Caves of Drach

Cuevas del Drach - dank, dark and humid, the limestone Dragon Caves on the edge of Porto Cristo have become one of Mallorca’s top tourist sights. Groups of several hundred people at a time go around 2km of slippery paths by guides who tell you in 4 languages how to interpret the bizarre stalactite formations. Try to imagine how Walt Disney would conjure up a fabulous witches’ cave and you have the idea of what the caves look like.

The 1 hour tour ends with a floodlit, floating violin concert on Lake Martel [Europe’s largest underground lake] which was named in honour of the French geologist Edouard Martel who first explored these caves in the late 19th century. Afterwards you can return by boat across the lake to the exit.
