Magical Menorca!


Menorca! I just loved it. As my friend told me it is really a magical island. Menorca is a small island, you can rent a car at the airport and enjoy this island for the weekend. You have 2 main cities Mahon and Cuidadella. Each of them with their own charm. Cuidadella is more picturesque  and Mahon is the city capital of Menorca. Mahon has the second deepest natural harbour in the world and is the 2nd largest natural port in Europe.  Menorca, a Balearic Island, has a mix of colonial and local architecture.

 Visit their beautiful “Calas” (creek) where you will get paradisiac beaches and views. Beaches/calas: Pregonda, cala Turqueta, Cala mitjana, Cala son Saura, Biniparratx.
You could also visit Far D’artux.
Fornells is a fishermen port where many Barceloneses summer there. Discover Binibeca Vell, a small but serene village, in the southeast of Menorca, known as the “pueblo de Pescadores”, fishermen village. A must go!
Visit the Cova d’en Xoroi, even tough touristic, it has fascinating views. Go in the evening and admire the sunset while having a drink, marvelous!

Cas Consol in Cuidadella: wonderful restaurant with an amazing view of the port. Ask to sit on the Terrace. Plaça des Born, 17. Ciutadella de Menorca (Illes Balears). Telèfon de contacte: 971 48 46 54

Café Balear in Cuidadella: we didn’t go but it was recommended by few friends.

You have loads of restaurants on the port of Mahon. Vermut on the port on Sunday afternoon in Can Vermut with live music. What else do you need, magnificent views, vermut and music!

Enjoy your break!
