Discover Alcudia and Pollença.
Mallorca's
most northern towns have beautiful scenery stretching as far as the eye
can see, lively nightlife, renowned beaches and a rich architectural
heritage that dates back to Roman times.
Alcudia: Roman, artistic and seductive
The
small town of Alcudia is surrounded by a well-preserved Roman wall,
which contains the town's breathtaking beauty. Wander the streets of
Alcudia and lose yourself in their tranquil atmosphere, with only the
sound of other amblers breaking the peace.
Alcudia's
surroundings also offer many places of interest, including the Roman
city of Pollentia with its bridge, ruins and Roman theatre.
Pollença: beach, landscapes and literature
In
the neighbouring area of Pollença you'll find the Cabo de Formentor, a
viewpoint that runs for kilometres. It combines dizzying heights,
impressive views of the Mediterranean and Menorca, and some of
Mallorca's most rugged scenery.
Formentor
is the setting for a beach edged by pine trees, with sands lapped by
the Mediterranean sea. It's also the site of the historic Formentor
hotel, the mythical venue for discussions between 20th-century writers
such as, among others, Jorge Luis Borges and Carlos Fuentes.
Formentor's
pine-tree beach seems to embrace the waves that the Mediterranean
brings to its shore. Formentor is a wonderful 21st-century beach with a
hint of other times.
Alcudia and Pollença are two of Mallorca's irresistible charms. And they're within easy reach when you stay at the Prinsotel La Dorada Hotel in Play de Muro or the Prinsotel Mal Pas Hotel in Alcudia.
