Even though an all-inclusive package has its advantages, so does a self catering holiday with its main benefit being to save money over the total cost of your holiday.
Self catering apartments are much less expensive. Even though they often do not have ovens, they usually do supply cooking rings and sometimes a microwave along with a refrigerator so that you can make some of your own meals after shopping at a local grocery store. Even if you only make breakfast in your apartment and eat snacks there, you will save a considerable amount of money.
Not having to eat in restaurants at the same hotel, which you would have to do if you were on an all-inclusive package, provides you with the opportunity to go out into the community and experience the less expensive meals in local restaurants and stands. This would be a big savings and also provide you with a larger variety of dishes. Restaurants near the harbor are abundant with their fresh fish delicacies and offer a large assortment of international cuisine.
You will want to spend most of your time out exploring in Alcudia, especially at the fabulous Mediterranean beach of white sand, which is one of Majorca’s longest at over five miles. Imagine swimming in warm shallow crystal clear water! Water sports alone could keep you busy throughout your vacation between scuba diving, water skiing, kayaking, windsurfing, sailing, fishing, kite surfing, a trip in a cataran or motor boat or on a glass bottom boat, or travel by ferry to a neighboring island.
When you want a change from resting, relaxing, or having fun at the beach, you can explore the Old Town with its walled city, ancient fort, large towers, nearby Roman and Greek historic sites, an old church, and Spain’s smallest amphitheater.
You can take guided walking tours, go hiking or bicycling or horseback riding in the majestic mountains and pine forests, or visit a bird watcher’s beautiful conservation area. You can find good prices and unique materials in the twice-weekly market where lace and embroidered linens, leather goods, handbags, jewelry, etc. are featured.
