Fornells
Fornells
A white fishing village on a long, sheltered bay in northern Menorca, famous for its lobster stew and its calm waters for sailing.
Fornells is a small white fishing village on the north coast of Menorca, set at the mouth of a long, sheltered bay. The calm water and the line of low white houses give it a peaceful, traditional feel. It is famous across the island for one dish in particular, lobster stew, and for the sailing and water sports on its bay.
What [Destination] is known for
Fornells is best known for its food, and above all for caldereta de langosta, a rich lobster stew that was once fishermen's food and is now the island's signature dish. People drive from all over Menorca to eat it at the village's harbour restaurants. The other half of Fornells is its bay, almost three kilometres long and well sheltered from the north wind, which makes it one of the best places on the island to sail, windsurf or kayak. Above the village stands the Torre de Fornells, a tall British-built defence tower with wide views over the coast.
