Faravitx lighthouse and talaiotic stone
May 1 in Spain
We had a bit of extra time to kill before our flight back so we did a bit more driving and headed over to the Favaritx lighthouse. The drive along the final headland was really dramatic as the scenery suddenly switched from lush green fields with wildflowers to barren slate outcrops and crashing waves. The lighthouse itself has an interesting spiral black stripe on white. It was a bit exposed and rainy so we headed back in the car to the Albufera Es Grau National Park for a brisk boardwalk to the lake before going to see one of the most extensive Talaoitic remains on the island. The standing stone is a symbol on the island and the civilisation dates from 1,000BC. We had time for a quick tea before dropping the car back ready for the flight home.Read more

Mahon, Menorca
July 4, 2016 in Spain
Another beautiful port city in Spain, this one on the island of Menorca. We took a walk around the port and up the winding hill into the lovely town center (see other Mahon footprint). Could live here, more so than any other place visited yet. Weather not so hot as some other parts, relaxed, awesome!Read more

Lovely pedestrian area here, lots of steps and stairs but the views make up for it. Did not want to leave but the ship is calling so we can head out before days end. Sigh...

Ausflug nach Mahon mit Hafenrundfahrt
September 29, 2015 in Spain
Mit dem Linienbus ging es ganz bequem von Santo Tomas in die Inselhauptstadt Mahon (Mao) an der Ostseite der Insel.

Die Endstation des Busses war gleich in der Nähe vom Wochenmarkt, bei dem wir auch durchgeschlendert sind. Ich war positiv überrascht, es gab nicht nur die traditionellen Waren auf dem Markt, sondern auch ganz moderne Sachen, wie z.B. moderne Armbanduhren für junge Mädchen.Read more

Ausflugstipp: Hafenrundfahrt besonders empfehlenswert für Geschichtsinteressierte, da man bei der Führung durch den Hafen einiges über die Geschichte Menorcas hört
