A day in Alcúdia
What to do in Alcúdia in one day, in the order that makes sense: Platja de Muro, Ponderosa Beach and Bodega Butxet in Muro: Vineyards & Tasting with Tapas. With the times, the journeys and what it costs.
The times are planned for a Saturday in november, with sunset at 17:42: every place is open when you arrive, according to its hours. They change with the season and we review the plan every week.
