Pet Travel Tips for Alcúdia

Alcúdia rewards visitors who plan slightly ahead. The town is the practical north-Mallorca base for dog owners thanks to the 1.5 km medieval walls perimeter walk, the Pollentia Roman ruins, the S'Albufera UNESCO wetland, the Cap de Formentor lighthouse drive, and the 1-hour catamaran to Ciutadella de Menorca. The seasonal beach ban applies to Platja d'Alcúdia from April 1 to October 31 per the Ajuntament d'Alcúdia ordinance, with off-season leashed walks welcomed November to March. The 24h emergency vet is in Palma (~40 minutes via Ma-13), so save AniCura Aragó +34 971 47 93 54 before you arrive. Compulsory pet insurance for dogs in the Balearic Islands (since September 2023) catches many visitors out, check before flying.
