Sepulcre megalític de Ses Roques Llises

A single hole through a stone slab is the only way into the burial chamber, and it is the first thing your eye goes to. The tomb belongs to the oldest layer of Menorca's monuments, built before the talayots that stand across the island's countryside, and an information board beside it explains what you are looking at. Next to the chamber stands a second structure of unknown origin that has not been excavated.

The tomb sits between the Camí de Cavalls and Torre d'en Galmés, one of the largest Talayotic settlements on the island. One walk takes in both: the stone grave of an earlier people first, then the village of those who came after.

• The tomb is poorly signposted. Mark it in a map app before you set out.
• The road to the gate is a very narrow rural lane, with space for one car at the gate. Parking at Torre d'en Galmés and walking in avoids it.
• There are no toilets or drinking water at the tomb, and none nearby. Bring what you need.
• Torre d'en Galmés lies 900 m to 1 km away, so the two fit into one outing.

The tomb is poorly signposted from every direction, so keep a map app open with it marked.

On the Camí de Cavalls, on the stretch between Son Bou and Cala en Porter, the turn-off comes near point 16-071. Head inland towards Torre d'en Galmés and the tomb is 270 m off the coast path. From there you can go back to the Camí de Cavalls or carry on 900 m to the settlement.

From the Torre d'en Galmés car park, walk out along the path that leads towards Cala en Porter; the tomb is 900 m to 1 km away.

By car, the last stretch is a very narrow rural road, and at the gate there is space for one car.

Best: spring or autumn, in the morning or late afternoon.

Avoid: the middle of the day in high summer.

The tomb is reached on foot across open Menorcan countryside, often as part of a longer walk to Torre d'en Galmés or along the Camí de Cavalls, there is no drinking water near the site, and low sun brings out the texture of the stone slabs.
