As you leave Palma de Mallorca, you will first cross the Mallorcan plain to Port de Pollença, where you will take the coastal road to Cap de Formentor, the northernmost point of the island. The journey itself is already a feast for the eyes. There are many viewpoints along the way where you can stop to take in the natural beauty of this unique and unspoilt landscape and take some photos. Climb up to the top of Cap de Formentor, a lighthouse built in 1857 to direct boats along the coast, for a magical moment of reflection.

You will head out of Palma de Mallorca towards Porto Cristo, where the Cuevas del Drach (Dragon Caves) were first documented by historians in 1338! This natural wonder is found 25 metres below ground and its tunnels stretch over 1,200 metres. In its chambers, you can see all sorts of stalactites, stalagmites and other geological curiosities shaped over the centuries by water infiltration and other natural elements. The tunnels also lead to an underground lake which is 117 metre long and between 4 and 12 metres deep. Lake Edouard Alfred Martel, named after the speleologist who first discovered it, is one of the three most impressive underground lakes in the world.
