Cova d'en Xoroi
Alaior







A place to visit.
What is Sa cova?
Stunning by day and at night, so it is Cova d’en Xoroi. A viewpoint with breathtaking views at dawn, dusk, and to gaze the spell of the moon. A leisure place for drinks in the morning, relax in the afternoon and dance at night.
A viewpoint with spectacular views,day and night, and a grotto steeped in mythology with nooks and crannies waiting to be discovered.
It is therefore a place not to be missed, where you can relax with music, have a drink and dance the night away until the sun comes up.
These rocks, perfumed by the sea air, hold with their imposing beauty the legend of a love story..
Xoroi, a man of unknown past who arrived by sea, nobody knows how, possibly the only survivor of a shipwreck, took refuge in the cave. The surrounding country houses were frequently pillaged. A beautiful girl about to be married disappeared from one of these houses. Months and years passed... Nothing more was heard of the missing girl. One winter's day, the island was covered in an unusual snowfall. In the snow, telltale footprints appeared. Armed men followed the footprints down into the cave. In the cave they found a man, a woman and three children born of their love. Xoroi, seeing himself cornered and powerless, threw himself into the sea followed by his eldest son. The sea that had brought him closed over them, keeping the mystery of his life.
