Minorca Island: discover the Island of Menorca

Menorca: the Island of Tranquility

The island of Menorca has always been a cozy and quite mysterious haven for all those looking for a quiet holiday. You’re surrounded by silence, tranquility and peace, with the plus of a wonderful sea. Menorca has 80 beaches and bays and most of them are still unspoilt, enclosed by pines or the typical Mediterranean ‚macchia’ trees. It’s the smallest and least popular of the Balearics, but the absence of mass tourism has allowed the island to maintain its natural beauty. It will enchant you from the moment you arrive.

Resting in turquoise waters, Menorca will undoubtably surprise you. Not only are the beaches and sea stunning; it also offers a unique cuisine and the noble architecture of the Ciutadella or the English charm of Mahon. The handmade products of the island are also one-of-a-kind. There are the famous Avarcas sandals, created from traditions that have been handed down for generations. Then there’s the Menorca Gin, which is produced locally. It’s used to prepare the popular ‚Pomada,’ the official drink of the Fiestas (the San Juan di Ciutadella is the most famous one). And for those who love history and culture, Menorca offers spectacular and unique archaeological discoveries which are respected and loved by visitors as well as the locals. The awesome sites of Menorca will amaze you.

There are also two incomparable things in Menorca ideal for those who want to spend their holidays discovering the beauties of the island’s wildnerness: the Camì de Cavalls and the natural park of Albufera des Grau. Albufera des Grau is a biosphere reserve and home to many protected species of fauna.
