About
El Toro is the highest point on the Balearic island of Menorca, rising to 358 m (1,175 ft). The hill hosts the Sanctuary of the Virgen del Toro, an old Gothic church dating from 1670, a statue of Christ, a small gift shop and a restaurant with sweeping views. The summit can be reached by car or on foot; the trail offers panoramic vistas of the entire island and even the mountains of Mallorca on clear days. The site is a popular lookout for hikers, photographers and history enthusiasts, and it has been designated as a protected natural area by the Spanish Ministry of Environment (ANEI).
