Ciutadella Suits

Even though Menorca is only a small island, it was still a reasonable drive from Cala Morell back to our apartment. We had a look at our map to see where we would be passing close to on our way home, and decided to stop off at Menorca's second city, and former capital, Ciutadella.

We were glad we did as, even though we are much more country than town bears, we found Ciutadella a charming city, with lots to please.


In our first picture you see us relaxing in the late afternoon sun in the main square. There was a definite mediterranean feel and the town is steeped in history.

Away from the main square was a maze of narrow streets, which made exploring great fun. There was no traffic and lots of cafe culture, so you probably won't be surprised to hear we stopped off for a beer and tapas. Thanks to our Spanish lessons we were able to avoid the dish containing fried lung and other offally bits!

We returned back to the other end of the main square, which looked like this ...


Our walk back to the bearmobile took us via the harbour, which was a very narrow inlet that hardly looked big enough for the huge ferry that had just docked.

We didn't get to visit the main city, Mahon, so we've nothing to compare Ciutadella with, but we can't imagine it would be much better. Ciutadella is definitely worth a visit so put it on your itinery, if you are lucky enough to visit Menorca.

Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx
