Transparent Beach Spain
Menorca (population 92,000) is the least overrun and most tranquil of the Balearic Islands. In 1993 Unesco declared it a Biosphere Reserve, aiming to preserve environmental areas, such as the Parc Natural S'Albufera d’es Grau wetlands, and the island’s unique archaeological sites. Its 216 km coastline is fretted with relatively untouched beaches, coves and ravines. Inland, criss-crossing its fields and green, rolling hills are an estimated 70,000 km of dry stone walls.
In this lovely photo (with the saturation seemingly set to maximum), we see boats that appear to hover over the incredibly clear, turquoise water. While other photos of the area do not portray the water quite so blue and clear, nobody denies the natural beauty of Menorca.
