Alcudia Day 2

After breakfast, we went to visit Pollentia- ciutat Romana - the remains of a Roman Settlement outside the town walls. 









There was also a theatre





We quitted Alcúdia and drove north to Pollenca. We arrived at the port, which is a modern tourist resort as is Port d’Alcúdia. The towns were built inland to avoid pirate raids! 



Miles and miles of golden beaches - very quiet on this Autumn day. We continued to the town of Pollenca. We lunched in its vast square 



and later I climbed Calvari  - an infinite number of steps to a church at the summit. 






                    Two thirds up - more to go!!

I returned to the square and we set off for Palma, the beautiful Mallorca capital. 



We are staying in      within the city walls. We had fun and games trying to locate the hotel as Sat Nav threw in the towel!!  After circling the area four times, we finally reached  the hotel. 

Exhausted, we dined at a wonderful local restaurant nearby!!
