Surrounded by a medieval wall, Alcudia Old Town contains numerous well-preserved houses dating all the way back to the 13th century. Famous for its cozy alfresco restaurants, this old quarter is best explored on foot because of its narrow streets and limited parking. Pedestrianized and always packed by tourists, the neighborhood is home to a twice-weekly market and myriad tiny bistros known for serving a wide range of tempting local delicacies. Visit the remains of a Roman town just outside the old wall, and be sure to stop by the Church of Saint Jaume, a minor Gothic masterpiece.

Just a magical place! We were there in December so it was very quiet and most things were closed, but that made it pretty special to wander around. Walking on the wall gives you wonderful views both inside the city and the surrounding areas. It looked like there would be lots of eateries and shops normally that might be fun but the area could also get pretty congested in busy times!

Super cool place and great opportunity for picturesque shots of the surrounding area. Pretty amazing to just walk around on such an old site. There are some signs detailing some of the history and architecture, but was more interested in just walking on the elevated areas and taking in the views. Parents of small children beware: this may be a bit stressful as the back side of the elevated walk is only protected by wire. The walkway is wide enough and they are strong wires, but I imagine it could be nerve wrecking with younger kids.
