I have been to Spain many times. Drove it on the car up and down. I saw a lot. And with full confidence I can say that the Dragon Caves (Las Cuevas del Drach) in Mallorca overshadow all the sights of Spain combined. (Excluding Montserrat and the fireworks festival in San Sebastian).
Legends about pirates, treasures of the Templars and all sorts of dragons are associated with these caves.
You will be taken underground for a distance of approximately 1200 m. Please wear comfortable shoes. At the end of the journey, you will be offered to take a seat in an underground amphitheater on the shores of one of the largest underground lakes in the world. The light will go out and in complete darkness, several dimly lit rowing boats will sail from afar, in one of which a quartet will play. Concertino, violin, cello and more. They will play Bach or Chopin. It's indescribable.
You can go back on foot by a short road, but it is better to stand in line for a bit and sail to the exit on one of the boats.
- Flash photography is not allowed.
- It is better not to take small children. They will be frightened of the darkness and with their cries will spoil the impression of a miracle. And not only to you.
- Groups of 200 people are allowed inside. In this regard, it is better to buy a tour in advance. The bus will bring you exactly at the time of your arrival and you won't have to wait. And if you come on your own, then in the first place there may not be tickets at the box office. (They appear there according to the residual principle), and secondly, you can wait a long time until there is a shortage in the next group.
On the way back you will be taken to the pearl shopping center. I strongly advise against buying anything. This is a center that trades in cultured pearls of small obscure factories and sells their products under the brand name "Mallorca". And sells unreasonably expensive. You can buy products of this collective brand in the shop closest to the hotel for several times cheaper.
And if you want to really buy jewelry with a name, then look for a jewelry store in the area that sells the "MAJORICA" brand. It's expensive, but it's deservedly expensive.
Better, at a time when everyone will be looking at the jewelry, go up to the second floor of this complex and enjoy the shoe-bag-jacket-fur coat paradise. There is a lot of everything and at ridiculous prices.
