Ferreries (Catalan pronunciation: [fərəˈɾi.əs]) is a municipality on the island of Menorca, in the Spanish autonomous community of the Balearic Islands. Its name is derived from the Catalan word ferrer ("blacksmith"), which in turn, comes from Latin word ferrum. At an elevation of 150 metres it is the island's highest town.[2] Plaça Espanya [3]
