Lithica, Balearic Islands, Spain
4.5 (522 reviews) Spent Ranking #4 in Menorca Gardens
Unique and beautiful
Having seen pictures of the former quarry and the maze, I was intrigued. It is so much more - lots of small and large gardens to walk through, mainly planted in the former stone works in different styles all with Mediterranean plants, I never seemed to find the same path twice! Tranquil in parts with places to sit in the shade, lots of wildlife - various birds and dragonflies around the ponds and pools of water. It took around 90 mins to go around, well laid out and signposted small gift shop which also had a small selection of cold drinks, toilets and parking. Good value for 7€, I would certainly go back. Wouldn’t recommend for very young children or anyone with mobility issues due to steps, uneven paths, but lots of families with older children.

Rocks have history and beauty
When I was offered to visit Lithica, I thought "How boring to go see stones". But in this place, the beauty of the rock, of the earth's crust is a natural museum with magnificent works of art. The quality of the range of colors and textures in this quarry is spectacular.

Something different.
Unusual to recommend a quarry but this was well worth the time . It has some geometric rock formations that are spectacular and deep excavations with a maze . The walk round takes about an hour and the route is well marked with eye icons for the best bits to photograph. We particularly appreciated the garden of life with its serenity and a small fountain .
