playing ghost is said to haunt historic

Menorca has the largest concentration of prehistoric sites (over
1000) in the world. Many from the Talaiotic period
(2000 – 123 bc)
• On a walk
around the pretty inlet of Cala San Estaban, don’t be
surprised if you are accompanied by

They rule the roost
there.
