This park has different routes of various complexities, so it is best to start by getting to know the simplest route and moving to a more difficult route as you become more experienced.

Visit Alcudia market

The weekly market at Alcudia is one of the most unique markets in Mallorca and it is held twice a week by the town wall in the area by the ancient Roman city of Pollentia.
