In the Balearic Islands There are spectacular places that have nothing to envy to so many tourist destinations around the world and with the reputation of being paradises. In Menorca there are many of those places, like the Cape of Favaritx, a place that seems to be frozen in time as it preserves black and gray slate cliffs that give it the appearance of a lunar landscape. A real treat for the eyes and because of its rare landscape it seems that we are on another island, but no, it is Minorca.
Favaritx and its lighthouse, which are located in the Natural Park of s’Albufera des Grau, one of the oldest geological sites in the Archipelago and a totally spectacular site, especially if you go at night. According to legend, if there is a full moon this place is very suitable for energy and fertility ... so if you go as a couple who knows, maybe you will go two and come back three. In this area there are also a lot of native flora and fauna that is a true wonder.
If you take the Mahón and Fornells road you will reach the small lake called Cós des Sindic, a natural raft that has been spreading with the storms and that today is an ideal refuge for several colonies of birds that live there. For get to Favaritx, when you leave Mahon along this road you will find a detour to the right 8 kilometers away, it is very well signposted so there is no problem. Once you take this detour, about 6 kilometers you will reach the Lighthouse. You can drive to the end.
In addition to visiting the surroundings of the Favaritx lighthouse, which are impressive, you can take the Son Camamil road to reach two coves that are of great beauty, the Cala’n Presili and Cala Tortuga, two long coves open to the sea.
