Lively in high season and relaxing in low season, Alcudia is a great place for a self-catering holiday. The heart of the old town, inside the walls, is now a pleasant pedestrian area of shady streets and ancient mansions, many of them converted into cafés and tapas bars. A lively market is held near here on Tuesday and Sunday.
Holidays to Mallorca offer the perfect opportunity to sample excellent fish and seafood dishes, naturally, and you'll find these restaurants lined up along the Port d'Alcudia region, where the wharfs of the old fishing village have been scrubbed up and retiled.
The old town is the place to head for fine dining, Mallorcan-style, with many family-run restaurants rich in atmosphere. The hotel zone features more of the 'cheap and cheerful' buffet-style affairs, but these are usually dependable, and, if in doubt, follow the crowds.
For a good selection of excellent value, reliable spots for lunch and dinner, a stroll along Avenida Pere Mas y Reus, in the hotel zone, will offer a dazzling variety of Spanish, Chinese, Italian and all manner of cuisine in between.
Pork-based dishes are popular in Mallorca, such as pork wrapped in cabbage, chorizo and seafood paella, or sobrasada (sausage with paprika). Try the restaurants within the walls of the old town for the best traditional dishes, and, around the port, have a look out for Las Sirenas, Paseo Maritimo - a classy restaurant with a terrace looking out over the yachts in the marina, or Bodega D'es Port, an upmarket tapas restaurant with a ceiling full of hanging Serrano hams.
