Ven a la Isla del Rey

El lugar más emblemático del puerto de Mahón es  La «Illa de s’Hospital», o Isla del Rey , declarada Monumento Histórico Artístico Nacional en 1979.

Desde el puerto de Mahón puedes ir a la Isla del Rey en el Yellow Catamaran.  Haz la visita guiada  y participa en el desayuno con los voluntarios que acuden todos los domingos por la mañana.  (Aviso: intentarán convencerte de que te quedes a trabajar)

Desde 2004 el Hospital está siendo restaurado, cuidado y gestionado por la Fundación «Amics de l’Illa de l’Hospital» y los voluntarios de todas las nacionalidades que con poco dinero y gran humor han convertido varios espacios del edificio central en museo de material médico, sala de autopsias y biblioteca; recreado salas de enfermos, la farmacia, un jardín de hierbas medicinales, etc. y  en la capilla  protestante vuelven a hacer sonar música religiosa.
