If we talk about the Cala TurquetaWe have to talk about Menorca and that it is a virgin cove, with beautiful turquoise waters, surrounded by a magical environment. Hence, knowing these details, this place has nothing to envy other beaches with the name of paradisiacs.
Although there are many similar places that Menorca has, this one stands out above the others. Perhaps because it has become one of the emblematic points in terms of its beauty. Although on the other hand, also its location and all the environment it has to offer us, makes us fall in love a little more with it. Do you want to know everything you need about Cala Turqueta?
How to get to Cala Turqueta
We have said that it is located in Menorca, in the south of the island, and within it, it belongs to the so-called Citadel. It is said of it that it is the second most important place on the island. So, it won't cost you anything to find it either. It has more than 27.000 inhabitants and also has idyllic areas such as the port. But leaving it, you have to look closely at the indications, because they are very visible so that there is no loss. There is a detour just at the southern roundabout and in the direction that goes towards Mahón. It can be said that if you go by car, It will take you about 10 minutes from Ciudadela.
During the summer months, it also has a bus line. They leave from Ciudatella and it would be line 68. In the same way, said bus would also leave you at the height of the parking lot. So if you don't want to go around parking, nothing like catching the bus and checking its schedules, both outward and return.
What we will find in Cala Turqueta
Once in this area, we will have to leave the car in its parking lot. From him, it is necessary to walk about 10 minutes, to be able to get to the beach itself. But of course, the journey is worth it. More than anything for everything that you are going to discover at every step and of course, for the great paradise that awaits you at the end of it. A beach that has turquoise waters and very calm. Hence its name derives from this quality. In addition, the sand is fine and everything is surrounded by pine trees. Right in this area of the pine forest we also have picnic tables.
At the beginning we said that it is a virgin cove and it is true. But even so, it has a beach bar in the parking area. A perfect idea in case we delay longer and run out of supplies. In addition, close to the beach you have bathrooms and there, a lifeguard. So as we see, it is a very complete and ideal place to spend a great day with the family. But there is still more, we cannot forget the cliffs that surround it and that also consists of two types of mini-beaches that have a rocky ledge.
What to see near Cala Turqueta
A little more than a kilometer away, we will find another cove. In this case, the call Cala Macarelleta. An area suitable for nudism and on its opposite side, we will find Macarella. Yes, it is another of the coves preferred by tourism. It is one of the most famous in Menorca. Perhaps both she and Turquesa could say that they are rivals. More than anything because in both cases, the crystal clear waters are the main protagonists.
On the other hand, Turqueta is said to be the beginning and also the end of two stages of the acquaintance, 'Camí de Cavalls'. It is a path through which you can travel Menorca, in different stages and all of them well signposted. So, after leaving the coves mentioned behind, we can also access Cala Galdana. It has high cliffs and although it is somewhat protected by them or closed, its beauty is also impressive. Here you have all the services you want, since it is an area very focused on tourism. From Galdana we can reach Cala Mitjana in just 20 minutes walking. This place also has parking and it goes without saying that it is another essential corner.
Facts to consider
Most of those places mentioned and as such, of Cala Turqueta, they are usually a very popular destination. Therefore, in the summer there will be quite a lot of people. This you have to take into account when going to the Calas. More than anything because it is best to go early to make sure there is a parking space waiting for us. Besides that, being places a bit small, we don't want to run out of space in the sand either. So it is usual to arrive early to be able to enjoy our favorite corners.
But if you find the parking lot is full, you will not be the last to know. Since there is usually some signs in the form of notices. These will indicate which are those that still have places and those that are already covered. All of this usually appears on the access road to the beaches. This way we will know well where we can shoot without having to turn much. Have you already visited this place?
