Pueblo de pescadores.

Took a trip to Binibeca Vell today, heaving with tourists in the Summer but currently deserted except for a few photographers. Buster has declared it his new favourite place, and went tearing around the little passages and stairways and alleys as fast as his legs would carry him. It's a curious place, a bit like a set for The Prisoner, but certainly photogenic. There are signs everywhere exhorting Silence as it's meant to be a peaceful place, complete with a fake church - just a spire amongst the dwellings. More views in extras, since I have a new set available for the New Year.



"Binibèquer Vell (or Binibeca Vell) is one of the most visited towns of Menorca during the summer months. It is a “village” built in 1972 as an imitation of the old houses of fishermen. If you are looking for some information about its history, you may find very derogatory comments about Binibèquer.
For some it is just a “big lie”, a village built to lure tourists into thinking that this is an authentic old fishing village.Regardless of its authenticity, Binibèquer is worth a visit as it is a quite charming place, with houses and narrow alleys where it is quite fun to get lost for a moment. If you like photography do not forget the camera because in this town you can make great pictures."
