History and culture
Menorca’s capital overlooks one of the largest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. Above, the historic centre; below, the Moll de Ponent with restaurants and bars.
Food and local markets
Maó’s market, in the cloister of the former Carme convent, with stalls of local produce; next door, the fish market with tapas counters.
History and culture
Isabel II’s fortress, built in the 19th century to defend the entrance to Maó harbour. Underground galleries, bastions and a large Vavasseur gun at Spain’s easternmost point.
Charming places
The little harbour of Es Castell, at the mouth of Maó harbour: old fishermen’s caves turned into restaurants with tables by the water.
Charming places
A cluster of white houses in the style of a fishing village, built by the sea in the 1960s. Its alleys are among the most photographed in Menorca.
History and culture
Menorca’s largest prehistoric necropolis: about 90 burial caves carved into the cliffs of two joined coves, reached on foot.
Nightlife and leisure
A natural cave halfway down the Cala en Porter cliff turned into a bar with terraces over the sea to watch the sunset, and a club at night.
Charming places
Menorca’s highest point (358 m), in the centre of the island. At the top are the sanctuary of the Virgin of El Toro and a viewpoint from which you can see almost all of Menorca.
Charming places
A fishing village in the north, at the end of a large, calm bay. It’s famous for its lobster stew and its 18th-century defence tower.
Beaches and coves
An unspoilt cove in the north with reddish sand and rocks and islets off the shore. You reach it on foot from Binimel·là in about 35 minutes.
Charming places
The lighthouse at Menorca’s northernmost point, above 90-metre cliffs. From here you see the north coast, the natural harbour of Sanitja and, on clear days, Mallorca.
Beaches and coves
A white-sand cove surrounded by cliffs and pines, a short walk from Cala Galdana. Much loved for its crystal-clear water.
Beaches and coves
A large shell-shaped cove with every facility, at the mouth of the Algendar gorge. Calm water, ideal for families.
Nature and hiking
One of Menorca’s longest gorges, between Ferreries and Cala Galdana: rock walls, orchards and a small stream with water almost all year.
History and culture
A collective tomb shaped like an upturned boat, used roughly between 1200 and 750 BC. It’s Menorca’s most emblematic prehistoric monument.
History and culture
Menorca’s old capital: palaces, the Gothic cathedral, plaça des Born and the arcaded streets of Ses Voltes, all on foot within less than a kilometre.
Beaches and coves
An unspoilt cove south of Ciutadella with white sand, turquoise water and pine woods down to the shore. No buildings around it.
Charming places
A 1913 lighthouse on Ciutadella’s north coast, about 7 km from the centre, surrounded by a landscape of dry-stone walls. One of the island’s best sunsets.
Beaches and coves
Menorca’s most famous coves: white sand and turquoise water between cliffs and pines. Macarelleta, smaller, is 10 minutes away on foot.
History and culture
Old marès stone quarries turned into a visitor space with labyrinths, gardens and an amphitheatre carved into the stone. They explain how Menorca was built.
Charming places
A black-and-white striped lighthouse at the south-western tip of Menorca, next to Cala en Bosc. Facing Mallorca, it’s another great spot for sunset.
