Take shelter from the midday heat in the underground caverns known as the Can Marçà Caves, located in Puerto de San Miguel. Eerily quiet and illuminated by curious colours, the formations of stalagmites and stalactites provide an unusual backdrop for a tour through its shadowy galleries.
Originally used by smugglers to store their contraband, the markings they used to navigate in the dead of night can still be seen on the walls today. At the heart of the cave lies a 10-metre artificial waterfall, where you can enjoy an impressive music and light show. Visitors can also take in magnificent sea views through openings carved into the cliffside.
The cave is easy to find in Puerto de San Miguel; if you are arriving by car, simply turn right as you enter the resort—it is well signposted. Alternatively, a wonderful morning excursion for everyone is to take the very affordable tourist train from Portinatx, which follows a scenic route through the north and allows plenty of time to visit the caves.
