Playa De Muro, Alcudia

Platja de Muro, is a relatively new resort development that lies at the centre of the If you do venture beyond your hotel grounds, the original old town of Alcudia, a further 2 miles inland from the coastal development, is certainly well worth a visit, with parts of the town dating back to around 1300.

What visitors may not realise however, is that it was the Phoenicians and Greeks who first settled here, closely followed in the 2nd century BC by the Romans, who made Alcudia the capital of the island.

Visitors to the old town today enter the narrow streets through one of the two gates that were constructed, along with the impressive city walls, after the conquest of the island by King Jaime I of Spain.

The best way to fully appreciate this side of Alcudia, is to take the 2 hour guided walking tour that is organised by the local tourist office every Wednesday starting at noon. The warm shallow waters of Alcudia Bay make Playa de Muro very popular with families with young children, and many of the hotels here have the added benefit of a direct beach front access.

The beach is without doubt a major attraction to this resort, with almost 8km of fine, clean sand, offering visitors a wide variety of water sport and other facilities to suit all tastes and abilities. magnificent Bay of Alcudia
