From Historic Medieval Alcúdia to the Natural Park of S'Albufera

Like a knight or damsel of the Middle Ages, go up and stroll along the 1.5-kilometer stretch of the walls, which are, by the way, very well preserved. From there, a stone's throw away, approach the old gateway to the city, the Puerta del Muelle (Porta del Moll), access that was oriented towards the Port of Alcúdia, the exit to the sea of this historic city.
Alcúdia has a well-known street market that is held every Tuesday and Sunday from 8:00 to 13:30 hours in the Paseo Mare de Déu de la Victòria and its surroundings. In summer it extends through most of the old town. These are modern times and the products sold are not the same as in medieval times, but the surrounding environment will take you back several centuries among fruit stalls, textiles and regional crafts.
Take the opportunity in Alcúdia to buy some snacks (drinks and food) for a picnic on the beach in one of its grocery stores or supermarkets.

Alcúdia has an eminent medieval and Muslim past, although not many people notice the Roman site of Ancient Pollentia, a city founded in the 2nd century B.C. which is one of the best examples of the Roman period in all the Balearic Islands.
The city was built after the conquest of the island by the consul Quintus Caecilius Metellus and marks the beginning of urban life in Mallorca. Let your imagination fly and imagine yourself dressed in a tunic as you move between its Forum (city square), the Theater and La Portella (residential area).
Opening hours Tuesday - Friday: 9:30 - 21:00 (last access 20:00 hours) Saturdays - Sundays: 9:30 - 14:30 (last access 13:30 hours) Holidays: closed

Puerto de Alcúdia, in the northeast of the island, is one of the main tourist centers of the north of Majorca. Take a stroll accompanied by the sea at all times by its commercial and sports port. Look at the different types of boats moored there: sailboats, fishing boats, yachts, small boats...
Don't forget your bathing suit, towel, sunscreen and a cap, the beach awaits you with open arms.

Sun and beach lovers will be happy in Alcúdia. This area has more than 30 kilometers of coastline and 20 dream beaches. It is difficult to choose the best one because each of them has its plus. The beach of Alcúdia joins Puerto de Alcudia and Can Picafort.
Thanks to its 7 kilometers of fine white sand, it has the title of the longest beach in Mallorca. Calm waters, a width of about 200 meters, shallow depth -ideal if you go with your children in family- and has all kinds of basic services.

Beautiful white sand beach of 5 kilometers along the C-712 road linking Puerto de Alcúdia with Artá. Despite being so close to the road, a large bank of dunes acts as a protective barrier making it much quieter than other places in the area. This place is the best choice to plant your beach picnic. Enjoy!
Playa de Muro has a very famous wooden pier, for its beauty and for its triumphant photogenic character that have made it viral on Instagram. Yes, it may be an oft-repeated snapshot, but I have no doubt you want to have yours too.

Playa de Muro belongs to this natural park formed by a virgin marshy area with a great variety of native flora and fauna. The dunes we were talking about previously are about 10,000 years old while this wetland is about 100,000 years old.
This park is a festival of life: water channels with submerged plants, in the saline areas reeds and salt grasses, elms and poplars, native vegetation in its sandy areas, a great diversity of fungi, more than 300 species of birds, mammals such as bats, mice and rats, frogs, fish, snakes...

On this occasion, dinner with a very European schedule. As you know, in Spain people have dinner late, usually after 21:00 hours.
This Italian couple offers their diners a selection of classic Italian dishes prepared with typical local products of excellent quality. The fact that it is an Italian restaurant does not oblige them to serve pizzas -they do not include them in their menu- but that does not detract from a concise and very convincing menu. They have options for vegetarians, vegans and celiacs. Their wine list, with wines of all colors and strengths, is the result of their personal research. Few tables and a friendly service.
