From here we head inland and from Felanitx, two beautiful climbs lead to the Castell de Santueri and the Santuari de la Mare de Déu de Sant Salvador. Porto Cristo is a charming little resort with the famous Cuevas del Drac nearby. The caves are well worth a visit to enjoy a concert and a unique boat trip on the underground lake.   (approx 106km or 65km)
