Coves dels Hams

In Porto Cristo, the Coves dels Hams are Mallorca's show caves with a soundtrack: what sets them apart from the neighbouring Coves del Drac is live music underground. The visit opens in the Round Cave, now a green garden where native Mallorcan birds fly free, moves through the Blue Cave — where the projected documentary Discovering the Past plays under deep-blue LEDs — and drops through twelve galleries of fine white formations to the underground lake known as the Sea of Venice. There, musicians in a small boat give a short classical light-and-music show, the moment everyone remembers. Practical: Adults €17 · children 3–12 €11 · under-3s free (Dinosaurland combo €24/€18) · open daily from 10:00 · guided in Spanish, Catalan, English, French, German and Italian · free parking, bar-restaurant and shop on site.

WHAT HAPPENS

The shape of it

Concert on the Sea of Venice

On the underground lake called the Sea of Venice, live musicians glide past in a small boat for a short classical light-and-music show — the cave's signature moment.

The Blue Cave documentary

Added in 2015, the Blue Cave screens 'Discovering the Past', a projected documentary on the island's earliest inhabitants lit with deep-blue LEDs.

A garden in the round cave

The open Round Cave now holds a lush garden where native Mallorcan birds fly free — a green start before the descent.
