World Travel https://www.youtube.com/user/World1Tube Mallorca, Spain Travel Guide http://bit.ly/18FU4zn Shepherd Entertainment takes you on a tour of Alcudia in Mallorca, Spain. Its visitors can enjoy the S'Albufera Natural Park, the Roman ruins and the old town. Visit Alcudia on the Island of Mallorca, Spain Alcudia means hail in Arabic, the Moore's built their capital here at the conquest of the island in 903, and they weren't the first. When the Roman Empire, there was already a settlement here on a Venetian foundation in Pallontiana. The prospering city became uninhabited throughout the course of the fifth century, by today hardly anything remains because the Arabs used the Roman stones for building. What we can visit is the foundation wall of Spain's smallest amphitheatre the Theatro Romano which has a capacity of only 2,000. Behind the amphitheatre are the 15 meter deep catacombs which allegedly bear the site of the first secret meeting place of the Christians. Even more in the Museo Monographical Delapontia a small local museum next to City Hall is a model of a whole Roman house and the findings of the excavations are exhibited. Quick sand accumulates to the west and gradually changes the chunky sand dunes, its quite surprising how rich the dunes are. Next to assuming small bushes we came across special white flowers. We should take care of this trip because they are strictly protected plants. As on the California and Veniz beach, an attempt cruise made here to form a flowering residential quarter divided frequently by the dunes, the apartments can be rented but others are purchased under favorable conditions. Boats runs on the small channels and slender bridges span them. This small settlement extending from the reservoir to the beach is an especially pleasant. In the downtown area, in front of the shops, we can get our hands on cabs as well taking us to the beach or the harbor. The huge harbors are starting point of boat trips, the trips going around the whole island apart from here but we can also take longer trips. For instance to the island of Minaca, the restaurants at the harbor specialize in fish and seafood with open grills in the evening. The remaining parts are the city wall and city gate are the decisive monuments of Alcudia. The city wall had to be rebuilt in the reign of James the Second because of pirate attacks. The building continued throughout the next few centuries. Three gates were erected, San Sebastia, Filaroha and Sarah. The small beautiful Saint James Church from the 14th century was built into the city wall. The crucifix was kept in here which is shown during processions. From Alcudia, its worth going on a trip to the Formatore cave that extends thirteen kilometers to the sea, to the lighthouse or into the wind surfers paradise of Polenzo Bay where the most shellfish can be found in the coastal sand.
