Hotels Alcudia - Majorca
What to see by car: Alcudia - Majorca
There is much to see on a typical drive around the fascinating island of Majorca,
from stunning beaches and lush mountainous areas to historic towns and quaint
villages. A short drive south of Alcudia is the elegant capital Palma - summering-place
of Spanish royalty. It possesses one of Spain's loveliest harbour views, dominated
by the great cathedral complete with flying buttresses. Close beside it stands
Palau de l'Almudaina, for many centuries a royal palace and seat of government.
Also on the seafront is the Gothic Llotja, or Exchange; its gracefully soaring
interior is today used for exhibitions. Behind, the city flows gently uphill
through a long series of Ramblas, or avenues - country cousins to the Ramblas
of Barcelona. The tangled old town to the east of the Ramblas is a feast of
ancient patios.
To the west of Alcudia is the charming mountain village of Soller, with its
old architecture, beautiful gardens and pleasant plazas. The main square in
town, the Plaça de la Constitucio, is the place to go for some excellent
eateries and watering holes. The train journey from Palma to Soller through
the Tramuntana mountains and lovely olive groves is particularly special, offering
some fantastic views along the way.
It can be difficult to find seclusion on a Majorcan beach; but the stretch of
coastline between Cala Bona and Cala Millor on the east coast of the island
has an offering of small sandy bays, ideal for peaceful sunbathing, which are
nestled between rocky outcrops.
Cala Bona is not a purpose-built resort and therefore retains the original
feel of a small fishing town; however, it is one of the best beach and leisure
areas on the island. Take a gentle stroll in the quaint old fishing town with
its original, narrow streets, down to the small working harbour around which
you will find a wide variety of open air cafés and bars.
