Fornells
Fornells
On a clear bay among the evergreens and olive trees of the island’s north coast, the white village of Fornells is small even by Menorca standards. Some 300 people make it their home throughout the year, most related in some way or another to the fishing industry (there are almost as many boats as there are people). Lobster, or llagosta in Catalan, is synonymous with Fornells. When summertime ratchets up the village’s numbers to a whopping 2,000 people, you can be sure that most have come to enjoy the local delicacy, calderetes de llagosta, a dish of boiled lobster simmered in a fresh garlic, onion and tomato sauce, then finished off with a few drops of cognac and served with toast. The best place to enjoy the dish is at one of the restaurants on the Paseo Marítimo promenade and the town square overlooking the bay.
