The Ecomuseo de Cavalleria is located in the northern most part if the island, known as the Tramontana (northern wind) coast. The spectacular Cape of Cavalleria forms a natural rock wall made of limestone, that rises to a height of 90 meter above sea level. The Cape de Cavalleria is the northern most cape of the Balearic islands .

Tramontana is a coast line much higher than the southern region of Menorca with large rock formations and spectacular cliffs like the Mola de Fornells. This rugged terrain holds the sea back, not letting it advance easily upon the land.
