Hiking on the Alcudia Peninsula

Hiking on the Alcudia Peninsula

The Alcudia Peninsula in northern Mallorca offers a mix of landscapes, including rugged cliffs, sandy beaches, pine forests and rural villages. This hike allows you to connect with nature and immerse yourself in the beauty of Mallorca's north coast. "Sa Talaia" means watchtower, and the peak's name has its reason. At 446 m above sea level the circular base of an old 16th-century tower is still preserved, and a little further down two huts remain where soldiers sought refuge during the Civil War. It was a watchtower that controlled the part of the bay that was not visible from Sa Penya Roja. It was exposed to storms and especially lightning strikes, and was already in poor condition when the military destroyed it in 1918.
