Menorca

Written by Haydn Williams

I got back from Menorca late last week, after spending a few days out there in the sun. For a tiny island there’s some pretty cool stuff (and bizarre too – the island’s only 30 miles by 12 miles wide at it’s biggest points, but has nearly 10,000 miles of dry stone wall. Go figure.). Photographically it was an excellent trip, with some really nice sunrises and sunsets, like the one below from the tower at Fornells.

In addition, we added another UNESCO site to the list of places we’ve visited. Not a World Heritage site this time, but a Biosphere Reserve – live the dream! To be fair, it was all pretty cool, especially the caves at Cales Coves which required a bit of cliff-face scrambling to get to, but then had coat hooks, and cooking range, cupboards etc inside. I’d say the island is definitely worth a visit; we felt we’d pretty much covered all the really important bits in five days, so I guess a week would be enough to get around the whole lot.
