Fornells
Located in the north, which is known for its unspoilt and very
often, deserted beaches, Fornells is a sleepy resort and fishing
town. Originally founded to serve the 16th century castle as a
defence against the Barbary pirates, all that remains of the
military is the watchtower perched upon a hill, which visitors can
visit. Fornells' quaint waterfront area lined with shops and
restaurants bustles during the summer months, but remains quiet the
rest of the year. Travellers can enjoy water sports here, such as
windsurfing and scuba divers can enjoy an excursion to the marine
park off the north shores and marvel at the magnificent colours and
marine life.
