Description

Caballos de Rolf Schaffner is an open-air group of stone sculptures in the municipality of Santanyí, Mallorca — a largely forgotten spot well off the beaten tourist track.

Stone Horses in the Undergrowth

Alongside the Ma-6100 road near Santanyí stand stone sculptures by German artist Rolf Schaffner, gradually reclaimed over the years by the surrounding vegetation. The stone horses are the heart of the site — original, striking, and wrapped in an atmosphere that many visitors describe as magical, almost archaeological. The works are in a somewhat dilapidated state, with parts of the sculptures already missing.

Location & Getting There

The site sits along the Ma-6100 near Santanyí. You can park on the roadside close to a roundabout, from where narrow informal paths lead to the sculptures. The entrance is unsigned and takes a little finding — the gap in the fence and the trail through the scrub are yours to discover. Wearing long trousers is a good idea.

A Quick Stop, Not a Full Day Out

The visit works best as a brief detour for anyone already exploring the area. There are no guided tours or facilities on site. The appeal is in the discovery itself — find the path and you'll stumble upon unexpected art in the middle of nature.
