The Balearic Island resort of Port d'Alcudia is situated towards the northern end of Majorca at the top of a long curving bay with an endless white sandy beach. It is two miles south of the historical old town of Alcudia, from which it takes its name. The extensive, purpose-built resort, together with the neighboring resort of Playa de Muro, stretches for five miles on either side of the coastal road and is particularly popular with British, German and Scandinavian families. It has a relaxed atmosphere and is popular for its spectacular beach, though it is also very well placed for exploring the attractions around the northern part of the island.

Culture in Alcudia

The ancient town of Alcudia, not to be confused with the modern resort of Alcudia two miles to its south, has a fascinating and turbulent history. The Phoenicians and Greeks settled here and the Romans made it their capital in the 2nd century BC. Destroyed by the Vandals in the 6th century it was rebuilt again by the Moors before being liberated by King Jaime I of Spain in the early 1200s. The Spanish sensibly fortified the city; its massive city walls date from this era. Today visitors still enter the narrow streets of the old town through one of the two gates, which are guarded by large towers. Near the town, at Polentia, is a well preserved Roman amphitheatre and the Orator de Santa Anna, one of Majorca's oldest churches.

The resort's best restaurants are primarily in the port area, where diners can find some excellent Spanish, French and seafood restaurants within a beautiful harbor setting.
