Following our trip to Mahón, as seen in yesterday’s post, we had to change buses when we got back to Ciutadella. Our bus wasn’t due for a while, so I took a few minutes to have a quick look at the municipal cemetery, which was right across the road from the bus terminal.

My wife was a little anxious that the bus would arrive and we would miss it, so it was a very brief visit. I also only had a couple of shots remaining on the roll of film in my camera, so it didn’t take long to use those up, with one shot of the entrance, and another of a curved row of vaults* within.

It’s interesting to note the differences between cemeteries in hot, southern European countries like Spain, and those in colder, wetter countries like the UK. The architecture, and methods of interment are very different in both.

* I’m not sure of the correct terminology.
