Caves of Drach & Mallorca's East Coast: The Underground Itinerary
Mallorca's east coast hides its best sights underground: the Caves of Drach with their vast subterranean lake and live classical concert, the neighbouring Caves of Hams, and the fishing harbour of Porto Cristo in between. Here is how to plan a half day — or a full one — on the island's cave coast, with the top-rated tours to book.

The Caves of Drach and the Lake Martel concert
The Cuevas del Drach near Porto Cristo are Mallorca's most visited natural attraction for good reason: a kilometre-long walk through floodlit chambers ends at Lake Martel, one of the largest underground lakes in Europe, where musicians drift across the water playing a short classical concert from rowing boats. Entry runs on timed sessions that sell out in summer, so book ahead — half-day tours from Palma with hotel pickup start from around €55.
