Main theme: Ethnology Molí de Dalt in Sant Lluís is a beautiful reminder of the three windmills that characterised the typical architecture of the village - founded by the French - for almost 200 years. This mill may have been erected at the same time the first settlers began to build their houses in the area. Years later, the largest of the three mills, Molí d'Enmig, began operating on the high street a few metres from the first mill in 1776. Finally, Molí de Baix was constructed on a plot of land on calle Conde de Lannion in the southern part of the village in 1780. Molí de Dalt had wooden machinery with broad blades to harness wind power and rotate the mill that ground grain into flour. The mill was completely restored in 1987 and the blades and machinery for milling grain replaced. The ground floor houses an ethnology museum that has an interesting collection of farming implements, tools and utensils from traditional rural life and trades now extinct on display.

Menorca's Centro Artesanal is a meeting place for promoting both traditional and modern arts and crafts. A shop, temporary and audio-visual exhibitions and a range of different activities help local artisans garner recognition for their work. This centre was created to be a reference point in Menorcan arts and crafts and defend and promote them. It is a showcase for a wide array of ancient trades that are still being practised today, such as tapestry repairers, silversmiths and beekeepers, etc.. All of their products can be purchased at the shop on the premises. The Popular Crafts Show, a permanent exhibition, features the following elements: - Dry Stone Wall: Master Artisan Isaías Pons Florit. This technique is used to built walls exclusively with stones, without any type of mortar or cement. It has three main goals: . To protect vegetation and crops from the island's prevailing winds. . To remove stones from the land and roads to make tilling the soil easier. . To allow livestock to graze in rotation, since it divides up the countryside. This ancestral method is still in use today and it is estimated that 70,000 kilometres of dry stone wall can be found in the Menorcan countryside. - Stone Cattle Shelters: Master Artisan Isaías Pons Florit. Menorca's farmers built these rural structures with dry stone techniques to shelter pasturing livestock from inclement weather. - Wild Olive Tree Barriers: Master Artisan Miquel Gomila Salom. The Menorcan countryside abounds with wild olive trees and its hard wood was used by the island's farmers to build barriers to close off dry stone walls. Their main function is to keep cattle from wandering off. - Ceramics: Master Artisan Arturo Gener Fuster. One of the most common items in daily use in Menorcan life is fired clay. Items such as laundry tubs and water, milk or oil jugs are examples of the wide variety of popular clay pieces in use.

Lilford’s wall lizard subspecies (Podarcis lilfordi balearica) occurring in Isla del Rey constitutes an endemism, that is, it can only be found in this islet, and in no other place in the world. Moreover, this vertebrate is also the unique one endemic to Minorca! Thus, it possesses an incalculable valueit and it is strictly protected. It is a medium-sized lizard with very variable colorations and designs, encompassing from blueish-greenish colour-schemes to brownish ones, with dorsal black lines and streaks to a greater or lesser extent. Ventral coloration also varies, from white or yellowish to orange-coloured, being or not blotched with dark spots. Males are bigger and have more robust heads. For that reason, they are easily distinguished from females, which are smaller and have a more delicate constitution. These lizards mainly feed on invertebrates and different parts of plants. Thus, they are omnivores. In the manner of other species of lizards, they are able to discard (and later regenerate) their tail as a self-defence mechanism to elude predators, such as the common kestrel (Falco tinnunculus), which nests in the islet. Lizards can be found all over the Isla del Rey’s surface, but they show a clear preference to the traditional dry walls (paret seca), in whose clefts they find both refuge and food. Ruins of the ancient Hospital building play also a key role in their conservation. Population density in this islet is high. However, this species is listed as “Endangered” in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Cats and other introduced predators, their translocation and/or illegal capture, and poisoned baits aimed to rats or gulls are the main threats for this species. If you visit the Hospital, please take advantage of your trip to the island so as to watch these beautiful animals. But keep the distances; although lizards are curious about visitors, they should not be bothered. They are the jewel of the Isla del Rey’s fauna, please respect them! written By Alicia Isabel León Lobera.
