Líthica, Pedreres de s'Hostal

1 Camí Vell, Ciutadella de Menorca, Illes Balears

Description

Líthica is an association that rehabilitated the stone quarries of Pedrera de s'Hostal in Menorca into sculpted landscapes with labyrinths (orchards, plant and mineral), gardens, and spaces to exhibit artistic creations. Some of the original equipment has also been preserved.

Access & Transport

The site is 2.5km east of the centre of Ciutadella de Menorca. The quarry is signposted off the Me-1 road, just after the roundabout intersecting with the RC-1/RC-2 when driving out of town. There is parking on site

Instructions & Recommendations

Parents should keep watch over their children

Meta review

Online reviewers mostly enjoyed the originality of the venue and the impressive landscape but for a significant minority it is should be very much considered a backup option if one has some spare time and is tired of beaches. The highlights for adults are the deep quarry and the medieval garden, whereas for children it is the labyrinths.

Environmental & Social

No carbon footprint and repurposed site.

Conclusion

Líthica's concept is certainly original and quite well executed. Worth seeing for those in the area but not as a priority.

Key positive

Original and visually impressive

Family friendly

Key negative

Doesn't hold interest for long

Suitability

Not accessible to visitors with reduced mobility. Younger children should be kept under watch
