Majorca - Caves of Hams

(Local Name: Cuevas dels Hams) 2km/1.5mi west of Porto Cristo on the road to Manacor are the Cuevas dels Hams ("Caves of the Fish-Hooks"). The caves get their name from the shape of some of the stalactitic formations, particularly in the chamber known as the Angel's Dream, which grow in all directions and curve into the shape of fish-hooks. In these caves too there is an underground lake, known as the "Venetian Lake".
