Exploring the island

Andrew went exploring in the afternoon.  This island is not as conducive to walks for him as many other places have been.  The public transport does not take him as easily within vicinity of walking areas.  Around the hotel is rocky and fairly barren.  But he manages to ferret out places.


Above is the view of our resort seen from Alcafar, the next village to the hotel, about 20 minutes walk.  Alcafar has very pretty beach and harbour.




A tower dating back to the late seventeen hundreds. These are dotted around the island.  They lit fires in them as a warning when the enemy was sighted.  Menorca was a strategically important Mediterranean port.  One of the Balearic islands, it was temporarily a British possession but reclaimed by Spain in 1782.
