Comet of the Dead

From Lluc, the route continues to a left-hand turn and, a few metres later, to the right, passing through a gate to enter the football field. The field is crossed and a small bridge gives access to a karst erosion environment. The cobbled path climbs through a holm oak forest with buckthorn and undergrowth of lemon-scented rockrose and mastic, reaching the pas des Bous. In a few minutes you arrive at a sitja, a point where you can take the detour towards Es Camell and the nearby viewpoint. On the way back, the path continues with a moderate slope through forest and areas of reed grass, until a fork where the right-hand trail leads to the Cometa des Morts. The cavity is reached by following a small trail inside the holm oak wood, passing an olive tree with a “V”-shaped trunk and a sitja circle. The entrance is a narrow corridor descending underground. The return is made by retracing the path to the road, which is followed briefly before descending along a wide track that leads back to the football field and the starting point.
