Torralba d'en Salort Poblat View all content for Torralba d'en Salort

The lane between Alaoir and Cala'n Porter where we were staying was a tortuous one we had to travel many, many times... There're some great sites down here though. Torralba d'en Salort (see pages 316 to 318 of TME) lay at the top of this lane and having seen the top of the taula sticking up already I was itching to see the place. All the regular poblat features here: caves, talaiot, cisterns, houses and also a wonderful quarry area. The place was crawling with caterpillars though so I had to move with extreme caution. Cleo and Rupes liked this one as there were tons to explore and had informative signs to help them understand what they were seeing. As ever, the main attraction for me was the taula itself. To aid stability, this taula has a ridge carved up the back and is thicker than Trepuco's wafer thin cheese slice. I chose a caterpillar-free area to sit in and made a sketch.
