Calle Alisos s/n Cala'n Bosch, Minorca, Balearic Islands, Spain and Canary Islands, 07760, 971-387-022
... the small harbor. While the British occupied the island, they passed on their tradition of distilling juniper berries and to this day, Menorcan gin is prized. <br><br>After checking out the town square and walking around for a bit, we found a nice bar to get drinks in and tried the Menorcan gin. We returned to the boat for dinner and then hit the town again after dinner for more drinks and a place to hang out, people watch and relax.
Ciutadella, Balearic Islands, Spain mylifesjourneyFar de Favaritx is on the very northeast tip of the Menorca. There is a light house out on the very tip of cape and from the landscape it’s obvious that this area gets a lot of wind, heavy surf and storms.<br><br>We didn’t stop here or go ashore, but the weather was calm enough to take the helicopter up and get a scenic view of this part of the island. With the arid Mediterranean climate, the cliffs and the rocky coastline, it reminded me of parts of the California coast ...
Far de Favaritx, Balearic Islands, Spain mylifesjourneyWe arrived last night in Mahon, the capital of Menorca, Spain. It's an interesting towns since it has a large natural harbor, which was of interest to the British, the master sailors that they are. For this reason the British occupied the town three times during the 18th century. It’s a charming town with a flare very different from those of the other Balearic towns, with its British influenced architecture and its beautiful harbor. The one claim to fame that my ...
Maó, Balearic Islands, Spain mylifesjourney... only outside allowed<br>So everything biased towards them <br><br>Shopping lots of tat though lots of cheap restaurants selling food aimed at Germans (sausages, Wurst, et al) some good speciality restaurants, Chinese, Vietnamese, and a few English Pub bars serving English food.<br><br>The shops though were surprising that once they knew you were English they discounted lots of stuff from trinkets to scuba and fishing gear

Cala Millor, Spain maudrenee... of a forum or a large building. Throughout the excavation, we have been taught methods and the history that goes with the site. Fairly interesting for a Roman history buff like myself. However, the next three days are a change of pace. Tomorrow is our tour of the island´s historical sites. Then we follow that with two rest days. I´m hoping to rent a scooter and climb the ¨mountain¨ at the center of the island.
Ciudadela, Balearic Islands, Spain and Canary Islands celliott76... We explored the town the next morning and had a good coffee at a little cafe overlooking the harbour. Back to the boat and cast off for a short sail around the Island to another little bay where we would stay for another night before jumping across to Mallorca (our favourite Island). The bay was deserted and we tucked into a cove and again watched thunderstorms all around us.
Fornells, Balearic Islands, Spain and Canary Islands bellavitaThe last week has been mainly one of traveling. After stops in Paris and Barcelona, I arrived in Menorca yesterday. Menorca is an island out in the Mediterranean. Compared to it´s neighbors Maiorca and Ibiza, Menorca is relatively undeveloped. This has allowed the island to retain a lot of natural beauty. That said, there are still plenty of tourists and, apparently, it has become ...
Ciudadela, Balearic Islands, Spain and Canary Islands celliott76The beautiful holiday I ever had, despite the rainy weather and some jellyfishes when the weather was sunny. In Cala Ratjada there are a lot of beautiful beaches and a pretty "promenade" where you can find a lot of nice tapas bars if you want to eat something. Here you are some of my pictures... have fun.
