Hello, we're Yeray and Sergi

and we will talk about Minorca

the good things and the bad thing about it.

Because Menorca can be a wonderful

island, as you know

but it also, has some bad things

let's start with the bad ones.

If we want to live the island

we have to travel by boat or plane

And in the mainland you have cheaper options

to travel around, for example:

the car, the train...

Also you can go whenever you want

Beacuse we have a fixed time table

Oh, Imagine if the airport is broken

it will be a disaster.

After that, there are a few shops

in Minorca and a lot of people

have to buy through Internet.

We don't have a lot of places

to go shopping,

we have Mango for example and stradivarius

but not a mall where everything is near.

We have a lot of pollution in summer

because a lot of people throw thing

on the sand, or in the water

and all these thing end up

in the same place and it can be removed

correctly .

Another example is

that during the "fiestas",

a lot of people throw their bottles

with gin and lemonade on the floor,

beers, plastic bags...

Minorca is a place to relax

but in summer there are thousands of

poeple that goes to relax like on the

beach, it can be stressful

because there are a lot of people

in the same place.

We know that we need this

because we depend on tourism

but in some situations it's stressful.

And finally the last drawback

is the Tramuntana

which is a wind that comes from the north

and drags many things to other places.

It's irregular

which means that we don't know when

it will arrive,

but we have it all the year.

Well,

now let's start with the positive things.

Minorca is a small place and there aren't

a lot of largest distances

For example the larges distance that we

have in Minorca is from Maó to Ciutadella

And also, is a place wher you can

relax and finally is a peaceful place.

Also in Minorca we have the

"cami de cavalls"

where you walk around Minorca visitng

secret places, we have 20 stages

and they're connected.

The Talaiotic culture is very important for

Minorcan people.

The prehistoric monuments we can find

are (navetes, talaiots) and this are one of

the most popular tourist attractions

For example: "Es poblat de Talati"

"Sa naveta d'es Tudons", "Torralba" etc

In MInorca, there are a lot of sports that

you can practice for example

football rollerblading, tennis

basketball..., but the problem is that we

can't practice winter sports.

For example, we play football in

Sporting Mahones, but sometimes we play

basketball, voley and different sports

when we can, also we like

going horse ridding with friends...

In the video we have prepared you'll see

our friends doing different sports in Minorca.

Minorca is a wonderful place where you

can find a lot of beaches. In Minorca

there are 197 beaches, 132 of sand

and 67 of rocks.

The beaches are completly clean and

beautiful but sometimes they're a little

bit dirty.

Finally it's the perfect place to relax

and release your bad feelings.

The "fiestas ara a traditional celebration

that only take place in Minorca.

They start with the "toc de fabiol".

During the fiestas people of different

ages do different thing for example drink

pomada which is made with lemon and gin

and it's so good. And pople also go to

the jaleo. The jaleo is the part of

the fiestas where the horses jump with the

the help of people that are around them

but if it's your first time there be

carful because if you're the typical

"giri" that wants to record everything

the horses can kick you. And finally when

the jaleo finishes, the samba starts. The

samba is the final part of the fiestas

where all the people go to the square

where the jaleo took place and start to

dance while the band plays

Oh, I love fiestas so much, Sant Jaume and

Sant Climent are my favourtie ones,

I also love the samba and being with

all my friends.

Well, in conclusion we can say that Minorca

is a place where you can do a lot of things

for example walk around the villages,

learn about their culture, practice some

aquatic sports... It's a place where you'll

be safe because it's a peacful island

but also has some problems for example

you don't have any malls on the island

where you can go shopping, some beaches

and villages are a bit dirty, especially

after the fiestas, and as we said before

you have to take the boat or the plane

to go out.
