From a distance, it could be mistaken for a typical wayside cross, like the small sacred monuments found in many places. The name "General Chanzy" could indicate a military background, i.e., a memorial for soldiers. But upon closer inspection, the true meaning of this memorial, which draws the viewer's gaze to the Mediterranean, becomes clear: to commemorate the many victims claimed by a shipping disaster at the beginning of the 20th century. 'Ein Fisch namens Wander' and 'Torsten E' have already documented details of this in their articles.

Carla Pregonda is a beautiful bay, with a few rocks along the edge where you can sit, but also with sand and rocks in the water, a rock that's a bit far away for swimming, with a small sandy beach.

Located 10 kilometres north of Es Mercadal, between Platja de Binimel·là and Cap de s’Alairó, Cala Pregonda is one of the most recommended coves by the inhabitants of Menorca, one of the most charming and least frequented in the steep northern area. It is made unique by its red rocks, an unspoiled surrounding landscape and crystalline water. In front of the shore you can see the islet and rocks of Pregonda (Illot and Esculls de Pregonda), habitat of the rare Audouin's gull. This almost virgin beach, quiet and with little influx of local bathers and tourists, is the result of a cove that, reaching the mainland, originates a U-shaped slope, which includes an interesting dune system in the rear area. These dunes were formed parallel to the orientation of the dominant wind in this area. A hill to the east and several cliffs to the west, belonging to a Natural Area of Special Interest, form the ends of the beach. Access by land is permitted by following the path delimited by Platja de Binimel·là (20 min).

Cala Mesquida is part of the municipality of Capdepera and is located in the middle of a nature reserve. The dunes surrounding Cala Mesquida extend to Cala Agulla, providing a habitat for the largest population of cormorants and seagulls in the Balearic Islands. In 1991 the area around Cala Mesquida and Cala Agulla was declared a Nature Reserve. Until the conquest of Jaime I of Aragon, the area was largely uninhabited, only the Miguel Nunis tower served as a viewpoint from which maritime traffic could be observed.

The monument commemorates a shipwreck on this coast. On February 10, 1910, the ship “General Chanzy” ran aground on the north coast of Menorca at around 5 a.m. Of the 157 people on board, only one passenger survived. The causes of the shipwreck have not been clarified with absolute certainty. Bad weather conditions must have been one of the main factors. The captain, Bruno Cayol, was an experienced sailor and knew the waters. Source: https://es.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Chanzy

As a good beach in the south of Menorca, Cala Mitjana is protected by high limestone cliffs, which give the environment a character of seclusion and protection that the northern beaches do not.

Magnificent beach in the south of Menorca, located near Cala Galdana, with fine white sand and a forest populated by pine trees. The cove also has many caves that are only accessible from the water.
