Alcúdia.

What to do in Alcúdia Mallorca Spain

Life in Alcúdia turns around its compact pedestrian core inside King Jaume II's perimeter walls. Mornings belong to cafe cortados on Plaça de la Constitució and the Roman forum ruins at Pollentia. Afternoons slide toward swimming off the Victoria Peninsula or cycling the backroads. It suits travellers who want medieval stonework, real Balearic cooking, and sea access without resort sprawl.
