Cales Coves

Menorca


A 5km drive east then south from Cala en Porter, these 90 Bronze-Age caves dug into the coastal cliffs are believed to have been used for ritual burials. Though not open to the public, they make a remarkable sight from the outside. The signposted car park is 800m north of pebbly Cales Coves beach.
