Social Friends in Minorca

A number of our group were lucky enough to go to Cala'n Forcat in Minorca last week. Unfortunately a lot of members had to miss out on the trip due to a lack of rooms. Minorca is a beautiful island and we were ideally located close to the old city of Ciutadella.

Our hotel was the Almirante Farragut and extremely modern and nice and clean

One of our first trips out was to take a bus to the marina of Cala'n Bosch.  We had been planning to take a glass bottom boat trip but missed the boat by 30 minutes. Instead we had to shelter from the rain in a nearby cafe, before checking out the marina and surrounding area by road train, once the sun had returned. The ladies also checked out the shoe shops whilst the men hung around waiting for us.

​We also participated in a couple of tours. The first to Ciutadella where we saw the Cathedral and a rather nice town hall, as well as being told some interesting history of the island and town.

​We then had some free time to hit the shops (well the females did) before grabbing a coffee down in the beautiful harbour.

We also visited the highest mountain (a hill really) on the Island called Monte Toro. We had some great views of the island before going on to a quaint fishing village call Fornells on the North side of the island. 

Some of us rented bikes from the sports centre near our hotel and rode to Cala'n Blanes beach for a coffee before going on to Ciutadella. We had great fun and discovered areas of Minorca we would otherwise have missed.

Most of the group also went Trotter racing on our last evening in Cala'n Forcat. This was good fun too and a few of us won on some of the races taking place.
