Alcanada

The Alcanada lighthouse is located in a seaside area in Mallorca, Spain, near the Port d'Alcudia and the Cap de Menorca. The area has a long history dating back to the Roman era, with a small Roman settlement established in the first centuries of our era. The name Alcanada is believed to have originated from the Arabic "Al-kaddan", which was later referred to as "Albecanata" in the Llibre del Repartiment in 1232.

The Alcanada farmstead was established during the Muslim rule of Mallorca in the 9th-13th centuries. After the Balearic Islands were conquered by the Crown of Aragon, the farmstead became communal property in the 14th century. Residents were allowed to use the land for various purposes, including grazing their herds, collecting firewood, and harvesting crops. The main house of Alcanada was owned by several individuals over the years, including Martí Torrens, Guillem Torrens, and Antoni Fe.

Today, the Alcanada area is a popular summer holiday spot, with a beach, a golf course, and a small island with a lighthouse. The lighthouse is a notable feature of the area, although its exact year of construction is not specified. The area's rich history and natural beauty make it an attractive destination for tourists and locals alike. The Alcanada estate has undergone significant changes over the years, with the introduction of new crops and land uses, but its historic significance and charm remain intact.
