A lovely short trip for nature lovers and active connoisseurs. Explore the surroundings of Alcudia and Can Picafort on foot and by bike. The north of Mallorca is characterised by small villages, a rural atmosphere and gentle landscapes. Small bays and beautiful sandy beaches invite you to take a break for a swim. The nature parks of Sa Albufereta and S’Albufera are paradises for birds and people alike, albeit from different perspectives. Experience a completely different perspective on being during a meditation workshop on a finca.
You will spend the first few days in the medieval old town of Alcudia. Afterwards, Can Picafort, picturesquely situated by the sea, is your starting point for daily activities.
Off to Mallorca
At 06.00 am you fly with Luxair to Palma de Mallorca and arrive there at 7.55 am (flight time approx. two hours). Your local tour guide will welcome you with a warm “Hola!”, after which you will drive together to
the hotel (approx. 58 kilometres/approx. 1 hour drive). After checkin,
you will meet with your guide and receive information about the trip over a welcome drink. Overnight stay at the Hotel/turismo interior Alcudia Petit*** in Alcudia.
Bike tour: Alcudia/Puerto Alcudia
The best way to get to know an unknown place is to explore it at your
own pace. So today you cycle through the small town of Alcudia – founded by the Romans, then Moorish, later home to wealthy merchants and noble families – and its surroundings. You will discover
the various neighbourhoods, the picturesque harbour and the Alcanada district in a relaxed and unhurried manner. Along the way, you will stop time and again to admire beautiful corners, stroll along the well-preserved medieval city walls or treat yourself to a delicious coffee. In Alcanada, you can enjoy a Mallorcan picnic by the sea. You will be back at the hotel around 4.00 pm. (B, LB)
Cycling route: approx. 30 kilometres, easy, flat/asphalted
Overnight stay at Hotel/turismo interior Alcudia Petit***.
Hike through the bird paradise of Sa Albufereta
From the hotel you hike to Sa Albufereta. The path first leads to the
beautiful beach of Sa Marina and from there to Sa Albufereta. The wetlands and lagoons between Alcudia and Puerto de Pollensa are a paradise for birds – and equally a paradise, an oasis of peace for people. On the way back you have lunch in a cozy restaurant. (B, L)
Hiking route: approx. 9 kilometers, easy, flat/asphalted, paved and
sandy paths.
Overnight stay at Hotel/turismo interior Alcudia Petit***.
Meditation and inner peace on a finca
You start your excursion today on foot. The path leads along one of the most beautiful coasts of Alcudia. You pass picturesque harbors
and small white sandy beaches with crystal clear water. The destination is a finca, beautifully situated in the countryside, a place of
peace and relaxation. Traveling without a motor also means reducing
the speed. At the finca you can take part in a workshop that encourages silence. During meditation in a natural environment you
will experience a moment of great spirituality. “Meditation allows us to
connect with our essence and our nature,” explains Masio. After lunch
in the open air, you walk to a beautiful beach with white sand. A paradise, made for a long swim break – enjoy the crystal clear water! (B, L)
Hiking route: approx. 5 kilometers, easy, flat/asphalted, paved and
sandy paths.
Overnight stay at the Hotel/turismo interior Alcudia Petit***.
By bike to the Albufera bird paradise and Can Picafort
After breakfast, check out and leave your luggage at reception (it will
be picked up later and taken to the boutique hotel Llaut). At around
10:30 a.m., you start your bike tour from Alcudia to Can Picafort. The
next highlight awaits you on the way: the S’Albufera Nature Park – this
park is also a bird paradise with more than 200 species, and one of
the most important ecosystems in the Balearic Islands. After arrival
and check-in, there is time for a refreshing swimin the sea. (B)
Cycling route: approx. 25 kilometers, easy, flat/asphalted, paved and
sandy paths.
Overnight stay at the boutique hotel Llaut**** in Can Picafort.
Son Real: A hiking excursion into history
The historic Son Real estate covers almost 400m2, beautiful, partly
pine-covered hiking trails lead to the former estate and the fenced
pastures – where black pigs still roam today – and a beautiful, natural
beach. The necropolis of the same name, located near the sea, and
other prehistoric rock tombs tell of the burial rites of the
Talayot culture. A varied day of hiking with many discoveries and a
Mallorcan picnic in a beautiful spot. (B, LB)
Hiking route: approx. 11 km, easy, flat/mostly paved and sandy paths.
Overnight stay at the boutique hotel Llaut**** in Can Picafort.
By bike through rural Mallorca
Today’s bike tour will show you the beauty of rural Mallorca. You will
cycle along cultivated fields, through small villages and beautiful hilly
landscapes to the village of Muro. Around 1300 (AD) the town was
granted city rights, rich citizens and nobles lived in Muro and built
stately homes. Thanks to the fertile surroundings, Muro is still
prosperous today. After a stroll through the alleys, you will eat delicious
tapas, then cycle (on a different route) back to Can Picafort. (B, L)
Cycling route: approx. 25 km., easy, flat/asphalted, quiet roads, dirt tracks.
