Attractions & guided tours

Caves of Arta Entry Ticket

One of Majorca's treasures, the Caves of Artà, are located on the coast of Canyamel, in Cap Vermell.

If you're a fan of adventure and the hidden natural world, this is the excursion for you. Experience these stunning caves and take some unforgettable memories home with you.Once you step through the towering entrance, you'll find yourself in the chamber known as the Entrance Hall, where countless stalactites of extraordinary proportions hang from the high arched roof. Tall stalagmites gracefully rise out the ground, vaguely resembling mysterious human forms.This excursion is one of a kind and will let you in on some of nature's best kept secrets and marvellous creations. Duration of the visit is usually around 60-90 mins, but visiting time is not limited.

Activities

Majorcan breakfast at Rancho Grande

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so do it in true Spanish style on the sprawling countryside estate of Rancho Grande. You'll sit out on the sun-soaked terrace and pick from a menu that champions local Majorcan flavours. For the more adventurous foodies, you can try options like butifarrón, a local offal delicacy, sobrasada, a traditional cured sausage, or caminates, a tomato pig trotter dish. And, if you're prefer sticking to a more tried and tested menu, you can tuck into rustic bread topped with smoked salmon, eggs and avocado, ham and cheese, or suckling pork chops from the ranch's herd of heritage breed black Majorcan pigs.
