The picture was a dead giveaway, pal.

The British occupied Menorca for most of the 18th century, leaving a legacy of Georgian architecture in the capital, gin distilling and liberal politics. Last place in Spain to fall to Franco.

The colors of the flag gave it away. 😊

The name sounded Spanish and the colors on the flag were the same as Spains.

I didn't need to see the flag on this one. I spent 2 weeks holiday on Tenerife, which is also close to those 2 islands, so knew it was part of Spain. I presumed Minorca would be the same. Beautiful place!!! And the people are wonderful. I'd go back anytime, if I had the chance again
