Cova d´en Xoroi
Cova d´en Xoroi
Cova d’en Xoroi is a natural cave located in Cala en Porter, on the south coast of Menorca. You can visit both day and night.
The cave is named after Xoroi, according to a legend, a stranger who had come to the island, kidnapped a girl and took her to the cave.
One winter’s day, the island dressed in unusual snow and footprints in the snow led the farmers to Xoroi´s cave. The armed men entered the cave, and found Xoroi and the girl had three children. At being cornered, Xoroi and his eldest son, jump off the cliff to the sea.
His wife and two children were taken to Alaior, where it is said that the descendants of the couple are still living.
At present the Cova d’en Xoroi is a place of leisure where you can have a snack in the morning; relax in the afternoon with chill out music and dancing at night.
It has a balcony with spectacular views, from which you can contemplate the sunrise, sunset and the spell of the moon.
