Discovering Menorca 16 – 23 April 2010
History
The island’s varied history shows well in architecture and archeology. Strange stone monoliths, known locally as Torres, date from around 1000 BC. Of later origin are traditional stone huts called Talaiots.
Access to these monuments is easy and they are often good places to see wildlife.
The small cities of Ciutadella and Mahón are both fascinating. A mix of architectural design reflects the result of dominance by Romans, Moslems and British.
