Authentic Mediterranean art of living in all the senses

On 18 September 2023, UNESCO officially included Talayotic Menorca as a World Heritage Site in an international recognition of its exceptional value. An authentic open-air museum that stands out for its state of conservation and which includes more than 1,500 archaeological sites that have been inventoried between the Bronze Age and the Iron Age. A unique opportunity to get to know and visit this heritage site, which is a unique and valuable testimony of a past civilisation and a landscape that dates back more than 4,000 years. Alcaufar Vell can help you organise your visit with a professional guide.

Alcaufar Vell has always been an estate closely linked to the municipality of Sant Lluís and its people. For centuries it was an important agricultural and farming operation, producing coal and extracting sandstone, among other things. Furthermore, until well into the 20th century it was fully operational thanks to the hard work of many of the municipality's residents. That is why every year a series of guided tours are organised to learn about the family ancestors of Alcaufar Vell, the architecture of a unique estate, the anecdotes and the day-to-day life of a life rooted in the countryside and in Menorca.

Albert Camus is a world reference of rebellion, justice and humanism. His thought has inspired several generations and can still serve us today, in a world as convulsed as the one he lived in, to try to understand ourselves better and help us to recover a Mediterranean space that is once again a reference, from the cultural point of view, on the global agenda. Since 2017, the Albert Camus Mediterranean Meetings & Awards have become an annual meeting of world thought in Menorca, with the French writer as a beacon to weave a present tailored to human beings. From Alcaufar Vell we have always been linked, as when we hosted the press conference of the visual artist Mona Hatoum, accompanied by the promoter of this event, Miguel Ángel Moratinos and the Moroccan writer and member of the jury, Tahar Ben Jelloun.
