WEBVTT 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.037 Hello, we're Yeray and Sergi 00:00:03.048 --> 00:00:05.368 and we will talk about Minorca 00:00:05.368 --> 00:00:08.068 the good things and the bad thing about it. 00:00:08.068 --> 00:00:10.458 Because Menorca can be a wonderful 00:00:10.514 --> 00:00:11.834 island, as you know 00:00:12.076 --> 00:00:16.076 but it also, has some bad things 00:00:16.142 --> 00:00:18.322 let's start with the bad ones. 00:00:26.658 --> 00:00:28.458 If we want to live the island 00:00:28.654 --> 00:00:31.374 we have to travel by boat or plane 00:00:31.646 --> 00:00:34.386 And in the mainland you have cheaper options 00:00:34.386 --> 00:00:35.886 to travel around, for example: 00:00:35.886 --> 00:00:37.496 the car, the train... 00:00:37.556 --> 00:00:39.696 Also you can go whenever you want 00:00:39.696 --> 00:00:43.696 Beacuse we have a fixed time table 00:00:47.914 --> 00:00:50.144 Oh, Imagine if the airport is broken 00:00:50.144 --> 00:00:53.074 it will be a disaster. 00:01:05.084 --> 00:01:06.984 After that, there are a few shops 00:01:06.995 --> 00:01:08.715 in Minorca and a lot of people 00:01:08.715 --> 00:01:10.525 have to buy through Internet. 00:01:10.541 --> 00:01:12.211 We don't have a lot of places 00:01:12.220 --> 00:01:13.070 to go shopping, 00:01:13.070 --> 00:01:15.600 we have Mango for example and stradivarius 00:01:15.600 --> 00:01:19.600 but not a mall where everything is near. 00:01:22.702 --> 00:01:24.832 We have a lot of pollution in summer 00:01:24.832 --> 00:01:26.862 because a lot of people throw thing 00:01:26.862 --> 00:01:29.102 on the sand, or in the water 00:01:29.102 --> 00:01:30.632 and all these thing end up 00:01:30.632 --> 00:01:32.972 in the same place and it can be removed 00:01:32.972 --> 00:01:34.172 correctly . 00:01:34.782 --> 00:01:35.982 Another example is 00:01:35.982 --> 00:01:37.462 that during the "fiestas", 00:01:37.462 --> 00:01:39.432 a lot of people throw their bottles 00:01:39.432 --> 00:01:41.492 with gin and lemonade on the floor, 00:01:41.492 --> 00:01:43.382 beers, plastic bags... 00:01:47.551 --> 00:01:49.211 Minorca is a place to relax 00:01:49.322 --> 00:01:51.372 but in summer there are thousands of 00:01:51.372 --> 00:01:53.242 poeple that goes to relax like on the 00:01:53.242 --> 00:01:54.762 beach, it can be stressful 00:01:54.762 --> 00:01:56.272 because there are a lot of people 00:01:56.272 --> 00:01:57.632 in the same place. 00:01:57.632 --> 00:01:59.332 We know that we need this 00:01:59.332 --> 00:02:01.172 because we depend on tourism 00:02:01.172 --> 00:02:03.382 but in some situations it's stressful. 00:02:04.713 --> 00:02:06.383 And finally the last drawback 00:02:06.383 --> 00:02:07.513 is the Tramuntana 00:02:07.538 --> 00:02:08.728 which is a wind that comes from the north 00:02:08.728 --> 00:02:11.078 and drags many things to other places. 00:02:12.082 --> 00:02:12.952 It's irregular 00:02:12.952 --> 00:02:15.122 which means that we don't know when 00:02:15.122 --> 00:02:15.962 it will arrive, 00:02:15.962 --> 00:02:17.692 but we have it all the year. 00:02:20.566 --> 00:02:21.116 Well, 00:02:21.116 --> 00:02:23.616 now let's start with the positive things. 00:02:25.541 --> 00:02:27.801 Minorca is a small place and there aren't 00:02:27.801 --> 00:02:29.541 a lot of largest distances 00:02:29.541 --> 00:02:31.791 For example the larges distance that we 00:02:31.791 --> 00:02:35.791 have in Minorca is from Maó to Ciutadella 00:02:36.446 --> 00:02:38.336 And also, is a place wher you can 00:02:38.336 --> 00:02:40.606 relax and finally is a peaceful place. 00:02:41.575 --> 00:02:43.215 Also in Minorca we have the 00:02:43.215 --> 00:02:44.475 "cami de cavalls" 00:02:45.298 --> 00:02:47.508 where you walk around Minorca visitng 00:02:47.508 --> 00:02:51.508 secret places, we have 20 stages 00:02:51.508 --> 00:02:52.998 and they're connected. 00:02:58.683 --> 00:03:01.003 The Talaiotic culture is very important for 00:03:01.003 --> 00:03:02.173 Minorcan people. 