Description

The Gateway of Mallorca – also known as the Porta de Sant Sebastià – is the medieval main town gate of Alcúdia in the north of the island and the striking entrance to the historic old town.

Gate, Walls and Old Town

The well-preserved medieval town gate makes for a perfect starting point for a stroll through the old town of Alcúdia. Step through it and you'll find yourself in narrow lanes lined with historic buildings, small shops, cafés, restaurants and ice cream parlours. A section of the town wall is walkable – from the top, you get lovely views over the old town and the surrounding countryside. You can reach the top via narrow stone steps; at certain points along the wall the safety barriers are minimal, so a good head for heights and sure footing are advisable.

Location & Getting There

The gate is located at Carrer Major 18 in Alcúdia. Parking in the surrounding area tends to get quite tight on market days, so it's worth arriving earlier than usual or looking for spaces a little further afield.

Who Is It For?

The area is well suited to families with children. That said, walking the wall section does require sure footing, so anyone with limited mobility should consider this before heading up.
