Europe part three ⚓️
Menorca, Spain
After a truly unforgettable time in France, we boarded a plane headed to one of the Balearic Islands of Spain. Our nights on the Island, known as Menorca or Minorca, would be spent on a sailboat we had booked through Air bnb.
On the first day, we walked up and down the streets exploring the beauties of island living, with the sunshine pouring in between the Mediterranean architectural buildings. We walked through the most charming markets and pop-up shops on the town square, filled with handmade linens, shoes, art, jewelry and so much more. We learned of the island's rich history and met a number of fascinating people educating us about the amazing place we were in.
On another day, we drove a peaceful hour to a hidden beach. With no road access to this beach, we walked on a long trail until reaching an opening to the enchanting Cala Mitjana beach. We spent the day swimming, cliff jumping, snorkeling, and soaking up the sun with a few picnics in between. Most beaches and coves on the island are only accessible through trails - cardio with a view! Other stunning beaches we visited were Cala Macarella and Cala Turqueta.
The next day we headed out onto the Mediterranean sea in our sailboat with two helmsmen. As we exited the calm bay and hit the open choppy waters, the ocean changed to a mesmerizing deep shade of blue. We reached another hidden beach, with shallower water, where a number of other boats and yachts were anchored down, with people enjoying the crystal clear, cool waters. We snorkeled and swam for hours until the sun was setting, then sailed back along the rocky coast to the large bay our dock was in. We dined at little, quaint restaurants most nights, where we experienced the kindest of hospitality. My favorite spot to visit was this music club that was carved into the side of a cliff- Cova d’en Xoroi- with live bands and the most stunning views.
When our time in Menorca sadly came to an end, we packed up and flew for about an hour on a small plane to the city of Barcelona to spend our last three days in Rome.
