Fornells Menorca

The lovely little village of Fornells is located in a bay in the north of the island of Menorca. The village dates back to the 16th Century and at one time had a castle; the only remnant is the watch tower on the headland outside Fornells.

Fishing is still a way of life in the village and you will see traditional Menorcan fishing boats moored up in the harbour. The village is still very traditional in character with its white painted buildings, and luckily has escaped the construction of large apartment blocks and hotels.
