The
Coves de Campanet may be some of the smallest to be found on Mallorca but
they are quite possibly the most spectacular, with a number of different
formations, varying in size and colour. The caves can be found 40km
Northeast of Palma de Mallorca, and only 3km north of the town of Camponet,
located close to Inca. A visit to these caves is well worth the journey and
comes recommended for every type of tourist, despite the comparatively
expensive entrance fee. The caves were discovered in 1945 purely by accident
- a survey was being carried out in search for underground sources of water,
when a small hole in the rock was discovered, sparking interest due to its
unusual air currents. Once the hole had been widened the geologists realised
that the caves were amazing in some of their formations, and after a further
3 years of excavation the area was opened to the public. |
