The guys were unable to make it this morning, so it was just us chicas. We took a bus ride up north to Alcúdia to visit the Roman ruins called Pol-léntia or Pollença. This included la Portella, el Forum, and el Teatro. We were literally standing in the middle of ancient history! After, we toured the surrounding city and local market. It was crowded, but nice to see all the vendors, locals, and many tourists. This northern part of Mallorca is popular amongst tourist of all walks of life. Luckly, with great timing, we were able to experience a mass in the local Catholic church. I was right back in Ms. Bucci's Spanish class, "En el nombre de Padré, el Hijo, y el Espíritu Santo."
When we were done taking in all the history and crowds, we headed to the beach of course, La Playa de Alcúdia. I love how the weather is perfect on every beach here even when the sun isn't shinning. It came and went throughout our stay. I mostly walked along the beach and took photos of the view. I tried to capture all the colors and landscape but still did it no justice. It was that pretty!
Leaving Alcúdia, we went to Formentor, also known as the top of the island. It was unreal, breath-taking. We were able to drive up so high and then walk higher to take in all the beauty. I loved every second of it. Check out the video:
In Formentor, we went to a second beach, una playa especial. We actually drove to a higher altitude to get to it! It was just as lovely.
