Alcudia is located in the north side of the island; the surroundings are offering a lot of exiting excursion destinations. Many of those places you can get by local bus of even on a bicycle, but the best way to see the island is to rent a car, and it is worth to renting one just to experience the North West coast.  When you travel by car you don’t need to worry of timetables and you can get into the most secluded places. Mallorca is enough large for you to have many nice day excursion or even longer trips.

Valldemossa, the village where Chopin spend some time and Soller, where you can get by train are villages which you shouldn’t miss.

On the east side of the island there are wide fields of almond and olive trees. Manacor is a city which is famous of the production of the Majorica-pearls. On the east coast you can find the famous drop stone caves of Mallorca. The biggest is in Porto Cristo (Coves del Drach), where locals believed that dragons were living.
