Campanet Things To Do

Campanet Caves
To say that the Campanet Caves are famous for their stalagmites and stalactites doesn’t do these extraordinary rock formations justice. The caves are an alien landscape carved out of million-year-old limestone, with crystal clear pools, winding passages and large chambers decorated with the most incredible, mineral-coloured rock formations. Open all year, a guided tour takes around 40 minutes. The memory will stay with you for life.

Ses Fonts Ufanes
Even rain in Campanet can be a positive. Anyone lucky enough to be here just after a downpour should witness the vauclusian springs of Ses Fonts Ufanes, the island’s first protected Natural Monument. This is an area of outstanding beauty even when a torrent of water is not suddenly shooting out of the earth.

Glass-Making
You could say glass-making is a Majorcan tradition – after all, it dates back 2,000 years. This ancient craft is still carried on at Menestralia, on the outskirts of Campanet, and visitors can watch as artisans produce objects ranging from beautifully coloured lamps and vases to ornate chandeliers.

Eating & Drinking
Campanet is a quiet village with a couple of pleasant, friendly bars where visitors can enjoy tapas and the typical Majorcan dish pan b’oli (bread rubbed with olive oil and eaten with ham, cheese or fruit), as well as excellent hotel restaurants.

Hiking, Cycling, Mountain Biking or Horse Riding
Fresh forest air, the scent of orange and almond groves, open farmland, rustic inns, a Gothic chapel, the views in the Sierra de Tramuntana and stunning cliffs along the rugged north-west coastline of Majorca are just some of the attractions that make people want to leave the hire car behind.

Golf
A little over 20 minutes away, near Alcudia, is one of the finest of the island’s excellent courses. While a pleasant drive in the opposite direction offers a choice of courses to suit all handicaps. With over 300 days sunshine and stunning scenery, north-west Majorca attracts golfers all year round.

Fiestas 
In Majorca there always seems to be a celebration somewhere, either to mark a religious or historical event or just to celebrate local culture, and they offer visitors a chance to experience the island’s traditions and hospitality. The main event in Campanet is the 8-day fiesta of Sant Victorià in July. Once locals have had a chance to recover, they celebrate Sant Miquel’s Day –the town’s patron saint – at the end of September.

Beaches
Both Pto Alcudia and Pto Pollensa have family-friendly, sandy beaches and all the water sports, shops and restaurants that you would hope for in a Spanish resort. For anyone looking for seclusion there are pine-backed beaches and quiet coves to be explored.
