MALLORCA, SPAIN

Mallorca is ideal from a travel perspective.

International Airport
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is the main international gateway to the island, with direct flights from all major European cities. It’s located about 60 km from Alcúdia, and travel time by car or shuttle is approximately 45–60 minutes.

Getting to Alcúdia
From the airport, you can reach Alcúdia easily by rental car, airport shuttle, or public bus. The road network is modern and well-maintained, making the drive smooth and scenic. If you’re bringing your bike or gear, most transfers and car rentals are well equipped for active travelers.

Public Transport
Mallorca offers a reliable public bus network. Line 351 connects Palma and Alcúdia with regular service. For timetables and travel planning, visit TIB (Transport de les Illes Balears).

Payment methods
Most restaurants, shops, and hotels accept credit and debit cards. However, it’s always smart to carry some cash for small purchases, especially in more rural areas or local markets.
