In-Depth Information
In Vallgornera (3km east of Cala Pi), half a dozen caves burrow their way through
the rock underfoot. Some are truly impressive, with underground rivers and lakes or
spectacular stalactites and stalagmites. The most famous cave here, Cova des Pas de
Vallgornera, is also the Balearics' longest, at 6435m. Sadly it is off limits to all but expert
geologists and speleologists.
Getting There & Away
Bus 515 runs to and from Palma (€5.30, one hour, up to five times daily).
SOUTHERN MALLORCA'S TOP BEACHES
COLÒNIA DE SANT JORDI & AROUND
West of the family resort, Colònia de Sant Jordi stretches the 7km of the unspoilt Platja
des Trenc, while to the southeast a vast nature reserve protects a long swath of rocky
coastline softened by pristine beaches. Offshore sits the Balearics' only national park, the
Parc Nacional Marítim-Terrestre de l'Arxipèlag de Cabrera, while inland a smattering of
preserved Talayotic sites interrupt a serene, pastoral landscape.
