Menorca: The island of the 7 lighthouses. Which are?
Favàritx lighthouse
Located just over 17 km from Mahón, in the S’Abulfera des Grau natural park, the Faváritx Lighthouse is one of the most visited in Menorca. It was the last lighthouse built, inaugurated in 1922. Its tower is 28 meters high and inside you can find an exhibition of maritime signals open to schools and associations. It is an ideal corner to see the sunrise and the moon.
Cavalleria Lighthouse
At the northernmost end of Menorca, located at the tip of the head of Cavalleria is this lighthouse where you can contemplate the summer sunsets. You can visit it during the tourist season and also go to the Cap de Cavalleria Interpretation Center.
Sa Farola lighthouse
At the northern tip of the mouth of the old port of Menorca, we find the Sa Farola lighthouse, another of the 7 lighthouses that the island has. Also known as Ciutadella, the name of the town that can be reached by walking to this monument, and whose route is part of the Punta Nati - Ciudadela stage of the Caballos way.
Punta Nati Lighthouse
Located on top of the cliffs at the northwest end of the driest area of the island, and 6 km from Ciutadella, we have the Punta Nati lighthouse. This place is a great tourist attraction for sunset lovers with views of the neighboring island, Mallorca.
Lighthouse of the Isla del Aire
The highest in Menorca, with a 38-meter-high tower, it is the first of the 7 lighthouses on the island with the most biodiversity of high ecological value. This lighthouse is located at the highest point of the Isla del Aire (San Luis), a small islet located in the extreme southeast of Menorca.
Artrutx Lighthouse
Of the 7 lighthouses that Menorca has, Artrutx is the only one that does not live alone, since it is located in a neighborhood and also has a restaurant. It is located at the head of Artrutx, in the extreme southwest of the island, 7 km from Ciutadella. It is a perfect corner to spend a different day and appreciate the sunsets while you contemplate Mallorca.
Lighthouse of San Carlos
The last of the 7 lighthouses in Menorca, but not least, is the San Carlos lighthouse, also known as the Mahón lighthouse. It was demolished to facilitate the military practices that were taking place around it. Its base is located at the mouth of the Maó port, but its access is restricted because it is within a military zone.
