Embark on a journey along the most popular hiking route on the Alcúdia Peninsula, leading you to the peak of Talaia d'Alcúdia, the highest point on the peninsula.

Situated in Mallorca's northern region, the Alcúdia Peninsula offers a diverse range of landscapes. From rugged cliffs and sandy beaches to pine forests and rural villages, this hike allows you to connect with nature and soak up the beauty of the area. The term "Sa Talaia" translates to watchtower, which is fitting given the summit's history. Standing 446m above sea level, you'll find the circular base of a 16th-century tower and a little further down, two huts that served as refuge for soldiers during the Civil War. This watchtower once overlooked a part of the bay that was hidden from Sa Penya Roja. However, due to its exposure to storms and lightning, it fell into disrepair and was eventually demolished by the military in 1918.

You'll meet the guide at La Victòria Hermitage car park, which is the start and the finish point of this circular route. From the parking, the trail initially descends a steep footpath to the Torrent de s'Aladernar Gorge and after 300m, at the signpost indicating La Victoria Youth Hostel, you'll turn left on a track that follows Torrent de ses Fontanelles.

Sa Talaia d'Alcúdia is the hike's highest and most impressive point. The views from the summit are phenomenal. For the descent to La Victoria, you'll take the northeast direction on a very stony path.
