Instagram-worthy? The Cavallería Lighthouse it's wonderful! It was built in 1859 and still operates today. This would make for the perfect addition to any list of places you should visit if travelling through Menorca on your way somewhere else or just looking something up because we know how much these posts tell us about what life used be like back then - before phones were invented...
Thanks to its height and the north strategical location, it was one of the most important lighthouses's in the Mediterranean Sea.
