Menorca or Minorca (/mɪˈnɔːrkə/; Catalan: Menorca [məˈnɔrkə]; Spanish: Menorca [meˈnoɾka]; from Latin: Insula Minor, later Minorica "smaller island") is one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea belonging to Spain. Its name derives from its size, contrasting it with nearby Majorca.
One of the representative characteristics of Menorca are the magnificent lighthouses on the top of amazing cliffs. There are 7 well known lighthouses spread along the coast of the island.
As faithful companions and guardians of the sea, they produce a spell on everyone who contemplates them. They have been a source of inspiration for artists, musicians and poets. And they have shone for many years so that every crossing would have a happy ending.
A visit to one or more of these 7 lighthouses is highly recommended, for the landscape around all of them is as unique as the towers themselves.
