Beautiful beaches are perfect for the little ones and historical ruins and quaint markets will suit those wanting to explore the area. Choose Alcudia for your holidays to Majorca!
Weather
No need for warm clothes if you come on holidays to Alcudia in the summer as you can expect hot, dry weather with temperatures regularly reaching 30° Celsius and above. The delightful sea breeze will keep hot days from becoming too unpleasant so when you are relaxing on the beach all you need is sun cream and a cool drink and you are good to go.

Attractions
Those wanting to explore the local culture while on holiday in Alcudia may want to start off by visiting the old town of Alcudia, to look at the impressive city walls and gain insight to this old culture. There is a 2 hour guided walking tour available for those that want to fully appreciate the old town. One of Alcudia's main attractions is the port area and to the west of the island you will find Porte D'Alcudia which is the old fishing village at the end of the beach. Why not pull up a chair at one of the seaside restaurants and try one of the delicious daily catches.
Shop-a-holic's on Alcudia holidays will enjoy the number of shops and boutiques available but the market held on Tuesday and Sunday mornings is definitely worth a visit.

Landscape
Boasting one of the longest beaches in Majorca, Alcudia's bay makes this a perfect resort with families because of it's fine, clean sand. There are plenty of cafes around the beach if you need a cool down or for those wanting a more active holiday, there are a number of water sports available. If that is not enough, why not climb Sa Talaia d'Alcudia which gives you impressive views of the bay.
History
Alcudia has an impressive history as it was the Phoenicians and Greeks who first settled here but then it was the Romans who made it the capital in the 2nd Century. The old town emphasises this history with stunning scenery which is far away from the modern aspects of the resort.
Tourism has of course been highly influential but the resort has managed to keep it's authencity even though it is a popular tourist destination.
Culture
There are many festival days which take place over the year in Alcudia and nearby Puerto Pollensa so check to see what is on before you go if you want to indulge in the local culture. If you are coming on holidays to Alcudia in July you can enjoy the Fest de Sant Jaume, where Caixers go through the streets on horseback wearing traditional costumes.
August is home to the festival of chinese lanterns where the youngest in the town go through the streets singing old Majorcan songs whilst carrying the lanterns.
