It is a protected from the weather in a lee
and is a haven for the Citadel and fishermen who can use the Bay to shelter
during severe storms while they are out fishing. It is also one of the few
entry points along a coastline of predominantly high cliffs and revealing North
wind.
At the top of the cliffs are vast pine forests, dotted with white houses in the
Ibizan style, after the style of architect Luis Rey, who along with Enrique
Ventura, were the visionaries who conceived this development and made the dream
come true.
Since the 1960s the style has marked and defined
the houses for more than 30 years. New design has come to the area creating
controversy about the break in traditions.
In a valley that ends
at the beach is a set of remarkable prehistoric caves dug into the ravine being
an unparalleled example such a site and the necropolis of Talayotic Cala Morell
, within walking distance of the beach with unique views of each side of the creek
one will see a curious phenomenon where each side belongs to a clearly visible
different geological era and this is visible to the naked eye. This only occurs
on the island of Menorca
and the Balearic islands as they belong to the
same geological era.
Cala Morell is a
natural bay in the Town of Ciutadella located to the North of the island of
Menorca.
The Bay has a small sandy beach and is ideal to enjoy sunbathing, and the
seabed is half sand, half rock and noted for its clear waters. From the cliffs
surrounding the bay the sea bed can often be seen and there is a cove at one
end with rocks and an underwater cave, which is a source of fresh water
accessed by diving and enjoying the marine wealth and beauty.
