Description

The Ses Fonts Ufanes Interpretation Centre in Campanet is dedicated to one of Mallorca's most remarkable natural phenomena: the karst springs that burst from the ground only after heavy rainfall.

The Phenomenon at the Heart of It All

The centre explains the hydrogeological phenomenon of Ses Fonts Ufanes — springs that only become active after prolonged rainfall, when water pushes up through the earth in dramatic fashion. It also sheds light on the early history surrounding this natural spectacle: the island's first settlers were deeply struck by the sight of springs suddenly erupting from the ground. Do bear in mind that the centre is not always accessible — some visitors have found it closed on arrival.

The Springs Themselves: All Down to the Rain

If you want to see the springs in full flow, you'll need patience and the right weather. Even a week of moderate rain can be too little to trigger the phenomenon, leaving the streambed completely dry. When the water does run, however, visitors describe the sight as spectacular. The surrounding oak woodland is well worth a wander in its own right, whatever the conditions.

Where to Find It

The Interpretation Centre is located in Campanet in the north of Mallorca, postcode 07310.
