What nearby towns or sights can I explore after visiting the S'Albufera wetlands?

Just beyond the reed-lined edges of S'Albufera, the town of Port d'Alcúdia lies quietly, often overlooked but rich with charm. Its sandy beaches provide a relaxing contrast to the marshy reserve, and the bustling marina invites visitors to appreciate the local fishing heritage. Strolling through the old town's narrow streets, you'll notice traditional stone houses and cafés serving artfully prepared pa amb oli topped with sobrassada or local olives — an ideal way to soak in the island’s rural flavor.

A short drive along the Ma-13 leads inland to Pollenca, a town that perfectly blends history and the arts, with its cobbled plazas and artisan shops. The climb up to the Calvari steps rewards with sweeping views of the Tramuntana mountains and coastline. From Pollenca, you can wander to Formentor’s peninsula, famous for its dramatic cliffs and crystal-clear coves that feel like a hidden world all their own. Both destinations offer a refreshing balance of natural beauty and cultural richness, making them gratifying stops after the peaceful wetlands of S'Albufera.
