Menorca has become this summer the most popular holiday destination. And the truth is that reasons to visit the Balearic island are not lacking: towns full of magic and charm, paradisiacal beaches with crystal clear waters, dreamy sunsets … The island only has 53 kilometers from side to side, so the ideal is to rent a car and visit some of the most beautiful towns in Menorca .
Mahon
Mahón is the capital of Menorca and the most important population center: it has 28,000 inhabitants. Its main attraction is the natural harbor of more than five kilometers in length , considered one of the best in the world. The old town has a very special charm and houses monuments of great interest such as the Town Hall or the Church of Santa María.
Binibeca
Surely what you most want to spend your days off is to be calm and listen to nothing but silence. Well, Binibeca is a great place to walk around and enjoy relaxation . A Mediterranean-style coastal town, with stone alleys and charming white houses. There is nothing more pleasant than touring Binibeca with the sound of the sea in the background!
Fornells
If you visit the island of Menorca, you cannot miss the town of Fornells. Despite being an increasingly popular tourist destination, it has not lost an iota of its fishing tradition . In addition to walking through its streets, we recommend you visit the Torre de Fornells. It was built by the English in the 19th century, and from it there are great views of the coast.
Ciutadella
Another of the most beautiful towns in Menorca is Ciutadella, a town with a stately air and whose historic center will make you fall in love from the first moment. It is perfect for a day trip as it has many places that are worth visiting, such as the Cathedral of Menorca , the Port of Ciutadella or the Castle of San Nicolás.
Es Castell
And finally, we recommend Es Castell, located very close to Mahón. Its main emblem is the Castillo de San Felipe , a fortress located at the entrance to the port and which, during the invasion era, was a very important strategic point. The old town is made up of historic buildings.
