Coves del Drac 

"Discovered" in 1896 by French scientist Edward Alfred Martell, who gave his name to Lake Martell here, one of the largest underground lakes in the world. I have to put the word "discovered" in inverted commas because the locals had, of course, known about them all the time, giving them their evocative name, which means "the dragon's caves." This is a very nice illustrated article from an English company specialising in farmhouse holidays on Majorca.

Cuevas dels Hams 

Not as spectacular as the Drach Caves, at least in terms of size, but well worth visiting. I learnt from Mallorca Farmhouses (http://www.mfh.co.uk/mallorca/) that the word "hams" is Mallorcan for "fish hooks," which the stalactites here look like.
