Puerto Alcudia and its Environs

Alcudia is situated in the northeastern part of Alcudia Bay in Majorca - the biggest of the Balearic Islands. The present name of the town is of Arabian descent. The Arabs, much the same as the Romans previously landed in the Bay, in the North of the island on the ruins of the town Pollenca. Here they founded a new settlement, which they called “Town on the Hill”.

Perfectly preserved middle age town walls offered protection against pirate assaults. The gates Porta de Sant Sebastia and Porta de Xara lead into the town centre. Within the town walls there is a number of houses of the town nobles. A wonderful town hall houses the municipal authority. Twice a week (Sunday and Tuesday) a market in front of the town walls is open. This has become a great tourist attraction.

Walking around Puerto Alcudia (some 2 kilometres away from Alcudia) one can feel the atmosphere of an old fishing port. A little and cosy marina, a “corso” lined with many restaurants and wonderful beaches, adds to the charm and holiday flair of Alcudia. Apart from watersports Alcudia and its environs offer a variety of active leisure time: tennis, golf, horseriding, paragliding, mountainbiking and attractive hiking footpaths.

Leisure Time

In addition to watersports Alcudia and its environs offer many opportunities to engage in active vacationing: tennis, golf, paragliding, mountain biking and interesting hiking footpaths. For people who prefer to make things easy, the magnificent sandy beach and the water (in summer 25° C) and the sun create a perfect place for bathing and sunbathing. A wide and sandy beach gently shelving into the sea, with virtually no waves at all, make the place a safe haven, especially for kids.

Alcudia and its environs offer a number of diving schools, where you can get an “Open Water Diver” international diving license. The Bay of Alcudia and Pollenca offer excellent conditions for kitesurfing. Puerto Alcudia has a large hydropark. Once again you are on the carousel of watersports.
