2025 Manacor Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in December)

#europetrip Coves del Drach is a hidden symphony beneath the earth—where time has sculpted vast chambers and delicate formations into a dreamscape of stone and silence. Deep within Mallorca’s heart, these ancient caves cradle one of the world’s largest underground lakes, its still waters reflecting a world untouched by sun. As you drift through the cool air and listen to classical melodies echo across the lake, the line between nature and art blurs. Whether you're marveling at the cathedral-like vaults or watching light dance across crystal waters, the caves offer more than wonder—they offer enchantment. It’s where the island breathes in whispers, one ripple at a time.

#falladventures #travel #familytravel If you want to see this: go early!! Parking is a problem, we were 25 minutes away along the highway and many with us. You then walk through a gate all the way straight ahead. And if you think you're there you have to walk another half hour: 2 walls over, under a tree and make quite a few climbs and descents on all those stones. My expectations were quite high but once there it was quite disappointing. Plenty of other more passable calas. Like the pictures if you enjoy them!

#falladventures #travel #familytravel The bay is just fantastic: quite small, not so well known, and therefore not overcrowded at least in June. The water is wonderful. You can rent sunbeds and umbrellas, but you don't have to. The beach is supervised! So also perfect for families! Changing rooms and toilets are available under/near the bar. In the bar, you sit great (if you get a seat) and the service is nice. Unfortunately, the food (we had burgers, fries, salad) is absolute mediocrity with a tendency to be disappointing. The fries were still almost raw, and the burger was unlovingly below standard. Clearly too expensive for that. We had extra reserved and were there for dinner, and then we were disappointed. For a drink in between, but ok. Like the pictures if you enjoy them! Follow me, Travelogist, for more updates like these.

#falladventures #travel #familytravel We were on site on January 11, 2025 and very happy about the helpfulness of the ladies at the checkout! Had booked online in advance and because we did not get a confirmation by mail, we booked again - unfortunately without success, because there was also no mail arrived. Have then spoke to the very nice ladies at the cash desk on site, and she was able to delete the duplicate booking and refund us the money. Thank you so much for that!

#falladventures #travel #familytravel Just beautiful! I went there by coach, and I took my ticket to the caves for €17.50 on the official website. Before making the visit, having arrived early, I was able to do a mini basic hike that led me to the beautiful cove of Murta (5-10 minutes walk without any difficulty). The visit to the cave was great, and I very much enjoyed the moment we settled in this kind of amphitheatre with a view of the water and the arrival of musicians. The symphony orchestra on a boat with light effects and classical music clearly moved me so much that it was beautiful. The cave is very beautiful, and especially its lakes! Beautiful originality for the concert! On the other hand downside of the organisation once down: the different guides posted are unkind and force us to move forward....we do not have time to contemplate, take photos, it is a shame. In addition, we took a small fascicle in French at the Welcoming with some explanations: luckily, we had read it before, because after no explanations or signs. It's very difficult to spot who's what... It's worth it, but would require improvement on the organisation side, visit! We also had the choice to make a little trip on foot or by boat. I recommend this visit, especially for the value for money! Like the pictures if you enjoy them! Follow me, Travelogist, for more updates like these.

Step into a magical underworld at the Drach Caves in Mallorca! 🌏✨ These expansive karst caves are famous for their stalactites, underground lake, and hauntingly beautiful classical music concerts in the belly of the earth. Nature’s artistry meets adventure, making it a must-visit if you’re around Manacor. Start your journey in Porto Cristo, with the Drach Caves conveniently located at Ctra. de les Coves, s/n, 07680 Porto Cristo. Aim to arrive early to beat the crowds—doors open from 10:00 to 17:00 (Mar 17–Oct 31), or 10:30 to 15:30 (other periods), but closed Jan 1 & Dec 25. The entry fee is €28.80. Begin with the well-marked path that winds through dramatic caverns—be sure to admire the naturally illuminated rock formations. Don’t miss the underground Lake Martel: float on a boat (included in ticket) and soak in the live music performance, a truly mystical experience unique to this cave! The best photo ops? Snap the vivid reflections over Lake Martel, close-ups of intricate stalactites, and the beautiful contrasts between rock and water—brighter colors after 10:30 AM help your images pop. Personal tip: Wear sturdy, non-slip shoes—the floors get damp! Also, bring a light jacket, as it’s cool underground compared to the Mallorca sun. Take your time; rushing through skips the small details like delicate cave flowers and glowing mineral veins. Keep an eye out for large groups, as some sections can get crowded. Perfect for anyone craving outdoor natural beauty and a one-of-a-kind underground adventure. #Mallorca #DrachCaves #NatureEscape #OutdoorAdventure #KarstLandform

