These former marble quarries host a variety of events and cultural activities in addition to guided tours.

Impressive old marlstone quarries! This limestone, 99% of which consists of the remains of marine fossils, was used in the construction of houses in the Balearic Islands and mainland Spain. Pedreres de s'Hostal is divided into two quarries, one dating back to the 17th century, the other more recent. In addition to guided tours, the site hosts a variety of events and summer cultural events such as the Fosquets de Lithica. There are also lovely gardens and a labyrinth of stone blocks.

Quelque chose de différent à voir à Minorque. Des vues agréables

Tres belle découverte et balade même avec les enfants.
Les carrières sont très belles. Espace hors du temps avec des jardins botaniques.

Il s'agit d'une ancienne carrière de pierre de mares typique des apports minorquins.

Deux étoiles parce qu’on a vu deux lézards (les seuls habitants du lieu). Le jardin botanique est plutôt post-apocalyptique: plantes cramées, zéro entretien, pas une goutte d’eau. Le labyrinthe est pas mal mais ça fait cher la balade.
