l'Alcúdia

Behind 14th-century walls that you can follow almost all the way round, the old town keeps the plan laid out when James II founded it in 1298, close to the ruins of Roman Pollentia. Down on the bay, the port and a beach some 14 km long have become one of Mallorca's main resorts. The walled centre, by contrast, is pedestrianised and holds markets on Tuesdays and Sundays.

Highlights

• Remains of Roman Pollentia and its small theatre, just outside the walls
• A walk along the top of the medieval town walls
• Festes de Sant Jaume in July, including the Night of the Romans
• Coastal paths from the Ermita de la Victoria up to the Talaia d'Alcúdia
• S'Albufera natural park, much loved by birdwatchers
