In a place to the south of the island is the town of Es Migjorn Gran, formerly known as San Cristóbal.It originated around 1769 through the efforts of a group of men from Ferreries led by Cristóbal Barber, who gave his name to the original hermitage around which the quiet little town was formed.There was born and practiced his profession as a doctor D. Francisco Camps Mercadal, a notable historian and folklorist, a patient investigator of the customs, stories, and songs of the rural sector. The municipality of Es Migjorn Gran is the region of all the Balearic Islands richest in megalithic monuments, with a density of 5 prehistoric remains per Km2; as his parish priest wrote graphically in the early twentieth century, the whole area is a talayot.Among the main remains of the past stand out the magnificent Cova des Colom, the size of a cathedral; the hypostyle hall of Binigaus and the colossal talayot of Sant Agustí Vell, whose large chamber is of a unique interest in archaeology. The beaches of Santo Tomas and Binigaus are also within the municipal area of Es Migjorn Gran.The town has a series of hiking routes along the Cami de Cavalls, as well as a circular route of 2.8 km that encircles the town to admire the typical orchards and local customs.
