Discover Barranc d'Algendar and purchase your dream property in Menorca

Menorca's impressive nature features many highlights that delight tourists and islanders alike. In addition to fine sandy beaches and beautiful bays, there is much more to discover in terms of flora and fauna in Menorca. Among the well-known attractions is, for example, the Barranc d’Algendar, the most magnificent gorge on the island. It stretches from Ferreries to the coveted Cala Galdana and is 7 km long in total. In this article, the real estate agency Engel & Völkers Menorca presents you with a select property for sale in Es Migjorn and tells you about the Barranc d'Algendar.

Near the Barranc d'Algendar, first-class living awaits you once you purchase a property

The Barranc d'Algendar is one of the many impressive ecosystems in Menorca; it carries water all year round and therefore has a particularly lush landscape. What’s more, the Cova des Càrritx - a mysterious cave - is located in the gorge, which you can explore once you have your dream home in Menorca. The cave was only discovered in 1995 and had been inaccessible up to that point since Roman times due to a landslide. The Cova des Càrritx is of great archaeological importance, as prehistoric objects made of wood, ceramics and bones, to name but a few, have been found here, indicating humans lived there. The Barranc d'Algendar is on average 50 metres high and was created by the stream that flows through the valley. In the gorge you can discover a wide variety of plant and animal species: It mainly features aquatic plants, such as rushes and reeds. The Barranc d'Algendar is also home to kestrels, red kites, owls and peregrine falcons, as well as turtles, eels and frogs. Buy a house or a villa with support from the reliable real estate agents at Engel & Völkers Menorca and explore the Barranc d'Algendar, because just a trip to this gorge is not enough for nature lovers!
