stevesparks visited on 18th Oct 2009 - their rating: Cond: 3 Amb: 4 Access: 5 A very interesting site and well worth a visit if you're in Menorca much is in a good state of preservation with some reconstruction done, information centre with an exhibition and a video presentation is a couple of hundred metres down the road where you can buy admission tickets , can't remember price but thought it very reasonable. Parking onsite and just about wheelchair accessable for the adventurous, there may even be a bus stop nearby.

A large Iron Age settlement includes three talayots, a sanctuary with broken taula, sala hipostila and remains of numerous circular houses. The site was occupied also in Roman and Islamic periods.
