Menorca lighthouses

Menorca or Minorca is one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to Spain. Its name derives from its size, contrasting it with nearby Majorca.

One of the representative characteristics of Menorca island are the magnificent lighthouses on the top of amazing cliffs. There are many well known lighthouses spread along the coast of the island.

One of them is Favàritx lighthouse

The lighthouse was built in 1922 and is an imposing and impressive structure standing at 47 metres with a light range of 16 nautical miles. The surrounding area of the lighthouse is stunning, with a mix of rugged volcanic rock and slate and not much else.

Ciutadella de Minorca or simply Ciutadella is a town and a municipality in the western end of Minorca..It is one of the two primary cities in the island, along with Maó. Ciutadella is a very attractive city, with a charming port, and old quarter, which is a delight to explore.

The port is both a fishing and leisure.
