Menorca Holidays - Travel Guide

Menorca is one of the most unspoilt islands in the whole of the Mediterranean. In addition to the natural beauty of Menorca, the island has a rich cultural heritage reflecting its history of British, French and Spanish colonisation. A nice place to visit on Menorca holidays is the capital Mahon, a charming, sedate town featuring impressive Georgian townhouses from the days of British occupation in the 18th century. The harbour area is lined with cafés and restaurants that make it an inviting place to sit down and people watch.

The cuisine to sample on Menorca holidays is varied enough to suit most palates with the usual tourist fare of Italian and French eateries, but local dishes such as Spanish tapas and the popular grilled sardines are fine alternatives.
