Mallorca's Best Caves

Mallorca's geological landscape is defined by extensive limestone formations, featuring a mix of natural caverns and historical mining sites. This collection includes the Coves de Gènova, discovered in 1906 and reaching depths of 36 meters, alongside numerous "avencs" (vertical shafts) and caves like Cova des Pilar, known for its natural columns. Many sites around the Serra de Na Burguesa reflect the island's industrial history, showcasing former gypsum mines and quarries integrated into the subterranean terrain.
