Es Cavallet means “little horse” in Spanish, the name of this beach actually refers to the time when a small horse was present to turn the wheel that was right at the entrance to the beach.

It was thanks to this wheel and its mechanism that the surrounding ponds were able to be filled with water several years ago and produce the famous Ibiza salt.
