Menorca (Travellers) Book

"Travellers Menorca" is the perfect guide introducing one of the most unspoilt islands in the Mediterranean. The local population support the control of resort development and the woodlands and fields of its hilly rural interior remain largely untouched. Peaceful holiday resorts line the south coast of Menorca and sleepy fishing villages are dotted along Menorca's rockier northern shore. The highlights include many prehistoric remains, caves, unspoilt coves and bays, which are a feature of the island, along with wind-buffeted cliffs and picturesque fishing villages. Monte Toro, the highest point of the island offers wonderful views. The Fiesta of San Juan de Ciutadella, June 19, has been wildly celebrated throughout many centuries. Menorca benefits from being a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve, with large parts of the island protected as areas of special nature interest. The green park and gardens of Es Freginal in the capital Mao are particularly popular during the summer jazz festival. Menorca's interesting 18th-century Xoriguer Gin Distillery is worth a visit. It has direct flights from 42 UK and Ireland airports.Read More
