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.
During the day head for many of the unspoilt beaches that are nearby.
Fornells offers plenty of activities such as diving, kayaking and scuba
diving for those who want to be a little more adventurous.
