Surprising

A group of buildings used to store ammunition during the Civil War. They are cavities dug into the rock, which still retain traces of their original function.

It is one of the most impressive prehistoric sites in Menorca, notable for its monumental table, one of the best preserved on the island, with an inclined slab resting on the central monolith. It dates from the Talayotic period (1000 BC) and has talayots, caves carved into the rock, houses, cyclopean walls and a ceremonial enclosure. Accessible by mountain bike or gravel, it is ideal for a cycle tour combined with other nearby sites such as Torre d'en Galmés or Naveta des Tudons. An essential place to discover the Talayotic history of Menorca. 🚴‍♂️

In the ravine and its surroundings there are remains from the Talayotic period, with caves that were used as necropolises, especially in the nearby area of Calescoves, where there are more than 90 burial caves dug into the rock. It is believed that this ravine was a communication route between the interior of the island and the coast, used by the ancient Menorcan communities.

Near the ravine, on the cliffs of Cala en Porter, is the famous Cova d’en Xoroi, a cave with one of the most popular legends of Menorca. According to the story, a mysterious castaway or pirate called Xoroi found refuge in this cave and lived there for years with a Menorcan woman who had been kidnapped. Over time, they had children and lived in hiding until they were discovered. When they were pursued, Xoroi and one of his children jumped into the sea from the cliffs and were never heard from again.
