The medieval town of Alcudia stands within an ancient Moorish fort wall from centuries ago. A great day out at the Alcudia Old Town and experiencing the authentic Majorcan life by visiting the reconstructed ramparts and walls, the two impressive gates, the Palma or Sant Sebastia Gate and the Xara or Del Port Gate is worth a visit and see and one of the best things to do in Alcudia. Below are some of the pictures of Alcudia town to give you some idea of what the expect in the old town.
The Church of Sant Jaume (St. James’) is a magnificent sight as well.
One mile on the south, in the direction of the harbour, is the Roman Theatre, the smallest of its kind in Spain, its tiers carved out of the rock in a small declivity.
Holidaymakers may spend time at the variety of cafes and restaurants at the square of the town. It is much better to visit the Alcudia Old Town on the local market days that are on Tuesdays and Sundays between 10.00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
