  • Exploring the beautiful Spanish island of Menorca (Minorca), one of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea, east of Spain. In this video I visit ancient ruins, find some great beaches, explore the capital city of Mao and tour the La Mola fortress.

    Hi Gabriel, I'm surprised to see many businesses open due to a custom in Latin culture especially in Spain, Spanish take their afternoon nap or in Spanish siesta. That's the reason you find more businesses staying open later.

      It was pretty cheap, I think around 9 euros for the plate. Food and drinks are very reasonable on both Menorca and Mallorca. But accommodation is through the roof. A dorm bed is as high as 50 euros and private rooms are of course even more.

    • @GabrielTravelerVideos

      There are two ferry companies there, Trans Mediterranea and Balearia. They both go between the islands so it's just a matter of which one is better timed for when you're planning to go. I forget how much it was but a little expensive, I think 30-40 euros.

Cos I went round the back and went inside and I was looking around the house and there were cobwebs and pigeon poo and a lot of dust but on the wall there was a calender with photos and the date 2008 and a moped parked inside itbl just looked like it had been left in a hurry. But the door was wide open and the kitchen was intact and there was a dead rat by the fridge

      There are copyright issues with using music in youtube videos. I talked about that in this video: ua-cam.com/video/vVXMfASGaUs/v-deo.html You can't use any music you might find on the internet, you have to find music that doesn't have copyright restrictions. So finding music to use that is from a specific region is often impossible. You have to choose from a fairly narrow selection of more general music you can find, such as Spanish-language music, etc.

      If you watch more of my videos, you will see that I use lots of music that isn't from that particular country. There are copyright issues when it comes to music, so you can't just use any music you want. You have to use music from certain sources that offer copyright free music. And that limits your selection a lot. Also it's a matter of the mood you're trying to set. I have some Spanish music, but it was too slow and didn't work as well for those scenes, so I went with something else.
