¡Warning!
The last one should close the gate:
In Menorca it is customary and a sign of acknowledgement of how to walk in the countryside by leave gates as you find them, whether they are open or closed. Our farmers know the needs of their livestock, and it is just as important that their animals can move around as it is that they do not escape.
