With a wealth of history and charm, Pollensa old town offers the visitor a more authentic Mallorcan experience for the visitor. Traditional fiestas & fairs rub alongside classical music festivals, and it has one of the best markets on Majorca. The town retains its old world charm with an eclectic mix of old and new creating a unique attraction in Majorca. There are lovely shops and some fantastic retaurants. The main pedestrian areas of the town is mostly accessible but there are a few slopes to negotiate as the town is built on a slight slope. There is a market on a Sunday which is very busy during peak season.

Alcudia is a perfectly restored walled city on the site of a Roman settlement. This is a gem of a place, a maze of narrow streets enclosed by medieval ramparts that have been carefully restored. Alcudia provides a real contrast to the more touristy beach resort of Puerto Alcudia. A couple of new boutique hotels have sprung up, and modern gastronomic restaurants provide a more interesting dining experience than you may experience in the Port.

During the summer, there are plenty of al fresco events, with dramatised tours of the town, and theatre productions in the old Roman amphitheatre. The Festival of Sant Jaume is held in July, and the Alcudia Jazz festival starts at the end of August and runs for a month.
