Ferreries, the gorge and Cala Galdana
The centre and south of Ferreries bring together three Menorcas in a day: the countryside, with a Protected Designation of Origin cheese dairy on a farm; the gorges, cool valleys running down to the sea between rock walls; and the southern coves, with the great shell of Cala Galdana and the crystal-clear Cala Mitjana. With the history of each place, where to eat and what is worth it nearby.
