Our last walk on the island was a summation of earlier experiences.  From the village of St Louis - which was the French garrisom in the C18th  we visited another bronze age Talyotic remains, Trebauger.

Heading for the Camí de Cavills we went down a shorter more woody  a limestone gorge where a class of 6/7 year olds were making their own Taula. Cala Rafalet  was secluded (except for the pop-up clasroom)

The walk the carried along the limestone coast to Prima Punta - past another Martello tower to a Pomanda - the local gin and lemonade. Later this afternoon we walked to the Xorgier Gin distillery. Liqueurs are best remembered as holiday photos rather than something kept at the back of the cupboard.

We walked from Es Migjourn Gran down the Baranca de Binigaus to the sea and then along to Son Bou. This is a lush, verdant  limestone gorge. Flowers in abundance and more wild orchids than you could shake a stick at. Halfway down the gorge there is an enormous cavern, Cova de Collom.

However the main joy of the walk was the profusion and variety of wild orchids -  of the pseudocopulation kind- designed by evolution to mimic insects:

This is a mirror orchid

Pyramid orchid

The Taula, a 1500BC stone structure at Torre Blanca

The site in Ebbw Vales was once a large steel works and an industrial basement was taken over to install the annual moveable art feast.

The entry runway.

The ground floor.

Alas  on Saturday, the first day, the person empowered to label all the art works wasn't working. I enclose a selection of images.  My favourite was a sculpture based on aorta - a fine piece of sci-art

Other bits from the many works I liked.... the images will have to speak for themselves
