North African Hedgehog at So Na Caçana.

The North African hedgehog (Atelerix algirus) or Algerian hedgehog, is a species of mammal  in the family Erinaceidae.
It is found in Most of Northern African countries, South of France and the Balearics.
Very little is actually known about the preferred habitat of the North African hedgehog. It has been found in Mediterranean conifer and mixed forest climates as are present in southern mountainous. It is very common in the island although hundreds of them are killed every year by passing cars.

 Hedgehogs are insectivores but tend to live on an omnivorous diet. They feed on all sorts of little animals, such as earthworms, snails, beetles, caterpillars and carrion. To a lesser extent, they also eat plant matter, including fruits.

San Clemente

San Clemente, or Sant Climent as we call it in menorquin is a traditional village Close to Mahón.

A group of farms and country houses have been located here since the very old times. In fact most of the farms in the area have names of Arab origin so probably they were already here 800 years ago.

The current church, built in 1889, replaced an earlier one, from the 17th century, and occupies a centralizing place in the village center.

End of Season 2019.

It's been a long 184 days season. May 1st. when we opened seems ages ago.

Now it's time for a deserved rest for all the staff. We've been to TAPS CAN AVELINO for a meal and get together, and this is how the harbour was after that. So Quiet.
