Torre de Fornells

This stands on a rugged limestone headland on the north coat of Menorca. It was built by the British in 1802, to protect the strategic Port of Fornells from continuous attack by the French and Spanish in their attempts to dominate Menorca. This is just one of a number of impressive defensive towers found around the coastline.

I am beginning to think that the blisters which forced me to hire a bicycle and abandon the GR223 have, in fact, done me a good turn. I am seeing so much more on two wheels than two legs.
