Overview
The Alcúdia peninsula's highest point offers one of the most spectacular 360-degree panoramas on the island. Starting from the historic Ermita de la Victòria hermitage, the trail climbs through Aleppo pine forest to the summit of Talaia d'Alcúdia (444m), where an old watchtower once scanned the horizon for pirates. The views encompass the Bay of Pollença, the Bay of Alcúdia, Cap de Formentor, and on clear days, the island of Menorca.
