The Panerai Thophy is without a doubt the most important encounter of the classic yachts circuit in Spain and one of the top regattas in the international calendar.

Hotel Guests kayaking in the harbour

Nice morning kayaking in the harbour with some hotel guests. A lot maritime traffic in and out of the bay, mainly yachts...

But some bigger ones also. It's been like dancing with elephants!

Minorque en été. Bons amis, et moment de détente dans le solaire.  

Devrait être un morceau de paradis.

Algaiarens

Had not been to Algaiarens since April. The difference between the picture I took then and this one is clearly evident. The beach now, in August has become very popular, full of families who go there to spend the day by the sea.

Only at the end of the day returns to quiet showing at the beginning and end of the season.

When returning, we saw an egyptian vulture fly high at dusk. Egyptian vultures (Neophron percnopterus)  are sedentary on the island, though not very numerous.
