0:00:00.000,0:00:03.037
Hello, we're Yeray and Sergi

0:00:03.048,0:00:05.368
and we will talk about Minorca

0:00:05.368,0:00:08.068
the good things and the bad thing about it.

0:00:08.068,0:00:10.458
Because Menorca can be a wonderful

0:00:10.514,0:00:11.834
island, as you know

0:00:12.076,0:00:16.076
but it also, has some bad things

0:00:16.142,0:00:18.322
let's start with the bad ones.

0:00:26.658,0:00:28.458
If we want to live the island

0:00:28.654,0:00:31.374
we have to travel by boat or plane

0:00:31.646,0:00:34.386
And in the mainland you have cheaper options

0:00:34.386,0:00:35.886
to travel around, for example:

0:00:35.886,0:00:37.496
the car, the train...

0:00:37.556,0:00:39.696
Also you can go whenever you want

0:00:39.696,0:00:43.696
Beacuse we have a fixed time table

0:00:47.914,0:00:50.144
Oh, Imagine if the airport is broken

0:00:50.144,0:00:53.074
it will be a disaster.

0:01:05.084,0:01:06.984
After that, there are a few shops

0:01:06.995,0:01:08.715
in Minorca and a lot of people

0:01:08.715,0:01:10.525
have to buy through Internet.

0:01:10.541,0:01:12.211
We don't have a lot of places

0:01:12.220,0:01:13.070
to go shopping,

0:01:13.070,0:01:15.600
we have Mango for example and stradivarius

0:01:15.600,0:01:19.600
but not a mall where everything is near.

0:01:22.702,0:01:24.832
We have a lot of pollution in summer

0:01:24.832,0:01:26.862
because a lot of people throw thing

0:01:26.862,0:01:29.102
on the sand, or in the water

0:01:29.102,0:01:30.632
and all these thing end up

0:01:30.632,0:01:32.972
in the same place and it can be removed

0:01:32.972,0:01:34.172
correctly .

0:01:34.782,0:01:35.982
Another example is

0:01:35.982,0:01:37.462
that during the "fiestas",

0:01:37.462,0:01:39.432
a lot of people throw their bottles

0:01:39.432,0:01:41.492
with gin and lemonade on the floor,

0:01:41.492,0:01:43.382
beers, plastic bags...

0:01:47.551,0:01:49.211
Minorca is a place to relax

0:01:49.322,0:01:51.372
but in summer there are thousands of

0:01:51.372,0:01:53.242
poeple that goes to relax like on the

0:01:53.242,0:01:54.762
beach, it can be stressful

0:01:54.762,0:01:56.272
because there are a lot of people

0:01:56.272,0:01:57.632
in the same place.

0:01:57.632,0:01:59.332
We know that we need this

0:01:59.332,0:02:01.172
because we depend on tourism

0:02:01.172,0:02:03.382
but in some situations it's stressful.

0:02:04.713,0:02:06.383
And finally the last drawback

0:02:06.383,0:02:07.513
is the Tramuntana

0:02:07.538,0:02:08.728
which is a wind that comes from the north

0:02:08.728,0:02:11.078
and drags many things to other places.

0:02:12.082,0:02:12.952
It's irregular

0:02:12.952,0:02:15.122
which means that we don't know when

0:02:15.122,0:02:15.962
it will arrive,

0:02:15.962,0:02:17.692
but we have it all the year.

0:02:20.566,0:02:21.116
Well,

0:02:21.116,0:02:23.616
now let's start with the positive things.

0:02:25.541,0:02:27.801
Minorca is a small place and there aren't

0:02:27.801,0:02:29.541
a lot of largest distances

0:02:29.541,0:02:31.791
For example the larges distance that we

0:02:31.791,0:02:35.791
have in Minorca is from Maó to Ciutadella

0:02:36.446,0:02:38.336
And also, is a place wher you can

0:02:38.336,0:02:40.606
relax and finally is a peaceful place.

0:02:41.575,0:02:43.215
Also in Minorca we have the

0:02:43.215,0:02:44.475
"cami de cavalls"

0:02:45.298,0:02:47.508
where you walk around Minorca visitng

0:02:47.508,0:02:51.508
secret places, we have 20 stages

0:02:51.508,0:02:52.998
and they're connected.

0:02:58.683,0:03:01.003
The Talaiotic culture is very important for

0:03:01.003,0:03:02.173
Minorcan people.

