Travel Guide Monte Toro

From the top of its 357 m, Monte Toro is the highest point of the island. From here, there is a superb view of the rocky, bare Bay of Fornells to the north and the town of Maó and the plateau to the southeast. Mystical souls will be able to meditate in a sanctuary built on the ruins of a primitive convent, in front of the remarkable black Virgin, patron saint of Menorca. Skeptics will respect the silence that reigns in this place. The scruffy ones in beachwear will be mercilessly turned away! They can go to the terrace bar on the right of the sanctuary and enjoy the view. In summer, the place is frequented by tourist buses.
