Alcudia
Built around the Roman settlement of Pollentia, Alcúdia grew into a historic town on Mallorca’s north coast. Pollentia, founded after the Roman conquest of the island in 123 BC, was one of Roman Mallorca’s principal urban centres; its archaeological remains lie beside the walled old town. Alcúdia’s medieval walls and gates still enclose a compact network of streets and squares. To the east, the broad Bay of Alcúdia forms one of the island’s principal coastal inlets, while the Cap de Formentor peninsula marks the northern edge of this part of Mallorca. The town stands between the bays of Alcúdia and Pollença, linking its fortified centre closely with the sea.

Alcudia is best known within Mallorca for its preserved medieval walls, which encircle one of the island’s historic old towns. Near Mallorca’s north coast and the Bay of Alcúdia, it stands apart from the beaches and resort district of Port d’Alcúdia along the bay’s shore. Beyond the gates, the archaeological site of Pollentia records a Roman settlement founded after Rome conquered Mallorca in 123 BC. Its surviving forum, houses and theatre reveal a much older layer beneath the town’s later fabric. The Church of Sant Jaume beside the walls adds to the compact character of the centre.

The Balearic Islands have served as a Mediterranean crossroads within Spain since antiquity. Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera lie in the western Mediterranean, each with a distinct coast shaped by coves, headlands and clear offshore waters. Mallorca’s Serra de Tramuntana forms a dramatic mountainous spine and is recognised as a UNESCO World Heritage cultural landscape. Menorca preserves remarkable prehistoric talayotic monuments, while Ibiza is internationally associated with electronic music and a historic walled old town. Maritime life, Catalan-language traditions and seasonal island rhythms remain central to the archipelago’s identity.

Spain extends from the Cantabrian coast to the Canary Islands, encompassing Atlantic shores, Mediterranean beaches and the broad interior Meseta. The Pyrenees form its northeastern frontier, while the Guadalquivir crosses Andalusia on its way to the Atlantic. Madrid anchors the country’s political and cultural life, but distinct regional identities are central to Spain’s character: Catalonia, the Basque Country, Galicia and Andalusia each have their own languages or strong local traditions. Granada’s Alhambra is a major monument of the medieval Nasrid dynasty, and Santiago de Compostela remains the destination of the Camino de Santiago.
