Pet-Friendly Attractions in Alcúdia

Pollentia is the 1st-century BC Roman city founded by Quintus Caecilius Metellus after the Roman conquest of the Balearics in 123 BC, the most important Roman archaeological site on Mallorca. The open grounds include the forum, the residential quarter (Sa Portella domus), the perimeter paths and the remains of the city walls, with a fenced Roman theatre 200 m to the south reached on foot. Leashed dogs are welcome on the open grounds and perimeter paths but not inside the fenced theatre or the indoor archaeological museum (Museu Monogràfic). A 10-minute walk from Plaça de la Constitució.

The Plaça de la Constitució is the main square of the casc antic, framed by the Església de Sant Jaume, the Ajuntament and the Renaissance casas señoriales of Carrer Major. The Tuesday and Thursday morning market is one of the largest regional markets in northern Mallorca, sprawling out through the surrounding streets with produce, olive oil, sobrassada, cheeses, ensaimades, leather goods and ceramics. Leashed dogs are welcome throughout the square, the surrounding lanes and the market itself, with water bowls easy to ask for at café terraces.

The Cap de Formentor lighthouse sits on the dramatic north-eastern tip of Mallorca, 30 km from Alcúdia at the end of one of the most cinematic clifftop drives in Europe. The road climbs and twists through Tramuntana pine forest with multiple roadside miradors (Es Colomer, Mirador de la Creueta) and ends at the lighthouse itself with a 350 m vertical drop to the sea below. Leashed dogs are welcome at every mirador and on the 1-hour clifftop walking trail from the lighthouse car park. The road is closed to cars from June 15 to September 15 between 10:00 and 19:00, shuttle bus only.
