Menorca Sketchbook offers a remarkable new vision of the island
through watercolour and pencil sketches from Graham Byfield,
long-term resident of Es Migjorn, which are supported by a highly
informative text from Marcus Binney, a regular visitor to the
island. Menorca is full of hidden secrets and the book illustrates
not only the main buildings and sites of obvious importance, but
also many quirky aspects of Menorcan life and its glorious
countryside and heritage, making it a surprise and delight to both
visitors and residents alike. Unlike many of its neighbours Menorca
has been spared much of the recent ravages of development and now
supports a strong ecological ethic with safeguards in place to
avoid uncontrolled exploitation. A strong volunteering spirit
exists, which supports the local authorities to ensure the beaches
are kept clean, and many old buildings are saved from collapse and
ruin, most notably the Naval Hospital on the Isla del Rey and
several old windmills. Menorca is truly a hidden gem and this book
aims to reveal some of these secrets which makes the island so
special.
