Introduction to Menorca

Odd as it may seem our first series of Posts will concern our recent travels to the island of Menorca in the Mediterranean.
Menorca lies off the coast of Spain about 250 kilometers SE from Barcelona.

This beautiful Mediterranean island is noted by European travellers for its beautiful beaches, charming ancient cities and great food, especially fresh seafood.  The following slideshow gives you an idea of some of the delights of the island.  Included are views of the ancient Roman City of Sanisera - the location of the excavation site of the Sanisera Archaeology Institute field school.
