A very curious place: it is an area in which various types of fruit trees, and even rice, have historically been planted.
The path that crosses it is beautiful and it is very pleasant to circulate among these historic plantations that were once very important on the island.

Near the ravine, on the cliffs of Cala en Porter, is the famous Cova d’en Xoroi, a cave with one of the most popular legends of Menorca. According to the story, a mysterious castaway or pirate called Xoroi found refuge in this cave and lived there for years with a Menorcan woman who had been kidnapped. Over time, they had children and lived in hiding until they were discovered. When they were pursued, Xoroi and one of his children jumped into the sea from the cliffs and were never heard from again.
