Moving to Alcúdia, or spending long stretches of the year there, means redesigning everyday life around a very specific set of services. The town combines local resources (medical centre, supermarkets, schools, sports) with fast access to Palma for anything that requires a capital city. This category groups the articles that help you understand what daily life is actually like for a resident, both in high season and in mid-winter.
On the sport and leisure side, Alcúdia is one of the most active golf and sailing hubs in the Balearics. We cover Alcanada Golf Club —an 18-hole course designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr.— and the marine offer of the port (marinas, moorings, chartering, sailing schools). For those after more active routines, there is hiking up Talaia d'Alcúdia, road cycling across the sierra, and quality spas and wellness centres.
On family and education, we have a concrete guide to public, semi-private and international schools in the north, including selection criteria and real commute times. We also cover restaurants (with an insider map of must-visits), connectivity for remote work and safety, all from a resident's point of view, not a passing visitor's.
The goal of this category is not to sell a lifestyle but to honestly describe what works and what doesn't between November and April, when many seasonal services shut down.
