Travel information Menorca.

Part of the Balearic Islands in the Mediteranean, about 100 km from the coast of the Costa Blanca.

Two regions in Menorca : Tramontana in the north and Migjorn in the south.

The charm of Minorca lies in its rough grassy fields and dense woods, sprawling over gentle hills and cascading from steep cliffs. The terrain reveals tiny market gardens renowned for the intense flavour of their produce and vast areas given to cattle and sheep in rural splendour. Its cuisine is as flavoursome as it is unpretentious and authentic - sea-fresh lobsters, gorgeous prawns, pan-fried fish, grilled lamb, seasoned with hillside herbs, not to mention heavenly breads and mountains of tangy, local cheese. Menorca is an perfect haven, sweet in spring, sensual in summer and amorous in autumn. It offers spectacular walks, silky beaches, satin coves and turquoise shallows lying next to deep blue ports

Main cities: Maó [ capital city ] and Ciutadella.

Binibeca & Binisafua, Punta Prima, Cala'n Porter, Santo Tomas & Son Bou.

Sovereign Premium Holidays [ ATOL 230 ]
A shy little sister to Majorca with a following from the beach cognoscenti; you can still nose your jeep down a dirt track and find a secret cove to call your own. This is a romantic island where whispered rumours still echo of Nelson's visit with Lady Hamilton, his beloved mistress. Her idyllic coastline is dotted with over a hundred glorious beaches with Punta Prima, Cala'n Bosch and Cala Galdana highly recommended. Sovereign offer a range of hotels from lively, family properties, with sports and regular entertainment, to honeymoon retreats on secluded beaches. Days can be spent soaking up the sunshine on secluded sands while people -watching from chic pavement cafés is a common pastime on warm evenings. If Menorca feels familiar, it's because the British occupied the island in the 18th century. The legacy shows up in the smart Georgian merchants' houses of the capital Mahon, best on a Saturday morning when the locals swell the streets to shop in the open-air market.

History of Minorca

Minorca was annexed to the Caliphate of Cordoba in 903. The island was conquered by Alfons III of Aragon on January 17, 1287, Minorca's national day, and until 1344 was part of the Kingdom of Majorca, before being annexed to Aragon and thus becoming later part of Spain. During the 16th century, Turkish naval attacks destroyed Mahon and the then capital Ciutadella.