00:03:02.173 --> 00:03:04.483 The prehistoric monuments we can find 00:03:04.483 --> 00:03:08.483 are (navetes, talaiots) and this are one of 00:03:08.483 --> 00:03:11.443 the most popular tourist attractions 00:03:11.443 --> 00:03:13.863 For example: "Es poblat de Talati" 00:03:13.863 --> 00:03:17.863 "Sa naveta d'es Tudons", "Torralba" etc 00:03:26.858 --> 00:03:29.048 In MInorca, there are a lot of sports that 00:03:29.048 --> 00:03:30.638 you can practice for example 00:03:30.638 --> 00:03:32.348 football rollerblading, tennis 00:03:32.348 --> 00:03:36.348 basketball..., but the problem is that we 00:03:36.348 --> 00:03:38.228 can't practice winter sports. 00:03:38.228 --> 00:03:41.078 For example, we play football in 00:03:41.078 --> 00:03:43.388 Sporting Mahones, but sometimes we play 00:03:43.388 --> 00:03:45.388 basketball, voley and different sports 00:03:45.388 --> 00:03:48.898 when we can, also we like 00:03:48.898 --> 00:03:52.168 going horse ridding with friends... 00:03:52.168 --> 00:03:55.928 In the video we have prepared you'll see 00:03:55.928 --> 00:03:59.008 our friends doing different sports in Minorca. 00:04:18.384 --> 00:04:20.634 Minorca is a wonderful place where you 00:04:20.634 --> 00:04:23.474 can find a lot of beaches. In Minorca 00:04:23.474 --> 00:04:27.474 there are 197 beaches, 132 of sand 00:04:27.474 --> 00:04:30.054 and 67 of rocks. 00:04:30.054 --> 00:04:32.364 The beaches are completly clean and 00:04:32.364 --> 00:04:34.564 beautiful but sometimes they're a little 00:04:34.564 --> 00:04:35.924 bit dirty. 00:04:36.457 --> 00:04:38.797 Finally it's the perfect place to relax 00:04:38.797 --> 00:04:40.957 and release your bad feelings. 00:04:50.707 --> 00:04:53.137 The "fiestas ara a traditional celebration 00:04:53.137 --> 00:04:55.147 that only take place in Minorca. 00:04:55.147 --> 00:04:57.457 They start with the "toc de fabiol". 00:05:44.815 --> 00:05:46.835 During the fiestas people of different 00:05:46.835 --> 00:05:49.055 ages do different thing for example drink 00:05:49.055 --> 00:05:51.625 pomada which is made with lemon and gin 00:05:51.625 --> 00:05:56.065 and it's so good. And pople also go to 00:05:56.065 --> 00:05:59.275 the jaleo. The jaleo is the part of 00:05:59.275 --> 00:06:01.985 the fiestas where the horses jump with the 00:06:01.985 --> 00:06:04.225 the help of people that are around them 00:06:04.225 --> 00:06:06.575 but if it's your first time there be 00:06:06.575 --> 00:06:08.665 carful because if you're the typical 00:06:08.665 --> 00:06:11.475 "giri" that wants to record everything 00:06:12.073 --> 00:06:15.693 the horses can kick you. And finally when 00:06:15.693 --> 00:06:18.013 the jaleo finishes, the samba starts. The 00:06:18.013 --> 00:06:22.013 samba is the final part of the fiestas 00:06:22.013 --> 00:06:26.013 where all the people go to the square 00:06:26.013 --> 00:06:28.273 where the jaleo took place and start to 00:06:28.273 --> 00:06:30.543 dance while the band plays 00:06:38.130 --> 00:06:40.990 Oh, I love fiestas so much, Sant Jaume and 00:06:40.990 --> 00:06:43.070 Sant Climent are my favourtie ones, 00:06:43.070 --> 00:06:45.170 I also love the samba and being with 00:06:45.170 --> 00:06:46.400 all my friends. 00:06:48.036 --> 00:06:50.316 Well, in conclusion we can say that Minorca 00:06:50.316 --> 00:06:52.666 is a place where you can do a lot of things 00:06:52.666 --> 00:06:55.126 for example walk around the villages, 00:06:55.126 --> 00:06:57.756 learn about their culture, practice some 00:06:57.756 --> 00:07:00.166 aquatic sports... It's a place where you'll 00:07:00.166 --> 00:07:02.226 be safe because it's a peacful island 00:07:02.226 --> 00:07:04.776 but also has some problems for example 00:07:04.776 --> 00:07:07.276 you don't have any malls on the island 00:07:07.276 --> 00:07:09.656 where you can go shopping, some beaches 00:07:09.656 --> 00:07:12.736 and villages are a bit dirty, especially 00:07:12.736 --> 00:07:14.966 after the fiestas, and as we said before 00:07:14.966 --> 00:07:16.416 you have to take the boat or the plane 00:07:16.416 --> 00:07:16.876 to go out.
