🤔 BEST TIME TO TRAVEL TO MENORCA
JULY: Menorca shines in summer, although we recommend visiting during the second half of June and the first half of July. The first half of September is also a great option. The beaches will still be beautiful, but there will be far fewer people everywhere.
✔ WHAT TO DO IN MENORCA
Visit rocky coves with turquoise waters, cliffs, megalithic remains, fortifications, wide sandy beaches, dusty paths flanked by dry stone walls, and traditional white houses with reed porches. Menorca is a small European paradise thanks to its strong commitment to environmental conservation and the protection of its island. In 1993, it was declared a Biosphere Reserve.
🌮 YOU CAN'T LEAVE MENORCA WITHOUT TRYING IT
Menorca invites you to savor its excellent cuisine from morning till night. Savory, sweet, brothy, or dry dishes, from the sea and the land. Taste the sea with a hearty lobster stew in Fornells, the land with artisanal raw milk cheeses from the Mahón-Menorca Protected Designation of Origin, artisanal cured meats and sobrasada, or the famous stuffed aubergines. And don't leave without trying the local ice creams and sorbets, with original flavors like pomada (gin and lemonade), as well as the more traditional ones.
👁🗨 CURIOSITIES OF MENORCA
Did you know that mayonnaise was invented in Menorca? This sauce was brought to France by Louis François Armand du Plessis du Richard after defeating the English in the port of Mahón, and they perfected the recipe by adding vegetable oil.
😎 MISS WOOD'S TIP
Watch the sunset from Cap d'Artrutx. As if it were a ritual, the area around this lighthouse, with its distinctive blue and white stripes and built in the mid-19th century, is filled at dusk with a silent procession of locals and tourists. The sun plunges almost literally into the sea, and a round of applause greets the beginning of night.
5 MUST-SEE PLACES IN MALAGA
1. CALA PREGONDA: This untouched corner of northern Menorca can only be accessed by boat or on foot from Binimel·là beach, via a path that runs along the coast.
2. LA NAVETA DES TUDONS: This vestige of the Talayotic culture near Ciutadella is the most famous of those that are preserved and dates from the 14th century BC, and was built by the first inhabitants of the island.
3. CIUTADELLA: Stroll along the port to the Castle of San Nicolás and have a beer in Plaza del Borne or Plaza de Ses Voltes. We recommend watching the rissaga.
4. CAMÍ DE CAVALLS: An ancient trail that circles the island (180 km divided into 20 stages). It combines hiking through the area of beaches and pine forests with dips in dreamy coves.
5. Binibeca: A small fishing village located about 8 kilometers south of Mahón. Its labyrinthine streets and whitewashed houses make it one of the most beautiful villages in Menorca.
