5th century. San Vicente Ferrer kept preaching all around the world and making miracles by raising a finger when he advised the Majorcans in one of his speeches: Majorca<\/strong> is empty in the inside. He compared the island with a large mud pot placed upside down, and although we do know now that this is nothing but a myth, it is very true that the island has almost 200 caves<\/strong>\u2013only five of them can be visited.<\/p>\n

In the 19th<\/sup> century, the archduke Luis Salvador became interested in this hidden underground world. He reached out to geologist Edouard Martel<\/strong>, who discovered the Caves of Arta in 1856.<\/p>\n

Galleries<\/strong>, stalactites<\/strong>, underground rivers<\/strong>, lakes<\/strong> in cavities\u2026the island hides a whole subterranean world. Adventurers, get ready! We are going deep into the subsoil of Majorca<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CAVES OF ARTA<\/strong><\/p>\n

Located in Capdepera between mountains by the sea, the Caves of Arta are thought to be discovered by the primitives that inhabited the island. The stalactites found there are simply amazing, of very humongous dimensions and astonishing shapes. It stands out \u201cthe queen of the columns\u201d of 20 meters of length.<\/p>\n

In your visits to the Caves of Arta, you will definitely be entertained at \u201cthe Hell\u201d, where light and sound shows takes place. You do not want to miss \u201cthe Purgatory\u201d, full of carbon stones that resemble diamonds. This sure sounds like we are in the heart of a paradise.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

CAVES OF CAMPANET<\/strong><\/p>\n

covesdecampanet.com<\/a><\/p>\n

Located in Campanet, in the heart of Sierra de Tramuntana<\/strong>, these caves are to be found on the Palma-Port d\u2019Alcudia road, km 39. There are numerous cavities, with a 3200 square meters and 400 meters of length.<\/p>\n

Fantastic calcareous-rock galleries<\/strong> are waiting for us, with awesome thin white stalactites and stalagmites<\/strong>. Paleontological remains from Myotragus belearicus <\/em>are found it its interior\u2013an animal that extinguished 5000 years ago that is genetically related to the sheep.<\/p>\n

Furthermore, these caves are in the Valley of Sant Miquel<\/strong>, as well as the very ancient Gothic church of San Miguel <\/strong>from the 13th century. It is simply an incredible setting.<\/p>\n

CAVES OF THE DRACH<\/strong><\/p>\n

Close enough from Porto Cristo<\/strong> we find the most famous caves from Majorca<\/strong>, the Caves of the Drach<\/strong>. In its interior, it stands out the 177-meter long and 30-meter wide Lake Martel.<\/strong> A musical concert is held during the visits.<\/p>\n

The lightning in these caves are one of the most impressive and magical, designed by the Catalan engineer Carles Buigas, also known as the light magician.<\/p>\n

The stalactites and stalagmites in these caves remind us in many occasions of figure, some of them have been baptized as the Virgin of the Cave, the Venus of the Nile or Buddha.<\/p>\n

CAVES OF GENOVA<\/strong><\/p>\n

In Palma de Majorca<\/strong>, in the Genova neighborhood, we find the 36-meter depth Caves of Genova.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The special feature of these caves is a formation called coraloires, <\/strong>created by magnesium, nothing less than 4 million years ago.<\/p>\n

CAVES OF HAMS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Porto Cristo-Manacor road.<\/p>\n

Nature shapes are often pretty random, and in the Caves of Hams the formations do look like trees<\/strong>, similar to fish hooks (hams), which are the result of the currents and the constant work of spiders. In its interior, in the Sea of Venetia, musical concerts are held as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
