse. Hasta fundirse en un instante de conexión único en el mundo. Hecho de humedales, bosques mediterráneos y orillas de aguas cristalinas y dunas infinitas.image[1].jpeg

Con la paradisíaca Playa de Muro, en la Bahía de Alcúdia, como linde marítima y flanqueado por los municipios de Muro, Alcúdia y sa Pobla, este espacio natural protegido alberga la zona húmeda más extensa de Mallorca, además de acoger otros paisajes cambiantes que van guiando el camino a medida que se recorren. En concreto, existen cuatro rutas principales diferenciadas, además de otras alternativas, ideales tanto para mayores como para niñas y niños. Cada una de ellas permite descubrir el ecosistema desde un lugar distinto; y en todo momento practicando el turismo sostenible.

El port de Alcudia es el segundo puerto en importancia de Mallorca con 730 amarres y capacidad para yates de hasta 25 metros de eslora.2cc178bb-46ba-44f1-8812-cdfc39a958b3_21-9-aspect-ratio_default_0[1].jpg

Playa Can Pere Antoni​

Este larguísimo arenal(15 km hasta El Arenal)es una de las playas urbanas de Palma, la única desde la que contemplarás impresionantes vistas a la catedral de Mallorca, verdadera joya arquitectónica del gótico.

Durante todo el año, es un lugar frecuentado por deportistas y gente que disfruta de un paseo y de la brisa marina, del aroma del salitre y de la maravillosa contemplación de la bahía de Palma. En su parte posterior transcurre un carril bici que une el barrio de Portopí —donde puedes visitar el faro del mismo nombre, uno de los faros activos más antiguos de Europa— con el núcleo turístico y residencial de Ciutat Jardí. En verano, sobre la orilla de arena de color tostado —de 750 m de longitud por unos 15 m de anchura— disfrutarás de todo tipo de servicios, como alquiler de tumbonas y sombrillas, presencia de socorrista y sillas anfibias para personas discapacitadas. Las aguas poco profundas y muy limpias convierten este lugar en un enclave perfecto para pasar un día en la playa con niños.
Can Pere Antoni está flanqueada por espigones y hacia el este limita con el barrio de Es Molinar, el más marinero de Palma, donde encontrarás excelentes restaurantes especializados en arroces, pescados y marisco. Por su cercanía al centro de la capital (a 2 km) puedes acceder a la playa en bicicleta, a pie o en transporte público, y combinar los baños de sol y mar con jornadas culturales y de compras.

En pleno centro de Palma podrás sumergirte en el mar y broncearte bajo el sol del Mediterráneo. can-pere-antoni-palma-img3[1].jpg