#Emotional Accommodation 🩵Accommodation Name: ICON Valparaíso 🩵Address: Carrer Aragó, 28, 07688 Manacor, Illes Balears, Spain 🩵Atmosphere/Facilities: This is a place I highly recommend to those who want to really relax! It's already a famous accommodation for Koreans, but I immediately understood why it's so popular and famous as soon as I got there^^ The private beach directly connected to the accommodation was a really beautiful emerald color with a mulberry color, and there were sunbeds, and since most of the guests were there, it was really nice to use it privately! Also, the view while eating breakfast was incredibly pretty, and the breakfast variety was varied and delicious👍🏻 We booked a double room with a sea view, but it was on the floor directly connected to the pool! It was nice to be able to go straight to the accommodation after swimming, and the pool had a shower so it was nice to shake off the sand and such. 😇 The interior of the room was well decorated with cute props that reminded me of Mallorca and Bali, and the room was spacious! 🩵Key point: The highlight of this accommodation is the private beach! We stopped by Calodesmorro before coming to the accommodation, and the sea was just as beautiful. There is a private beach in front of the accommodation and another beach right next to it, so you can go back and forth, and the waves are strong, so I recommend that those who can't swim bring a tube and play safely. 🩵Average price per night: Based on a double room with a sea view, 200,000 won to 300,000 won 🩵Rating: I can't say it, it's perfect without fail⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

#summerdestinations I recently visited the Rafa Nadal Museum in Mallorca, and it was an incredible experience! 🎾 The museum is located in Manacor, the hometown of the legendary tennis player Rafa Nadal. Entrance costs €12, which is quite reasonable for what you get to see. The museum is well-organized, showcasing Rafa’s impressive collection of trophies, his personalized tennis gear, and interactive exhibits that are both engaging and educational. The highlight for me was definitely the section dedicated to his Grand Slam victories—seeing those trophies up close was quite inspiring. Nearby, there are some great spots to check out, like the beautiful beaches of Mallorca or the charming local cafes in Manacor.

Mallorca islands Baleares Espana It is one of the islands in the Spanish archipelago Islas Baleares. It is really crowded in July and August, and people from all over Europe may come here. I would like to recommend some lesser-known places besides the popular tourist spots Calo des Moro/ Cala s'Almunia. After arriving at the parking lot, you still have to walk a long way. There are two directions leading to these two beaches. The entrance to Caro des Moro is not very obvious, so it's best to ask people around. The two beaches are quite close to each other, but you have to climb a mountain. It is recommended not to wear slippers. I wore slippers because I was afraid of slipping down the mountain. ❗️Be sure to change into a swimsuit in advance when you come here. There is no place to change clothes nearby. Don’t bring any valuables. Everyone’s things are thrown on the rocks or on the beach, which will be risky; CUEVAS DEL DRACH cave. You need to buy tickets online in advance. The tour lasts about an hour. There will be live performances on the boat in the middle. At the end, you can choose to take a boat in one of the largest underground lakes in the world or walk out directly. The temperature in the cave is only about ten degrees Celsius above sea level. Motorcycle. We chose RIDE EXPERIENCES - CALA D'OR, and made a reservation through Google. It cost 150€ per motorcycle, which could seat two people. It takes more than an hour and there will be a coach to lead the ride. The itinerary is from the deep sea to several beaches. Before returning, the coach will patiently take pictures one by one. You can also go directly into the water to swim for a while. Don't worry about not knowing how to ride, it is easy for novices to get started Viewpoint to Cap Formentor, the best place to watch the sunset recommended by locals. There is a parking lot nearby if you drive here, and there is a bus to the top of the mountain, 1.8€ one-way, and you need to wear a mask. This place is really suitable for watching the sunset, the scenery is majestic❗️But you must control the time and go up early. We missed the sunset because we were waiting for the bus, and could only see the last sunset and the rising moon.
