The Cavallería Lighthouse is a must-see for any visitor to Menorca. It's more than just an iconic lighthouse; it provides some of the best views you'll ever see! (It's over a 100 meters cliff)

Was built in 1859 and was one of the most important lighthouses in the Balearic Islands. All the north coast is very rocky and dangerous for sailing, and this lighthouse helped a lot in NO-GPS times during the nights journeys.
