Alcudia: A port on the west coast of the Cape of Three Forks peninsula, 10 kilometers west of Melilla, controlled by the Aragonese at least through 1412. Note that some manuscripts mistakenly combine the toponyms for Melilla and Alcudia (e.g. mirilla arcudia).
This toponym does not appear in the poem, only on the maps accompanying it.
