Cruising around Mallorca, Spain
Notice how tiny the white boat is next to Isla Dragonera's cliffs in the first photo. The watch tower at the top of the rock would have been an amazing place from which to watch the sea for pirates and invaders.
The harbour on the bottom right hand corner image is in Solier - the only safe refuge on Mallorca's nearly 50 nautical mile long northwest coast. You don't want to be caught out near those rocks when the Tramontana blows!
The top right hand photo is from Ibiza's west coast - it is just as forbidding as Mallorca's. Don't try to anchor there, the water is often 200 feet or so deep right up to the rocks.
