This tour gives us excellent views from both land and sea, and sometimes can even see the island of Menorca! The Alcúdia Watchtower (XVI century) was part of the set of towers and watchtowers placed at strategic points of the coast to monitor the coast and transmit warnings of danger.
The first part of this route runs in the shade among the pine trees and later along the coast, with the sea breeze, an ideal itinerary for taking in the last days of summer and perfect in any season.
It is a comfortable and not too brisk walk, which begins in the natural area of La Victoria, currently protected by the Law of Natural Areas of the Balearic Islands, climbing the Penya Rotja and to the Alcúdia Watchtower. The return path descends through the Valley of Ses Fontanelles and finishes in S’Illot.
The tour will end in a cove sheltered by the Mountain of Sa Madona, a small pebble beach, quiet, family and picturesque ridges, where we expect a deserved rest and a refreshing swim in its clear waters. Off its coast we will sight the island of Alcanada, crowned by a fantastic lighthouse that illuminates the sunset, to which we can reach on foot or by swimming. In its vicinity stands, too, the Major Tower, part of a defensive fortress of the XVII century to repel pirate attacks.
