Cales Coves

A small bay where two narrow inlets meet, with about a hundred prehistoric burial caves carved into its cliffs, an important Talayotic-era necropolis.

The cliff caves were used as tombs from the 9th century BC. They were later also inhabited by hippies, and are now closed for protection, so you can only admire them from the bay or the path. The small bay is calm and clear, and sailing boats often anchor there. Reaching it on foot from the Cala en Porter direction takes about 30 minutes, and there are no facilities. The site is part of the World Heritage site 'Talayotic Menorca'.
