    Just for future references Gabriel. Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza, Formentera and Cabrera form the Autonomous Community of the Balearic Islands. It has it's own independent goverment, as well as the Valencian Community and Catalonia. The three of them are politically independent but they share both culturally and historically a lot of traditions and of course, the language, which is called different in some areas: valencian, mallorquin, even menorquin...all of them are dialects of the catalan language, although there is a bit of controversy in this topic because there are those think that for example valencian is a language that has it's own roots and has nothing to do with catalan. I particularly think is a dialect, even though I live in a town in Alicante where valencian is spoken, but we don't say that we speak catalan, we say we speak valencian, but some people consider that a mistake. I can't see why but I think they're saying that because they have a specific political ideology, nationalist ideology and that's just shitty.

    Hi! Just wanted to point out that you got a bit confused with the whole Catalonia things. It is confusing even for us Spaniards...However, just know that Catalonia, Comunidad Valenciana and Balearic Islands are different regions. They all share similarities in their local language; Valencian language derives from Catalan, and so does the balearic dialects, but they don’t belong to the region of Catalonia.

      Actually it says "Casal de el Toro" (casal, not casa). So I think it's in Catalan, but it's very similar to Spanish. On Wikipedia it says: "El Toro in Catalan, sometimes known by its Spanish name of Monte Toro, is the tallest hill of the island of Menorca."
