Cova de Can Sion

Location: Cova de Can Sion (Pollensa 2 59'54"E 39 50'09"N)

Cova de Can Sion is located from the road 7Km between Pollensa and Campanet. Ask for permission to park at the farm (C'an Sion). Walk through the gate near an obvious parking area and follow the track to the end. It is a long walk, but keep to the main path and you won't go far wrong. The path ends at a small cliff. From here, head downhill to two tall Pine trees. The entrance is in a small rock face nearby.

Description:

Can Sion is basically one big chamber, and so cannot really be described. Route finding is, however, a little more complex as you must negotiate giant boulders and stal floes. In one corner of the cave is a steep slope going down about 100'. This area, like the rest of the cave, is extremely well decorated. It is, in fact, probably the best-decorated cave that we did. This cave also contains a large Bat colony. Indeed, at one point, the entire wall took flight! Care should be taken with regard to the large quantities of Guano.
