Description
The Viejo Búnker is a crumbling coastal structure in Es Pelats that tends to catch the eye of walkers passing by.
What's the story behind it?
The name "Búnker" is a little misleading: local voices describe the structure not as a military bunker at all, but as a former lobster vivero — a holding tank where freshly caught crayfish were kept alive. Parts of the building sit below the waterline. Its precise historical origins remain unclear, and debate about its past use continues to this day.
Condition & atmosphere
The structure is heavily dilapidated, covered in graffiti, and generally in a sorry state. Visitors report litter and an unpleasant smell. That said, those who happen past early in the morning can catch a striking play of light on the water inside the building.
How to find it
The structure sits at Carrer Torre Cega 10 in Es Pelats, Mallorca — a quiet coastal urbanisation above Cala Ratjada, tucked between the beaches of Cala Gat and Cala Agulla. It's reachable on foot via the local walking paths that wind through the surrounding pine groves.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Viejo Búnker a real military bunker?
No. Visitors and local sources describe the structure as a former lobster vivero — a holding tank for live crayfish — rather than a military installation. Its precise historical use, however, remains uncertain.
Is it worth making a special trip?
At best, it works as a brief stop-off while out walking. Given its run-down condition, heading there specifically is unlikely to be worth your while.
