Out & About

From enjoying the night-life in the Cova d'en Xoroi, a cave converted into a disco with stunning views over the sea, from a cliff where you can dance with the best DJs, to spending a quiet night in Cala Corb to enjoying traditional maritime songs, Minorca offers everything you want.

Numerous dirt roads cross the island.You can discover them on foot or by bicycle, getting to know the heart of Minorca. For example, the Camí de Cavalls runs along the coast. Along the way, you can admire the many prehistoric monuments, artificial caves and the typical taules, huge blocks of stone arranged forming a T. The Sanctuary of the Toro is the highest point of the island and offers a spectacular panoramic view.

The Castle of Sant Felip, in Mahon, has a network of underground tunnels that can still be covered. It's one of the largest gothic symbols of the island. The Teatro Principal is one of the oldest in Spain. It's also worth to walk up the steep streets of the old town to admire the modernist buildings or viewpoints such as the one in Plaza Miranda.If you pass by Mahon, you must try their famous cheese,the Mahon-Menorca cheese, made of cow's milk. From 1985 he was awarded the designation of origin. The harbour of the city is a natural port, which has long been home to historical landings and that is also made of small islands that from time to time host leisure activities.

It's easy to perceive the Muslim presence in the streets of the old town of Ciutadella. On the other hand, the Cathedral was built on an ancient Moorish mosque.
The town of Mercadal is located in the geographical centre of the island.

Undoubtedly the main attraction of Minorca is its nature, its beaches. You'll find different kids of beaches, from long sandy ones to small inaccessible coves. In the south, the beaches have fine sand and turquoise water and they are surrounded by vast pine forests while the north is wilder. The wind in this part of the island shapes the rocks creating precious virgin coves. Some of the prettier or more popular beaches/coves are: Macarella, one of the most famous, and very close to it Macarelleta, mostly nudist; Cala Galdana, more touristy, with hotels and buildings around it; Cala Mitjana, large and easily accessible; Trebalúger, which must be reached on foot from Mitjana; Pregonda, a semi-virgin cove, one of the best known, or Escorxada, a cove with difficult access. Besides these, there are plenty of other coves, you just have to explore the island and find them.

What's going on in

In August, it takes place the Fiesta de la Luna Llena (Full Moon Party) where you will live unforgettable nights.

The festivities of Ciutadella are the first of the traditional celebrations of the island's towns, which end with the festivity of Sant Nicolau in Mercadal.
