Why go
Start inside Alcúdia’s walls before the old town grows busy, then walk to Pollentia and its Roman theatre as a single archaeological sequence. After lunch, drive toward Cap de Formentor and use a permitted viewpoint or short stop to understand the peninsula’s scale. Continue to Formentor Lighthouse only if current traffic rules, road access and weather make the extension sensible. The historic visits anchor the morning; the afternoon depends on seasonal transport controls, so the lighthouse remains optional rather than a promise that overloads the route.
