Containing a beautiful church at its centre there are only two bar/restaurants, but the views are really what make this a point of interest. Situated on top of a cliff you can look down into the clear and turquoise waters and via several winding paths you can make your way down to the shore line.
Es Cubell’s church is small, whitewashed and has lateral buttresses. It was founded in 1864 thanks to the effort of a Carmelite Monk called Francesc Palau, who played an important role in the island’s history, since he spent long periods of his life as a hermit in the islet of es Vedrà. There is a sculpture next to the temple commemorating his life.
