== Geography == The relief is not very pronounced. It takes in three areas: the flat region of the Pla, where the town of Manacor stands; the Serra de Llevant, characterised by its soft relief; and the Marina, which is formed by white gritty stone and inclines down to the sea. These limestone [[karst]]s have favoured the appearance of caves. The most outstanding for their beauty are the [[Cuevas del Drach|Dragon Caves]] and the [[Cuevas dels Hams|Fishhook Caves]]. Near the coast, there is one of the longest underwater caves known in Europe : the [[Gleda-Camp des Pou]] system. It has more than 13 km in length.

[[Image:CalaMagraner.jpg|thumb|Cala Magraner]] The climate is [[Mediterranean climate|Mediterranean]], with typically mild winters and hot summers. During the months of July and August, the weather is hot and sunny, boasting around 11 hours of sun daily. During the winter, the weather can get chilly, but mild.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Holiday guide for the town of Manacor, Mallorca, Balearic Islands |url=https://www.spain-holiday.com/Manacor |access-date=2022-10-12 |website=Spain-Holiday.com |language=en-GB}}</ref> The average annual temperature is between 16 and 17 °C. The forest area represents little more than 20% of the whole area. [[Pine]] forest is found in the mountainous areas but there are hardly any survivals of the indigenous [[Quercus ilex|holm-oak]] woodlands. The cultivated land represents 74% of the area. The agricultural landscape is characterized by [[almond|almond trees]], cereals, fig trees, carob trees and vineyard. The cultivation of vegetables is focused on melon, pepper and lettuce. The town of Manacor is crossed by the Sa Cabana stream. This stream flows into the Na Borges stream, the most important of the municipality.
