Es Castell has plenty to offer its residents and visitors alike in the way of shopping, restaurants, and nightlife. There are market days twice a week, and the town has its own annual fiesta, the Fiesta de San Jaume, at the end of July. Many of the bars and restaurants are situated around the two coves, Cala Corb, and more especially Cales Fonts, and many are in converted caves around the harbour - a superb atmospheric setting. Many of these caves were believed to have been carved out by the earliest inhabitants around 2500 BC.
A turning off the roundabout at the entrance to Es Castell leads to the prehistoric village of Trepuco and just 1Km from Son Vilar. There can be found a massive talyot (conical mound of stones - some have an inside chamber and passage) and taula , (which is unique to Menorca – a huge upright stone slab, supporting another large slab lying horizontally across it). Mystery still surrounds their purpose, and indeed how the got there!
