Menorca - At Long Last!
... was delish. The mussels were awesome too, and I wouldn't give up the dish until I finished drinking the special broth they made. Excuse me, Mr. Waiter, but it's considered a compliment if someone licks your plate!
The hotel in Ciudatella served some of the freshest beer. We had several. Burp! And, this family run hotel served up the most complete and incredible buffet breakfast with phenomenal coffee. I couldn't resist mooching refills. The cafes/eateries in Ciutadella were ...
