本集简介

Majorca, known for its food culture, boasts four Michelin-starred restaurants, with the renowned Marc Fosh being the only British chef awarded a star in Spain. The island's stunning coastline, a superyacht haven, owes its beauty to the humble seagrass called posidonia, which is threatened by tourism. We follow a team of volunteers who help to safeguard it.

Majorca: Jewel of the Med

We continue our journey on the breathtaking island of Majorca, a major hub for superyachts, with the yachting industry being a key contributor to the island's economy. We follow Simon Jones, a former chef, who runs a luxury catering company sourcing the best local food and drink. Majorca also boasts rich traditions, like the Nit de Foc festival, and quieter spots like Natura Cavall, a horse rescue centre for retired Spanish Trotters, funding their work through tourist treks.

Menorca: Jewel of the Med Part 1

Menorca, a fifth the size of Majorca, boasts breathtaking views from its highest peak and a storied past. The capital, Mahon, is home to the Mediterranean's largest natural harbour, once a battleground for empires. Today, it hosts luxury yachts. The island's mares stone, a golden sandstone, has been used for millennia, shaping houses, churches, and fortresses. Lithica, a former quarry, is now a cultural heart, hosting 60,000 visitors annually. And Menorca's festivals, such as celebrating the Patron of Sant Jaume in Es Castell, also draw crowds.
