Mahon is the sea port and has the second largest natural harbour in the Mediterranean 6 km long. Our excursion visited several picturesque villages in the centre of the island, although they were almost deserted as it is the end of the season and many people just lock up and go home.
We drove to the highest point of the island to Monte Toro where a large statue of the Christ redeemable stands? We then drove back to the mouth of the harbour and visited the huge fortress La Mola,the British built to protect Menorca from the French navy back in the 1800's.
The photos below depict a typical front gate on the seaside, a little village, the fort at the entrance to the harbour and a couple of panoramic views of the harbour of Mahon. Beeeautiful.
