Palma to Alcudia
After breakfast, we took a taxi (rank near our hotel) to Plaza de España which is in the business district and transport hub. We caught a direct bus to Alcudia on the northern coast. An hour trip for €9 pp.
We know nothing about this area except about the spectacular coastline and beaches.
The impressive town arch sparked our interest.
Arriving before check in time we had a light lunch across from our hotel, just minutes from the bus stop.

Only negative is we are on the second floor and no lift
Hot today 32o as we investigated the old town. Plenty of shady plazas and courtyards.
Excellent shopping opportunities!
Down one alley way we discovered the town wall. Only 1.5kms left of it but it used to encircle the whole town. It was built in 1300 by James 11 to protect the population from invading pirates.

From the wall, good views to the port and of the church of St Jaume (14th century)
Dinner in the hotel restaurant. The best so far.
