You definitely should visit, Randy. Lots of history, and a beautiful island, too. I’m glad you have fond memories of Bangor!

Great shots of a beautiful place. My ancestors came from Mahon to Florida in the 1700s. I’ve always wanted to visit. Must do it now. By the way…I lived in Carrickfergus (I was in a Texas rock band) for a while during the 70s and have played many times in Bangor. Beautiful place and wonderful people.

Hi Jan, From what I saw, Galdana is the nicest area to stay in. There's not much to do except relax, eat, and walk (which is great for a time), so hiring a car was definitely a good idea. The hotel name is Audax, and here's the TripAdvisor page.

We have just got back from Cala Blanca, which was lovely, but your pics confirm a rumour we heard that Galdana must be the prettiest place on Menorca! What was the name of the Hotel you stayed at? We were particularly impressed by the view from your balcony!

Kind regards,

Jan

I love architecture too, which is why I can’t wait to visit Italy (Florence, Venice, Rome, the Tuscany region etc.). My folks came back from a recent trip and the photos look amazing.

Yes I saw the panoramic, that’s my kind of view … :) Gorgeous blue sea.

The Caribbean has lots of colourful buildings like this and even the white trim on the buildings looks very Colonial as with the buildings I saw in the Caribbean.

I love architecture, I find it fascinating.

Hi Amanda,

Although I’ve not yet been to the Caribbean, I can imagine this bay being there. Did you see the panoramic shot? Looking at it again makes me want to go back!

I do love holiday pics :)

Looks beautiful, I’m a big fan of Spain, but I’ve never been to Menorca as of yet.

Doesn’t the harbour look very Carribean.

I have not gone yet to Menorca and in the Balearics but your post is quite interesting that I have to make a choice if I can make a visit too.

The Tipping Point gets mentioned quite a lot, Tracey. At least where I’m looking. One for the wanted list, and thanks for your personal recommendation. Hope you like Made to Stick.
