Here, you'll discover Roman tombs and original pottery fragments while marveling at the views. Picture the whole settlement as it once was with the help of your knowledgeable guide. You'll also visit the symbolic English watchtower, the Torre de Sa Nitja, built in 1800. This watchtower, essential for the defense and protection of the island, controlled the northern access to Menorca along with the Torre de Fornells.

As the day gives way to night and the sunset paints a picturesque backdrop, you'll partake in a local gastronomic experience. Sample the rich flavors of handmade cheeses with DO status, plus meats like sobrasada and carnixua, while sipping on a refreshing drink.
