17. Cala en Porter - Es Canutells

This section crosses two completely different environments as it passes from a winding path, carved out of the earth shaped by the gorges, to the flat terrain of the island. The fact that there are gorges on this section of the path means that several different natural spaces exist. Crossing the important gorge at Cala en Porter, there is a marsh just behind the beach. The path continues towards the gorge at Cala des Canutells, this is smaller than the one at Cala en Porter, but still surprises with its elm groves. Other minor gorges are also passed on this route; the ones at Binidalí and Biniparratx have charming scenary. The final part of the path leaves behind the gorges to turn into a typical Minorcan countryside scene consisting of farmland and bushes lined with endless dry stone walls.
