Menorca
Menorca
or Minorca as it is sometimes known is one of the most unspoilt islands
in the Mediterranean. Unlike many of the other islands Menorca's development
has been strictly controlled, and so has retained its natural beauty
with much of the lovely countryside untouched. One of the smallest islands
in the area Menorca is only thirty one miles in length and nine wide.
As well as the varied countryside the island has excellent beaches of
fine sand, Son Bou is probably the longest beach in Menorca, the main
attraction being the backdrop of lush countryside which has been unspoilt
by development.
The islands
resorts are much more low key than those of the neighbouring island
of Majorca and appeal to those wishing to have a quiet relaxing holiday,
by day you can explore the lush countryside and lovely secluded coves,
and on the warm Menorcan evenings there are plenty of stylish restaurants
and bars where you can sample superb cuisine and watch the sun go down.
Menorca
has kept the perfect balance between tourism and local life, which is
part of its charm; you will find traditional small villages along side
the holiday resorts.
