Maó’s market, in the cloister of the former Carme convent, with stalls of local produce; next door, the fish market with tapas counters.
Mahón-Menorca cheese, sobrasada and carn i xua, ensaïmadas, and at the fish market, tapas of the day’s catch at the counters.
The cloister has a wonderful view over the harbour.
