Minorca
Minorca, a small island with great character. Biosphere
Reserve. Where the traditional Minorcan way of life has not
been swept away by mass tourism. Small harbours, sheltered
coves, quiet beaches. Minorca, an island with a mysterious
prehistoric past whose legacy can be seen over the whole island.
Caves, talaiots, taules ... Minorca, the eternal face of the
Mediterranean. Within reach. All Minorca's charms are never
more than 40 Km away. |

I've already spoken about Fornells and
its surroundings. However, Minorca is such a small island that you
can reach anywhere on the island in less than hour. From East to West,
Minorca measures less than 50Km and at its widest the island only
reaches 20Km. To the East lies Mahon, and to the West, Ciutadella.
It seem to us that a whole world separates these two very different
cities, but for mainlanders it's a short drive of never more than
45Km. On Minorca, any point on the island is the "surroundings"
of everywhere else, as the island only measures 700Km2. So we can
take a brief look at the whole of Minorca. The whole island being,
as it were, the "surroundings" of Fornells.
