The port has classier establishments lining the harbour. There are also nice shops along the harbour where you can buy porcelain, jewellery and the like.
The harbour is pedestrianized and beautiful to walk along in the early evening. Also, every Sunday and Tuesday there is a market in the old town of Alcudia.
The ancient town of Alcudia, not to be confused with the modern resort two miles (3km) to its south, has a fascinating and turbulent history.The old town lies within a wall from centuries ago.
The walls are not Roman, but there are remains of a Roman town just outside the town walls, called Pollentia.
There is also a small Roman Ampitheatre; the smallest in all of Spain. The walled town is beautiful; much of it is pedestrianized and there are plenty of squares with places to eat and drink.
North of the walls is a bullring; although most fights are mock fights. Further north and west are many coves ideal for sunbathing or snorkelling.
Alcudia is around 35 minutes from Palma Airport and all but the last 5 miles or so are on a motorway. Other tourist’s attraction is one of the oldest churches of Mallorca, the Orator de Santa Anna.
Book a ferry to Alcudia with FerryTravels to have a great vacation in Alcudia’s white sandy beaches where you can rent pedaloes, parasails, banana boats, tubes and the like.
The sea is very shallow for a long time making it ideal for small kids, and there is little, if any, tide.
There are also bars/restaurants at regular intervals right on the beach. As the beach moves south it gets quieter but the sea is less calm as you move south.
