Our last anchorage along Menorca�s southern coast was Cala Porte (Cala en Porter).  While at this anchorage, we visited the famous disco cave bar, Cova d�en Xoroi, created from a succession of natural caves; we walked to the Talayotic archeological site, So Na Cacana; and we visited via dinghy Calacoves where almost a hundred burial caves had been hollowed out along the cliffs by the inhabitants of the Talayotic civilization.
Two types of boats had become common sights, and before our arrival in the Balearics we had never seen boats exactly like these.  The first we called the �litter scooper�, a boat designed to pick up litter floating on the surface of the water.  These boats were seen daily passing through all the calas keeping the waters clean.  The second was a paddle boat with a slide, called a �pedalo�.  We saw these in anchorages with resorts, like in Cala en Porter.
