The Pont d’en Gil is a “hanging” bridge in the middle of the sea in the Ciutadella area. It is a “hole” in the cliffs through which small and medium-sized boats can pass.

It is possible to get there on foot or by bike (thanks to the Camí de Cavalls), but the best way to get there is undoubtedly by sea.

Next to Pont d’en Gil there is an underwater cave well known by divers on the island, called Sa Cigonya. With a depth of about 300 meters. The cave can be seen from the sea, but it is only possible to enter it from underwater.

Make SlackLine a Privileged Environment

The pont d’en Gil is a privileged environment for SlackLine practitioners (which are not many).

Slackline is a sport of skill and balance that consists of hanging an elastic rope (sometimes over the sea) and traveling the distance between the two ends trying not to fall.
