What attracts visitors to Menorca is its pristine beaches and breath taking landscapes; however, there’s much more to investigate on this Balearic Island paradise. Located off the coast of Spain and popular for beach holidays, Menorca is also a place of historical monuments, museums and architecture.

The Museum of Menorca is dedicated to archaeological history, hosting collections of coins, pottery, paintings and engravings dating back to ancient history. Housed in a baroque 17th Century building, this museum was once a Franciscan monastery and the atmosphere is well-applied to the items it exhibits.
The S’Hostal quarries are near the town of Cuitadella on the western end of Menorca. Visitors are invited to observe these magnificent sandstone quarries that were operational up until the close of the previous Century, and are said to be over 200 years old. Local authorities have been hard at work in preserving and restoring this magnificent site, where a botanic garden dedicated to growing autochthonous plants can also be seen.
Visitors may enjoy the port of Mao, which has the distinction of being the second deepest natural water harbour in the world, located just on the outskirts of Mao’s city centre. Stop in at numerous boutiques, galleries, bars and restaurants and spend some time at the shoreline of this picturesque port.

Enjoy Holidays to Menorca, which may begin by the seaside, but become much more; from historic museums and gothic cathedrals to sandstone quarries and hidden caves; there is an abundance of things to do on this island paradise.
