Sorry for the overload, but just one more pic from the most #crazy #Easter #Sunday ritual that I've ever witnessed. In #Ciutedella, #Menorca, an effigy that represents a contentious issue is hung up in the street, and then shot by men with #shotguns until it catches alight. #religion #Catholic #culture #heritage #tradition #travel #tourism #tourist #holiday #Balearics #Espana #Spain

Some decent bottled #beers sampled in #Menorca: Grahame Pearce; #Estrella Elephant; Estrella Galicia; and Voll-Damm. Once upon a time the #beer in #Spain was pretty limited, not any more! #pub #drink #travel #tourism #tourist #Espana #Catalonia #bottle

Apologies for the poor quality of this shot, but a #Canadian #Airforce #Hercules is a rare sight at #Leeds Bradford #Airport, and not something I expected to see when I got off my plane tonight equipped with only my #iphone! #aviation #aircraft #military #airplane #aeroplane #travel #tourism #tourist

The reason we went to #Ciutedella today was to see a #bizarre #Easter Sunday ritual. In public squares around the city, #effigies representing contentious political issues are hung up as though they have been lynched. These are then shot by men with shotguns until they catch alight. The bottom right picture is the aftermath. See the #shotgun cartridges. I took photos of the shooting on my other camera, and will upload these tomorrow. #culture #heritage #politics #travel #tourism #tourist #Menorca #Catalonia #Spain #Espana #Balearics
