Talaia d'Alcúdia, Mountain summit in Alcúdia, Spain.
Description
Talaia d'Alcúdia is a 444-meter mountain in northern Mallorca with multiple trails winding to its summit. From the top, views stretch across Badia de Pollença and the rocky headlands of Cap Formentor.
History
The summit holds remnants of an ancient watchtower built to monitor maritime traffic along the coast. This strategic lookout allowed inhabitants to observe the waters and defend against potential threats from the sea.
Culture
The slopes have long served as grazing land where local shepherds brought their herds to feed. You can still see signs of this practice in how the land is shaped, and goats roam here naturally to keep the vegetation managed.
Practical
Bring sturdy hiking boots and plenty of water, as the mountain has limited shade and becomes very hot. Early mornings or late afternoons are better times to climb, especially during summer months.
Did you know?
A fire watch station operates at the summit during high-risk seasons to monitor surrounding forests. This makes the peak an important safeguard for the wider northern Mallorca region.
