A new day begins, bringing with it new adventures to discover!
This morning, we hit the road by car to explore the impressive Monte Toro, also known as El Toro.

🏞️ Monte Toro, the highest point on the island of Menorca, rises to 358 meters above sea level. Located in the heart of the island, near the charming village of Es Mercadal, it offers a breathtaking panoramic view: on clear days ☀️, you can admire both coasts of the island and even catch a glimpse of Mallorca in the distance.

🚗 Access to the summit is possible by car, by bike 🚴, or on foot 🥾 for the more adventurous. A winding road, lined with Mediterranean landscapes, leads to this iconic spot.

Monte Toro is much more than just a viewpoint. It blends spirituality, with the Sanctuary of the Virgin of Monte Toro, history, through its defensive tower dating back to 1558, and stunning natural beauty 🌿.

🎯 It’s a must-see for anyone wishing to experience the essence of Menorca, combining serenity, heritage, and magnificent scenery. 🌅

Une nouvelle journée débute, et avec elle, de nouvelles découvertes nous attendent !
Ce matin, nous prenons la route en voiture pour explorer l’imposant Monte Toro, également appelé El Toro.

🏞️ Le Monte Toro, point culminant de l’île de Minorque, se dresse à 358 mètres d’altitude. Situé au cœur de l’île, près du charmant village d’Es Mercadal, il offre une vue panoramique spectaculaire : par temps clair ☀️, on peut admirer les deux côtes de l’île et même, au loin, apercevoir l’île de Majorque.

🚗 L’accès au sommet est possible en voiture, à vélo 🚴 ou à pied 🥾 pour les plus téméraires. Une route sinueuse, bordée de paysages méditerranéens, mène jusqu’à ce lieu emblématique.

Le Monte Toro, c’est bien plus qu’un simple panorama. Ce site mêle spiritualité, avec le sanctuaire de la Vierge de Monte Toro, histoire, grâce à sa tour défensive datant de 1558, et une nature à couper le souffle 🌿.

🎯 C’est une étape incontournable pour qui souhaite saisir l’essence de Minorque, alliant sérénité, patrimoine et paysages grandioses. 🌅
