Documentaire
This aerial journey across the picturesque Balearic island of Menorca begins in the north west of the island at Ciutadella before heading for the coast and flying past cliffs, beaches, small resorts and clear blue seas. At the main airport we encounter a group of military helicopters coming in to refuel. And close by is one of the many pre-history sites which cover the island. More modern defences on the small island of La Mola once protected the capital, Mahon, and its deep water harbour. Flying north up the east coast are a number of old tower castles, and fishing villages turned into resorts. We end our journey in the north east corner of the island at the lighthouse on Cap de Cavalleria.
