Saint Peter is considered patron of the sailors and fishermen therefore many of the celebrations are associated to the sea. It is usually celebrated on the 29th June.

Alcudia offers beautiful landscapes and natural parks. We recommend visiting Puig de la Victoria, Puig de Sant Martí, Penya del Midgia and the Natural Park of L'Albufera of special importance as it is a natural reserve for migratory birds. If you are interested in history, you can visit the Roman city of Pollentia, founded in 123 BC and located outside the medieval walls of the historic center of Alcudia.
Pollentia is qualified as an Asset of Cultural Interest, together with the historic center of Alcudia.
Another of the most important natural sites is Alcanada beach and its islet, which you can walk or swim to. Two other jewels of nature are the beaches of Sant Pere and Es Morer Vendrell, with their impressive landscape, as well as Can Cap de Bou, the favorite location for windsurf lovers.
The bays of Pollença and Alcudia are recognized for their ideal winds which make them the ideal locations to practice water sports such as sailing but if you are more into kitesurfing, paddle surfing or windsurfing, the most common beaches are Can Cap de Bou, Sa Marina and the final stretch in Alcudia beach.
The north of the island is a very good location for the practice of water sports. as its seabed and its beauty attract sea lovers, with a calm sea and the absence of tides and scarce currents, especially a fauna and flora marine of special interest.
