Campanet Caves

The caves of Campanet are caves located in the south slope of the Puig de Sant Miquel, in the mountain range of Tramontana, to the north of the island of Majorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, in Spain. They have an area of ​​approximately 3,200 m2 and a distance of around 400 m. They develop at an average of 50 m below the surface of the land and create a vacuum of about 16,000 m3. His visit, of about 40 minutes, runs through different galleries and rooms, some of which have small accumulations of water. These rooms have such suggestive names as: romantic room (romantic room), lake room (llac room), enchanted castle (castell enchtat), palmera room (palmera room) or sound cascade (cascade sonora), between others.

The caves are characterized by the fineness and richness of their calcareous deposits in the form of stalactites and stalagmites, also called speleothems by geologists. In addition to natural ornamentation, various aspects have attracted the attention of scientists and naturalists. For example, fossil remains of Myotragus balearicus, a species of endemic fish of Mallorca and Menorca, extinct about 4,000 years ago with the arrival of the man in the Balearic archipelago were found during the restoration works of the caves.
