Description

Ses Fonts Ufanes is a natural wonder near Campanet: springs that suddenly burst from the forest floor after heavy rainfall, making a rare phenomenon visible in the flesh.

The Phenomenon

Ses Fonts Ufanes is a protected natural monument. What makes it special: the springs only emerge when a significant amount of rain has fallen in a short period — typically in autumn and winter. When the water breaks through the ground, the sight is nothing short of magical and breathtaking. Without enough rainfall, the ground stays dry and the forest itself takes centre stage. Local Mallorcan media reliably report when the springs are flowing, making them the best guide for timing your visit.

Forest and Footpaths

Even without the spring spectacle, a visit is well worthwhile. A holm oak woodland surrounds the site, offering dappled shade and a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. The laid-out paths are flat and well maintained, and the main routes are accessible by wheelchair. Toilets are available on site.

Location & Getting There

The site sits near Campanet in the north-west of Mallorca, at the foot of the Tramuntana mountains. The address is 07310 Campanet. Parking can be found near the church and in the village, though spaces become considerably harder to find on busy days.
