You step aboard in Puerto Alcúdia as the harbor loosens its hold and the Mediterranean opens up—blue water sliding past limestone bluffs, the Aucanada lighthouse shrinking behind you. The boat eases along the Bay of Alcúdia and then the coastline sharpens: jagged cliffs daring you to look closer, small coves flashing turquoise where the sea laps white sand.
