Excursion Panoramic tour of pollensa tour at Alcudia
Cruise line: SilverseaDifficulty:
Discover the island of Mallorca from a unique perspective during this panoramic, half-day excursion to historic Pollensa. Towards the end of the 16th century, the Dominicans (a Catholic religious order) settled in Pollensa and with them started the construction of grand houses and the introduction of Guilds. The construction of a dock at the Port de Pollensa in 1830 allowed greater trading and helped create more wealth for the town.
