5 Major Things to see in Majorca | Spain

Katmandu Park

This attraction is on the unusual and wacky side and will appeal to all ages. It is a good way to get out of the heat of the day, as a lot of it is undercover, or to visit at night, when it is lit up. The highlight is the upside down house, which is a fictional history and full of quirky facts. It is surprising and fun and makes a change from a day at the beach.  The 4D rollercoaster and the 4D/5D theatre are unique and very popular with teenagers, as is the laser shooting game. The onsite grill is reasonably priced and the fajitas are highly recommended! The park is a good place to spend 4 or 5 hours and admittance fees are 24 euros adult.

Caves of Drach

These caves are situated near Porto Cristo and are composed of beautiful rock and limestone formations, set against semiprecious agates. The stalactites and stalamites glisten in the wide expanse of underground caverns, four in total and the visitor to the caves can travel for more than a mile underground. At the end of the caves there is one of the largest underground lakes in the world. All this is set to music and illuminated with an artistic multicolored light show. The acoustic qualities of the caves lend an ethereal atmosphere to the experience.

Cap de Formentor

This stunning bluff of cliffs, shaped over time by wind and waves, is named the “meeting point of the winds” and is a good example of the more natural side of Majorca. Standing on the cliffs, the wind will surround you and the waves below will be crashing onto the rocks. A nearby lighthouse will give stunning views of the sea and relaxation can be found on Formentor Beach. The area is a dramatic 20 min drive  from Port de Pollenca and is Majorca’s most northerly point. The Formentor Hotel is a good place to stay, with a mix of remoteness and classic luxury.

Serra de Tramuntana

This provides a chance to see the unspoilt Majorca, away from the tourists. The limestone mountains stretch along the entire northwest coast and are suitable for hiking, walking and day trips. The drive along them is twisty and turny, with lovely scenery, small villages and towns such as Valldemossa and Soller. Lush green gives way to bare rocks and The Canyon of Torrent leads down to the wild sea.

S’Albufera Wetlands

This area is free to visit and bikes can be hired locally to explore the open spaces and tracks. Many species of birds can be seen in spring and autumn, but it is also a good place to get out in the fresh air and have a walk around. Nature comes first here and the area is very eco-friendly. Food should be taken along and the bus from Porto Pollensa is a good way to get there.  Butterflies and Mediterranean birds are the main attractions here, alongside the chance to visit the largest wetlands of The Balaerics. These days you can get great rate holidays to the island of Majorca so now is perfect time to pack your bags and get to see these wonderful sights.
