Casa Martinella is right in the centre of town, just 50m from the beach, 50m from a handy Spar store, 50m from the bus station and only 1km from a huge Mercadona supermarket. There are many wonderful restaurants and bars on your doorstep.
Can Picafort is a fun place to be. The long promenade is fun for walkers, cyclists and rollerbladers. You will pass by plenty of beach bars for an early morning cup of coffee or a cocktail later on. The beach has pedal boats, watersports and fun inflatable rides. In the summer months, there are a lot of market stalls selling clothing and souvenirs.
The Finca son Real is a stunning, traditional finca open to tourists just outside Can Picafort. You can explore the traditional agriculture of Mallorca and enjoy the very attractive gardens. There are hiking, riding and cycling trails. It will give you a feel for the real Mallorca.
Also, just outside Can Picafort is the delightful Sa Bassa Blanca Museum. It is in a beautiful Hispano-Moorish building with appealing white domes, tiled floors and doors and amazing gardens. The museum is full of curiosities, sculptures and various collections of modern and contemporary art and photographic exhibitions. The gardens are stunning and adorned with granite animals and a wish tree created by Yoko Ono, where branches are tagged with the personal hopes and wishes of visitors.
Further north you will come to Alcudia Old Town and the Bay of Alcudia. Alcudia Old Town is very beautiful and picturesque. The narrow cobbled streets are littered with fabulous restaurants, chic boutiques and colourful Romeo and Juliet balconies covered in flowers.
The town hosts many cultural events, traditional fiestas and classical music festivals. The 19th-century Neogothic parish church of Sant Jaume is definitely worth a visit. If you go on a Tuesday or Sunday, you will experience the buzzy markets selling souvenirs, linens, leather goods and jewellery. It’s a great time to go.
If you decide to explore further, you could go into the mountains and the charming, ancient villages. The views from the winding roads and mountain tops are incredible.