0:03:02.173,0:03:04.483
The prehistoric monuments we can find

0:03:04.483,0:03:08.483
are (navetes, talaiots) and this are one of

0:03:08.483,0:03:11.443
the most popular tourist attractions

0:03:11.443,0:03:13.863
For example: "Es poblat de Talati"

0:03:13.863,0:03:17.863
"Sa naveta d'es Tudons", "Torralba" etc

0:03:26.858,0:03:29.048
In MInorca, there are a lot of sports that

0:03:29.048,0:03:30.638
you can practice for example

0:03:30.638,0:03:32.348
football rollerblading, tennis

0:03:32.348,0:03:36.348
basketball..., but the problem is that we

0:03:36.348,0:03:38.228
can't practice winter sports.

0:03:38.228,0:03:41.078
For example, we play football in

0:03:41.078,0:03:43.388
Sporting Mahones, but sometimes we play

0:03:43.388,0:03:45.388
basketball, voley and different sports

0:03:45.388,0:03:48.898
when we can, also we like

0:03:48.898,0:03:52.168
going horse ridding with friends...

0:03:52.168,0:03:55.928
In the video we have prepared you'll see

0:03:55.928,0:03:59.008
our friends doing different sports in Minorca.

0:04:18.384,0:04:20.634
Minorca is a wonderful place where you

0:04:20.634,0:04:23.474
can find a lot of beaches. In Minorca

0:04:23.474,0:04:27.474
there are 197 beaches, 132 of sand

0:04:27.474,0:04:30.054
and 67 of rocks.

0:04:30.054,0:04:32.364
The beaches are completly clean and

0:04:32.364,0:04:34.564
beautiful but sometimes they're a little

0:04:34.564,0:04:35.924
bit dirty.

0:04:36.457,0:04:38.797
Finally it's the perfect place to relax

0:04:38.797,0:04:40.957
and release your bad feelings.

0:04:50.707,0:04:53.137
The "fiestas ara a traditional celebration

0:04:53.137,0:04:55.147
that only take place in Minorca.

0:04:55.147,0:04:57.457
They start with the "toc de fabiol".

0:05:44.815,0:05:46.835
During the fiestas people of different

0:05:46.835,0:05:49.055
ages do different thing for example drink

0:05:49.055,0:05:51.625
pomada which is made with lemon and gin

0:05:51.625,0:05:56.065
and it's so good. And pople also go to

0:05:56.065,0:05:59.275
the jaleo. The jaleo is the part of

0:05:59.275,0:06:01.985
the fiestas where the horses jump with the

0:06:01.985,0:06:04.225
the help of people that are around them

0:06:04.225,0:06:06.575
but if it's your first time there be

0:06:06.575,0:06:08.665
carful because if you're the typical

0:06:08.665,0:06:11.475
"giri" that wants to record everything

0:06:12.073,0:06:15.693
the horses can kick you. And finally when

0:06:15.693,0:06:18.013
the jaleo finishes, the samba starts. The

0:06:18.013,0:06:22.013
samba is the final part of the fiestas

0:06:22.013,0:06:26.013
where all the people go to the square

0:06:26.013,0:06:28.273
where the jaleo took place and start to

0:06:28.273,0:06:30.543
dance while the band plays

0:06:38.130,0:06:40.990
Oh, I love fiestas so much, Sant Jaume and

0:06:40.990,0:06:43.070
Sant Climent are my favourtie ones,

0:06:43.070,0:06:45.170
I also love the samba and being with

0:06:45.170,0:06:46.400
all my friends.

0:06:48.036,0:06:50.316
Well, in conclusion we can say that Minorca

0:06:50.316,0:06:52.666
is a place where you can do a lot of things

0:06:52.666,0:06:55.126
for example walk around the villages,

0:06:55.126,0:06:57.756
learn about their culture, practice some

0:06:57.756,0:07:00.166
aquatic sports... It's a place where you'll

0:07:00.166,0:07:02.226
be safe because it's a peacful island

0:07:02.226,0:07:04.776
but also has some problems for example

0:07:04.776,0:07:07.276
you don't have any malls on the island

0:07:07.276,0:07:09.656
where you can go shopping, some beaches

0:07:09.656,0:07:12.736
and villages are a bit dirty, especially

0:07:12.736,0:07:14.966
after the fiestas, and as we said before

0:07:14.966,0:07:16.416
you have to take the boat or the plane

0:07:16.416,0:07:16.876
to go out.
