Ancient Village or Settlement in Balearic Isles (Mallorca)

This is one of the largest findings of socalled "Navetiformes" or "Navetas". This was on Majorca the common housetype of the pretalayotic aera, which was from 3.000 to 1.500 before Christ.
In Ca'n Gaià are at least 10 navetas but 8 of them still waiting for excavation.

I thought this site would be difficult to find as it wasn't shown on my map. However it is well signposted when you reach Portocolom from Felanitz and it is right next to the road.
