A Menorca Summer

Menorca in July before the peak week — a finca in the interior, a boat to the coves the charter maps do not name, the Camí de Cavalls coastal path walked in sections, and the Fornells lobster caldereta at the table that looks out to the channel where the fishing boats have worked since the Bronze Age.
