Excursion destinations from Ca’n Picafort
Alcúdia
20 minutes drive north and you will reach Alcúdia. The coastal town has a sophisticated marina that is perfect for a stylish lunch. About three kilometers inland is the old city wall. Here you can stroll through the narrow streets in medieval style to the impressive church of Sant Jaume. Nearby is Pollèntia, where the excavations and amphitheatre illustrate Alcúdia’s ancient Roman past.
Surrounded by medieval walls, the old town of Alcúdia is home to numerous well-preserved houses that date back to the 13th century. Famous for its cozy outdoor restaurants, the old town is best explored on foot because of its narrow streets and limited parking facilities. The neighborhood is a pedestrian zone and always populated by tourists. There is a market here twice a week, and there are countless small bistros offering a wide range of tempting local delicacies. Visit the remains of a Roman city just outside the old city walls.

Go underground to see one of the largest underground lakes in the world at the Cuevas del Drach. The four caves are located 25 m underground and extend over 2.4 km. Marvel at the impressive stalactite and stalagmite formations that adorn the floors and ceilings of the caves. Take a guided tour of the caves, which includes a boat ride across Lake Martel and ends with a four-piece live classical concert. The paths can be quite steep and slippery, so you should wear good hiking shoes.
Parc Natural de Mondrago
White sandy beaches, cliffs, oak forests and wetlands characterize the varied landscape of the Parc Natural de Mondrago. At the entrance to the park, inquire about the different routes proposed to explore the different ecosystems on foot or by bike.
