how to move around
The best thing you can do is to park the car outside the city walls (there are some free parkings just opposite the main gate) and walk inside the old town which is small anyway.
You may need the car again only if you want to visit also the port de Alcudia.

Many car hire places offer excursions as well at half the cost of the hotels prices and they seem like fantastic deals... What they don't tell you is that you will spend the entire morning sat in a little room listening to someone trying to sell you a ridiculously over priced bed! You will THEN be taken to Marineland or wherever else you originally thought you were heading where you will be lucky to have 2 hours of the day left! It is shocking that they fail to tell people (especially people with excited young children like myself) that you will will be de-touring to a sweatbox to be lectured by a very pushy salesman - be wary and always book excursions with your hotel. They may be more pricey but you will get exactly what they advertise and your kids wont be heartbroken at missing the dolphins!

Unique Suggestions: Car hire places are for hiring cars - don't buy anything else from them at all because you will not be given a refund of any kind, nor a sympathetic ear when you complain! Local businesses work very hard, very long hours to make their money and you have more chance of growing wings than you have of getting refund, so be wise with your money, or if you spot a tempting bargain ask LOADS of questions before you hand over your cash!

Fun Alternatives: Public transport is very good in Majorca and there are lots of bus and rail links so if you feel confident enough, use them! It works out very cheap to use public transport and buy entry tickets when you arrive!

Favorite thing: The original old town of Alcudia (dating back to around 1300) is actually 2 miles inland and is well worth a visit. Few people realise it was the Phoenicians and Greeks who first settled here, closely by the Romans, who made Alcudia the capital of the island. There is an excellent walking tour of the town that highlights its abundant history.
