Torrent de Pareis

Torrent de Pareis is one of the most spectacular and unique beaches in the Balearic Islands. Due to thousands of years of erosion from the waters of Torrent de Pareis, that cut through the mountains of Sierra de Tramontana to finally reach the sea on the coast of Mallorca, the spectacular crystal clear and deep blue colour of the sea sits at the bottom of the 200m cliffs with the 25 metre long beach of cala de Sa Calobra in a narrow canyon below. This area is protected as a National Monument of Torrent de Pareis within the UNESCO World Heritage Center of the Serra de Tramuntana.

Port de Ciutadella

The port of Ciutadella is located in the western part of the island of Menorca and has 1,170 meters in length and a width of 110 to 15 meters. Its connects the ports of Mallorca and Barcelona by shipping companies that have regular routes, such as Balearia and Iscomar.

This port is known for its 'Rissagas', a meteorological phenomenon that occurs occasionally in the Balearic Islands, which are known as Mareas del Pino, because they tend to occur at the time when the holiday is celebrated, and are characterized by a rise or lowering of the sea level in Ciutadella, that can leave the port without water or conversely, flooding the surroundings.

Thanks a lot for this beautiful card Pedro!
