Cuevas del Drach
Cuevas del Drach (Caves of the Dragon) is a system of limestone caves on Mallorca's east coast, notable for one of the largest underground lakes in the world, Lake Martel, across which a short classical music concert is performed by musicians on illuminated boats as part of the standard tour. The caves themselves stretch over a kilometer with dramatic stalactite and stalagmite formations built up over millions of years.
Visits are guided and run on a fixed schedule rather than free wandering, ending with the option to cross the underground lake by rowboat included in the ticket price. It's a popular stop for both cruise passengers docking nearby and inland day-trippers from Palma, so tour times can get crowded in peak season.
