El Toro (Mounte Toro) & Fornells

Just above Es Migjorn Gran lies the highest point on the island, El Toro with its beautiful view and the Sanctuary of Our Lady. The story goes that a bull led monks up the hill, where they saw a vision of Our Lady. 

The magnificent view to Fornells in the north
From this angle we have to wonder if we're celebrating Christ or our mobile phone network
Ahhh, that's better!
Helen & Tine appreciating the space outside the sanctuary...
...whilst I'm impressed by the plant arrangement.

 We dropped down to Fornells to explore the port and rugged coastline...


...and  have lunch in the beautifully hot sunshine, Tine having to borrow my Peaky Blinder cap.
We spent ages trying to capture the waves crashing on the cliffs...

Successs!
The British built tower fortress...
...with Helen & Tine too!
