RECOMMENDED AIRPORT

Alcúdia is an old town in the north of Mallorca Island in the Balearic Islands. It is the main tourist center in the North Majorca. Palma de Mallorca Airport is located in 60 km from it. The town is well preserved with houses dating back to the 13th century and a 14th-century wall that surrounds it. It is the main tourist center in northern Mallorca, especially popular among families. Most of the hotels are located in Port d'Alcúdia and Platja d'Alcúdia along the 14km/9mi-long beach. Tourists can see a small Roman theatre, a bull ring from the 19th century, and enjoy the festival of St. Jaume (every summer), as well as outdoor theater and traditional bullfighting. The Triennial of Sant Crist that is held once every three years, is also worth visiting: a religious procession where slowly walk barefoot in silence through the town for several hours. This place is ideal for scuba diving. Most of the dive sites are located along the cliffs of the two peninsulas that form the Bay of Pollença, Cap Formentor, and Cap Pinar, famed for their rock formations and the large number of caves, tunnels, and holes. A tiered sea bed with gradual slopes and ledges at different depths, many underwater caves, archways, walls, and rich marine life makes it an ideal diving area for divers of all experience levels. Divers can also go on daily speed-boat trips for snorkeling and explore the stunning underwater variety of this destination.
