Leiva sings it, “one is from the place I want to return to.” There are destinations that we always repeat, either to disconnect or to reconnect. With ourselves, with our family, with our friends… or with the energy of the environment itself, since there are places that give off magic. They say that the Balearic Islands are one of them, and the truth is that not only the magnetic point of Es Vedra, in Ibiza , captures those who visit it, but the rest of its islands also have thousands of lovers who, summer after summer, want to return to its rocky and green landscapes, with the Mediterranean Sea in the background.
This is how Laura Escanes defines herself, an absolute lover of Menorca, her refuge since she was a child. There we meet the influencer , podcaster and presenter – now of a reality show, precisely, about adventure and travel – who, making room for us in her holidays (she is going to enjoy a month on her favorite island), shows us some of her favorite corners and tells us all about her summer plans.
LAURA ESCANES: I have been coming to Menorca for a long time. When I was little I came with my family; then with friends, with partners… All the important people in my life have been to Menorca with me. And I think it is so special because I have lived many moments on this island; good moments, but also bad moments. And that makes you connect a lot with the place and with yourself. Also Menorca has magic, I think that people who have been there also feel it. It is like it captures you.
You say you’ve been coming here since you were a child, do you remember your first time in Menorca?
I must have been eight years old or something like that, I have memories of some specific areas, beaches… but above all seeing typical photos of holidays with the family, which take you back to that moment. I couldn’t tell you where we went or what we did, but I do remember being all together. And I think that I fell in love with Menorca since I was little. It’s my island.
