미노르카‬에서 가장 멋진 ‪20‬개의 천연기념물

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.

Unique place

A wonderful nature reserve that is worth a visit!

A dream bay that you shouldn't miss!

The rocky landscape, the entire coast is simply fantastically beautiful. It's worth walking a bit on the Cami de Cavalls.

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.
