A Day In Alcúdia
When I was planning our trip to Mallorca my plan was to not have a plan (AKA I wanted to basically bask in the sun with sangria in my hand 24/7). We spent the first day laying out at the pool, and jumping back and forth between the ocean and our hotel pool. It was perfect, and I never wanted it to end. The next day Joe was convinced we needed to go exploring, (we did rent a car after all), and I’m so glad Joe took to planning a visit to this little town, because it was my favorite place of the trip.

Alcúdia is a medieval town in the Balearic Islands of Mallorca with houses dating back to the 13th century. There’s a church built into the towns medieval walls that surround the cute, colorful town. The streets are so narrow that it’s basically a pedestrian-only town full of pastel hued buildings. We walked around for hours, and I couldn’t get over the colors, the historic architecture, and the beauty of it all. I mean, I know it’s called Alcúdia, but I’d call this place freakin’ AlCUTEdia ’cause it’s a damn pastel dream.
We walked, then ate lunch at one of the cute historic restaurants. We went to a random one we found, and then when I looked it up it said it was actually the first restaurant in Alcúdia. Not sure if that’s actually true, but there was a huge concentration of restaurants in one area (tons of tapas, seafood, and sangria) and I’m sure you could find something good just by walking around.

After lunch, we walked around, got gelato and walked around some more. It felt like we were discovered a new magical alleyway with each turn, and I didn’t want to leave.
