Balearic Cave Wonders

The Balearic Islands house a diverse range of subterranean systems, from the massive Drach and Artà caves in Mallorca to the cliffside Cova d'en Xoroi in Menorca. These geological formations include some of Europe’s largest underground lakes, such as Lake Martel, and intricate displays of ancient stalactites. Beyond the commercial sites, the archipelago offers sea caves like Cabrera's Sa Cova Blava, accessible by boat, and historical sites like the Portals Vells quarry cave, which contains 15th-century religious carvings.
