To the right of the "central talayot", as we look it from the precinct of the "taula".

The site (a "village")is near the "Camí de Cotaines", narrow asphalted road that from the highway Alaior-Cala en Porter connects with the highway Maó-Ciutadella near the crossing of this with the one that leads to the Airport of Minorca.

And the quickest form of arriving to it is to take the aforementioned highway Maó-Ciutadella, in direction to this last town, and, later on, to turn to the left by the first asphalted road that we find after the crossing with the highway that leads to the airport.
