Sunny evenings


Ahh Spain...I love it so much I'm almost certain that when Mark and I retire we will move out there.  It may never happen but I'm happy to let that dream sit in our heads.

Moments enjoyed this trip:

Swimming in the sea * cooking and enjoying simple Spanish dishes in our apartment * watching the sun set with a cocktail * freezing cold shower after a hot day * fresh mussels and tonnes of fresh bread to mop up the juice * getting out of the resort which seemed to cater only for Brits and see Menorca * white sand, clear water * walks hand in hand in the shallow sea * carrying a light bag as it didn't have an umbrella in it * walking around harbours * sitting on a jetty and dipping legs into the sea * narrow streets through old towns soaking up the shade * cafe con leche and people watching with my husband


So we're back from a wonderful holiday in Menorca.  It was crazy hot we didn't see temperatures less than 30 degrees every day and our apartment was located in a very hilly location.  It was stifling around the pool as we had no sea breeze and the sea was a mammoth 190 steps down a cliff - sounds like someone didn't do her research before booking the holiday!  We spent a few days around the pool and eating out in the resort/making up some Spanish style dishes in the apartment then hired a car for the rest of the holiday where we went to lots of beaches and visited a pretty fishing village "Fornells" and the old capital "Ciutadella".

These photos show the sunny evenings we enjoyed.  On the last night we went to Cova d'en Xoroi which is a highly overpriced bar set into the cliffs very near to our apartment.  For one night though we allowed ourselves a treat and enjoyed a cocktail while watching the sun set behind the cliffs.

  2. Oh Caroline those photographs are so beautiful, I almost feel like I'm there (apart from all the rain when I look out of my window!) - and how stunning are those tiles on that house in the first picture? Amazing. x

  4. Beautiful. Looks like a perfect 'Babymoon' kind of place. Totally unsuitable for kids- step cliff steps, veranda with a low wall overlooking a huge drop to the sea and lots of shellfish! You could not say 'Not for kids' better if you screamed it at the top of your voice. X
