How are you? We will talk to you about tourists in Menorca. Menorca is one of the Balearic Islands, and our economy is based mainly on tourists. Marc, can you tell us which people come to Menorca? In the summer, many people come, mostly English and French, to see our beaches. Our beaches in the south of the island, we can find a white sand. There are not many rocks, and the water is very transparent. On the other hand, in the north, they have the reddest sand. There is much more rock everywhere, and they also have places of transparent water and places of water with algae and rocks. The most beautiful beaches from the south are Cala Millana, Cala Macarella, and Cala Anturqueta. And in the north are Fornells, Cala Pilar, Cala Pregonda. Hanna, what are the most things that you like about Menorca? The summer patronal festivities consist of the length of the summer. Each town has two or three days that are the festivities of its patron. To celebrate it every year, these parties consist of some people who like to ride horses, and they go to the town square with a band, and people make the horses jump. And at the night, we go to the bars to sing and dance, to have a great time. If you want, you can search on YouTube for a video of the parties. To search for it, you can search a video of the festivities of San Juan. Prehistoric stills are cool and exciting places to explore, like navetas, which are like upside-down pots and were used for burials. And there are tablas, big stone structures with a vertical stone and a flat on the top. One famous site is the Naveta de Estudantes. This place shows how people lived a long time ago on the island. They also like to come here for a Mediterranean climate. In summer it is around 34-38 degrees, and in winter 5-10 degrees. Many tourists also come to do the horse trail. I guess you don't know what is it. The horse road is a road that goes around the island. It's 185 km and they do it in different days. Some of you like to come and visit the lighthouses that are around the island, so that when the bulls come to the island, at night they don't hit the rocks. Well, Hanna, what can the tourists do in winter? Where can they go? Because if they can go swim, what other things do they do? The gastronomy of Menorca is delicious and unique. Some typical dishes include lobster stew, Menorcan sobrasada, Mahon cheese and more. Also in winter the tourists who come to see the town, especially Citadella and Mahon, have the old town, which is very beautiful and a part of Beniveca. A small luxurious town full of identical characters throughout the town. It is the most beautiful town that there is in Menorca. You also can visit the Lufera del Grau, which is a natural park. You can do beer watching, hiking and natural enthusiasts with its diverse landscape of forest and beaches. Thanks for listening to us. See you next time. Bye, children! Translated by Elham Arabi
