#46: Treasures of Menorca
This week, we go treasure hunt! We start by exploring Ciutadella, the historic capital of Mahón, where I get some well appreciated girls time with Emily, our friend on Sea Odyssey.
The guys had been staying in our anchorage at Cala Galdana to work on some small issues, but eventually joined us to go try some specialties of the island at the local restaurant. We indulge in fish and a desert that almost literally “blows our minds”.
When time comes to leave the Southern coast of Menorca, we head towards Mahón, one of the largest natural harbor in the world together with Pearl Harbor.
The only authorized anchorage in the bay is at its very entrance, and is called “Cala Teulera”. There, we find a fascinating fort that built in the 18th century, but completed by the multiple nations that had control over the island over the 19th and 20th century.
Eventually, we decide to get Polar Seal all the way to Mahón, 3,5 nautical miles down the bay. There, we stay at the marina for the first time in a month and a half and get to explore Menorca’s capital.
