Cala Cova Tallada: How to get there
The Cova Tallada does not have a cove as such, as it is an artificially excavated grotto of about 400 metres. We can see how the cova is on one side above sea level and the other half below sea level. It is in this area that you can snorkel and enjoy the marine fauna and flora of the area.
This is why you should know that the cave does not have a beach as such or a cove, but as it is at sea level, you can leave the cave and go swimming or snorkelling in the area.
