Geography of Menorca



Hello friends,

In this letter we want to tell you the situation of Menorca in the Mediterranean Sea.
Menorca, Mallorca, Eivissa and Formentera are the isles of the Balearic Islands.
Menorca is an island in the North of the Balearic Islands.
Mainly Menorca is flat but there are some hills. The highest mountains are: El Toro (358m) in the municipal area of Es Mercadal, S’Enclusa (274m) and Santa Àgueda (264m) in the municipal area of Ferreries.
In the South of Menorca we can find some gorges. Gorges collect water from the lands in streams; there are some fountains too. The most important gorge is Algendar gorge in Ferreries.
In Menorca there aren’t any rivers; there are streams and lagoons. The biggest lagoon is Es Grau (north-east).
In Menorca the coastline is different depending on the situation: north or south. In the north coastline there are some high cliffs and in the south coastline the cliffs are smooth. In the north there are some capes: Favàritx Cape, Cavalleria Cape… The best natural harbour in the Mediterranean Sea is Port of Maó. Port of Maó is in the east coast of the island.
Menorca is split in two halves (north and south). In the south coast there are soft rocks called “marès” and they are white. In the north coast there are hard rocks and they are dark.

We hope you like this letter.
Bye friends!!!
