The climate in Alcúdia is Mediterranean, meaning that it experiences very hot and dry summers and slightly cooler and wetter winters. As the town is about a mile away from the coast, it can get very hot between June and August and lack any kind of cool breeze from the ocean, so if you’re looking for a time to visit when the weather is ideal for sightseeing, May or September are the best months.
Sightseeing is the number one thing to do in Alcúdia because of the rich range of different historic attractions. If you want to get more involved with local culture, there is an open-air market held twice a week that sells everything from fresh food to handcrafted gifts, which is ideal if you’re looking for ingredients for a meal or souvenirs to take home.
Alcúdia is also a great location to enjoy local food and drink, with plenty of restaurants and cafes around the town that serve a range of Mallorcan dishes. As well as the market, there are lots of small shops and boutiques around the streets that are great to explore in the afternoons, whether you’re looking for clothes, jewellery or art.
If you’re interested in the history then visiting the Old Town should be at the top of your list of things to do in Alcudia. The grand house Casas Señoriales is a highlight of the town’s historic architecture, once home to the nobility of the area.
A place that many of Alcúdia’s visitors go to is the nearby Roman city of Pollentia, which is full of brilliant preserved buildings that include Spain’s smallest Roman amphitheatre.
