It continued operative until 1964 when it was closed down, falling into abandon with grass and weeds which eventually covered it, until in 2004, the Association of the Friends of Hospital Island (another name for it), set about the task of recovering its splendour.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-4990\" src=\"\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Illa_del_Rei_Mao_2011.jpg\" alt=\"Isla del Rey Mah\u00f3n\" width=\"800\" height=\"511\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Illa_del_Rei_Mao_2011.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Illa_del_Rei_Mao_2011-300x192.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Illa_del_Rei_Mao_2011-768x491.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.bonninsanso.com\/discoverymenorca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/11\/Illa_del_Rei_Mao_2011-400x256.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Step by step and with great dedication, they have managed to turn it not only into a not-to-be-missed visit, but have also made it an information centre about Mare Nostrum, the Mediterranean, run today by the Association of Volunteers of the Illa del Rei.
