Sa Galera: Archaeology by the Sea

Sa Galera is an archaeological site on an island off the coast of Can Pastilla; a shallow strait separates it from the coast. The island is about 50 metres long and reaches a maximum height of 7.3 metres. The site is protected as a BIC Monument under Decree 2563/1966. Its finds attest to around 4,000 years of human activity and include huts and materials from the pre-Talayotic, Talayotic and Punic periods. These three period names divide the long span of time into distinct historical phases. Together with the huts and materials, they give the site a concrete temporal and material dimension. For travellers interested in archaeological history as well as water activities, Sa Galera provides a striking cultural highlight.

Paths Nearby

The coastal path in Es Carnatge is suitable for pedestrians and cyclists of all ages. Es Carnatge lies between Coll d'en Rabassa and Can Pastilla. Its suitability for pedestrians and cyclists makes the path a specific option for getting active on land, while the beach puts water sports centre stage. If you would like to plan a walk or cycle ride as well as activities by the water, Es Carnatge is a distinct point of reference for planning your day.

Travelling with a Dog

At Cala Pudent, dogs are allowed to run freely and swim with their owners. If you are travelling with a dog, this is a specific option nearby; check the current local rules before visiting.
