Description

Guided hike Atalaia de Alcudia – the sound of the sea on the enchanting La Victoria peninsula in Alcudia

During the guided hike Atalaia de Alcudia we drive to the peaceful place Alcanada. First past a golf course and natural pebble beaches, and then above the steep coast along the narrow coastal paths, the path leads us to the municipal forest of Alcúdia with wonderful views of the bay of Alcúdia and the neighboring island of Menorca. Further, in the pine forest we hike along forest roads and paths in a ravine, soon uphill to the “Coll de na Benet”. With a hearty local snack, which is prepared with a lot of love by our guide. we enjoy the seemingly endless view over the sea. We descend over a stony, old goat hunter’s path in the macchia forest past the La Victòria hostel to the small, fine bathing bay of S’Illot. The return journey will now take place again with our bus to the hotel.
