This group of
islands known as the Balearic Islands has a smooth coast line which is
dominated by various bays, coves and capes. Nevertheless, there are a few
rugged landscapes and cliffs. Majorca has the largest mountains of the
islands, some summits reaching 1,445 metres (Puig Major) and 1,340 metres
(Puig de Massanella). There are no large rivers on the islands due to the
moderate rainfall, the permeable soil and the actual size of the islands
themselves. Its waterways are dominated by watercourses and torrents. The
subsoil, however, houses important aquifers that have given rise to major
caves of extraordinary beauty, that include the Drach and the Arta caves in
Majorca, and Xoroi cave in Minorca.
