Discovering Cala Coves

If you want to live a magical moment, I recommend heading to the Calas Coves. It’s one of the most beautiful places to enjoy the sea: it’s a series of over 100 artificial caves that were used in the 9th century as a burial ground and were a site of pilgrimage up until the Roman era.

Later on, the caves were used as a base for diving and some fishermen even set up homes in the caves. Today, it’s a preferred destination for leisure boats and it has a combination of history and natural beauty unlike many other places in the world. It has optimum marine conditions and is perfect for snorkeling and diving.

It’s a fantastic summer refuge for boats navigating along the Menorcan coast. The access is a bit difficult but it’s worthwhile to go. If you follow the signs, you’ll end up in a free parking area and you can do the last leg of the trip on foot.

The waters are clean and clear and make for a very nice swim. The ferny vegetation also makes for excellent views.

I guarantee you’ll love it

This cove is located at the end of a landing which leads to the cove itself. The cove is located between two cliffs full of caves that were once a prehistoric necropolis and later were home to a collective of hippies, who, I believe, were kicked out since they were considered to be damaging the prehistoric caves.

The beaches are made of stone and aren't as pretty as the rest of the coves on the islands, but it’s worth it to go for the caves and to take a quick dip in the sea.

It’s a nudist cove and was once the principal nudist cove in Menorca. I should also mention that there are no nearby buildings.

It’s pretty difficult to access but I guarantee that you’ll love it.

Calas Coves

Si quieres vivir un momento mágico os recomiendo que os acerqueis hasta las Calas Coves. Es una de las zonas más bellas para disfrutar del mar, se trata de un conjunto de más de cien cuevas artificiales que a partir del siglo IX a.c se utilizaron para enterrar a los difuntos y eran hasta la época romana un lugar de peregrinaje.Más tarde la cala sirvió para fondear y en algunas cuevas se instalaron pescadores para vivir. Hoy es el fondeadero preferido de los barcos de recreo, ya que en poco sitios se dan cita la naturaleza y la historia de un modo tan espectacular. La cala está dotada de unas optimas condiciones marinas y subacuáticas para el fondeo de embarcaciones, aunque carece un lugar para varar. Es también un fantástico refugio en verano para los barcos que navegan por la costa sur menorquina. El acceso es un poco díficil pero que merece la pena ir, si se sigue los desvios se llegará a una zona de aparcamiento gratuito y finalmente el último tramo se tiene que hacer a pie. Sus aguas son limpias, claras ...perfectas para darse un buen baño. Su paisaje es de naturaleza frondosa con unas vistas espectaculares.

If you want to live a magic moment I recommend you go near to the Calas Coves. It is one of the most beautiful areas to enjoy the sea, it is a set of over a hundred artificial caves from the ninth century BC were used to bury the dead and to the Roman era were a place of peregrinaje.Más later Creek served to anchor and some fishermen settled caves to live. Today is the favorite anchorage for boats, since in some places come together nature and history as dramatically. The cove is provided with optimal marine and underwater conditions for anchoring boats, although it lacks a place for beaching. It is also a fantastic summer refuge for ships sailing along the south coast of Menorca. Access is a little difficult but worth a go, if you follow the detours will lead to a parking area and finally the last section has to be done on foot. Its waters are clean, clear ... perfect to take a dip. Nature The landscape is lush with spectacular views.

Have a good little while between naturale

Pasar un ratito agradable entre la naturale

Perfecta para pasear, hacer escalada, ir en barca o simplemente hacer senderismo. Esta llena de cuevas y eso hace mas entretenida la ruta. Al fondo de la senda hay una pequeña playita para darte un chapuzón y así terminar tu pequeña aventura.

Perfect for walking, climbing, boating or just hiking. It is full of caves and that makes the route more entertaining. At the bottom of the road there is a small little beach to take a dip and so finish your little adventure.

Awesome!

Impresionante!

Muy cerca de Cala'n Porter, camino no de cabras, para ir en coche. No es playa de arena, si no de piedras. Lo mejor es bordear por el lateral derecho, y aparece estampas como esta! Yo no aconsejo ir con niños!

Very near Cala'n Porter, no goat path, to drive. No sandy beach, if not stones. It is best to go around for the right side, and see pictures like this! I do not advise going with kids!

Senderismo

Una buena ruta de senderismo desde cala en porter que acaba en una pequeña cala cp muchas cuevas y recovecos dignos de investigar. La cala no destaca por su belleza pero si se puede ver una bonita puesta de sol desde el extremo mas oriental.

A good walking route from Cala en Porter terminating in a small cove cp many caves and crannies worth investigating. The creek is not known for its beauty but if you can see a beautiful sunset from the easternmost.

Dispone de parking de tierra gratuito, a 15 minutos andando de la cala. La zona es muy bonita y salvaje, pero al llegar estaba llena de algas. Puedes andar por los márgenes de la cala y accedes a otra zona con el agua bastante más limpia, pudiendo ver muchas cuevas a ambos lados de la montaña.

Parking is available free land, 15 minutes walk from the cove. The area is very beautiful and wild, but on arrival was full of algae. You can walk along the banks of the creek and you come to another area with a lot more clean water and can see many caves on both sides of the mountain.
