The Sanitja port or Sanisera is a natural port
located next to the old roman town Sansiera. The port is in the
Caballeria cape and it has an approximately lenght of 800 meters and
very little depth which represent a perfect shelter against Tramuntana wind for boats.
The
port isn’t very exploited and you can barely see few little wooden
boats during high season. The entrance to the port used to be very
protected by the Sanitja Tower, a british Tower of Defense built of stone and mortar in 1801. The inside of the tower can’t be visited because over time, it has deteriorated significantly and it’s almost demolished.
The scientific name, Malva sylvestris,
is just as lovely as this flowering plant in the Malva genus, and is
more popularly known as high mallow or common mallow. This plant is often found in fields and hedgerows and has a striking purple flower. It is native to western Europe, but has
spread to portions of the Mediterranean and northern Africa, and has
been imported to much of the English-speaking world.
The flowers and leaves of this unique herb are used for medicinal purposes, particularly in topical applications as a pain reliever.
