Alcúdia plans largely car-free old town – a sober assessment

Answer

How practical is a car-free old town in Mallorca for everyday shopping?

A pedestrian-friendly center can make walks quieter and more pleasant, but daily logistics still need to work. In places like Alcúdia, small shops depend on regular deliveries, and older residents may still need short access by car or taxi. A car-free plan only works well if loading, drop-off and exception rules are handled carefully.
