Rafal Rubí’s archaeological site comprises two funerary navetas that can be traced back to the Middle-to-Late Bronze Ages. This is discounting the fact that some other materials at the site hark back to the 1400s, implying its use in the Middle Ages as well. Collective monuments in honor of the departed, they are identical to the ones at Naveta des Tudons. However the ones at Rafal Rubi are diminutive and are peculiarly proximal between them. They depict a stone slab that serves as doorway to the inner compartment, itself divided by level. There is no access for the differently-abled. It is, however, free for all ages.
The Talayotic settlement of Torrellisar in Alaior’s municipal area includes various structures and highlights a taula enclosure and two talayots, with one of them possibly housing an inner chamber, semi-altered in recent endeavors, such as agriculture, in the previous few centuries. Taula enclosures witnessed the ritual consumption of meat and wine over roughly 500 years before Roman times. No record exists of any taula enclosure ever having been excavated. The purpose of Talayots, the large cone-shaped constructions eponymous with the Talayotic culture, is unclear. Other structures dot the archaeological area. The remains date back from the Early Talayotic period (Late Bronze Age) to the Iron Age. They have been reused more recently.
Sa Torreta de Tramuntana town is situated in the northern part of the Balearic island of Menorca, dominating much of the coast and the surrounding valleys, and in prehistoric times, it was under water. The settlement and town of sa Torreta’s prehistoric origins can be traced back to early settlers in 1600 BC, who occupied it until it was Romanized. With the rise of Islam and the establishment of the first Islamic Caliphate, it was colonized by the Moors. In 1931, an archaeologist by the name of Margaret A. Murray unearthed a burial vessel a short distance from the village.
The Talayotic village of Torrellafuda, located in Ciutadella municipality, is perhaps the most visitable site on the island. With an ullastres forest as the environs, a talaiot, that is, a flatland, houses a necropolis comprising hypogeums. Some Roman-era lead bullets have been uncovered. The town was inhabited from the Talaiotic period to the Middle Ages as indicated by the ceramic shards found on the surface. The talaiot is perhaps the largest of its kind in Menorca although surrounded by a wall that takes away from its monumental character. A lateral support with its capital is often confused with the real table, which remains fallen in the center. The support, broken into two, measures more than 3 meters in length. The capital is easy to spot because of the T-shaped slot at the base meant to jigsaw fit with the support. The town's attraction may be the wall, but its antecedents are largely modern.
A part of the ancient Talayotic settlement in Menorca, Talaiot de Trepucó is a T-shaped stone monument. This megalithic structure is 4 meters (13 feet) tall and 1.84 meters (6 feet) broad. It is believed that this ancient structure was either used as a shrine or a burial. This prehistoric settlement is also home to other structures like stone houses, caves, a watch tower and more. Several excavated items like utensils and animal bones are displayed at the local Menorca Museum.
Spanish wines are famous for their rich flavours thanks to the traditional techniques of viticulture that are still prevalent in the country. The Bodegas was first started in 1979 C.E. and is presently a winery with the perfect blend of old and new techniques of wine-making. Visit the winery to witness the production process on the upper floor of the structure. Here, you can also buy bottles of wine. The ground floor, however, is reserved for the most important process-ageing of wine-where you see a number of oak barrels filled with wine and left for years so that the liquid develops a superior consistency and taste with time. Thereafter, you can totally hit their restaurant and wine bar to sip the delicious liquid over some food.
