Places to visit in Campanet

Campanet Caves

This is one of the most beautiful places on the island and naturally, therefore, one of the main attractions in the municipality of Campanet. With a total surface area of some 3,200 m2, the caves are moreover surrounded by a beautiful rural landscape typical of the Sierra de Tramuntana. To visit the caves, don’t forget to dress comfortably and be prepared to discover the incredible galleries and fascinating stalagmites and stalactites. Don’t miss it!

Ses Fonts Ufanes

Ses Fonts Ufanes, which have been classified as an official Natural Monument since 2001, are one of the most striking natural phenomena on Mallorca. Located in Campanet, they are natural springs that periodically gush with water and after heavy rainfall, they do so with particular force (hence, it should be noted, they are not always in full flow). They are to be found in the Finca Gabellí Petit; they are easy to reach via a short and attractive walk lasting around 20 minutes there and 20 minutes back, making it a perfect trip for children too. 

Weekly market

Campanet’s local market is one of the most popular on Mallorca. You’ll find all manner of fresh and locally-grown produce on offer, such as seasonal fruit and vegetables, Mallorcan cheeses and sausages such as sobrasada, and even flowers, clothes and footwear.

The market is held every Tuesday and Saturday without fail in the Plaza Mayor, from 8:00 to 13:00. It’s not to be missed! If you’d like to know a bit more about local markets, here is a link to another post about the Markets in Mallorca.
