Menorca is the most eastern island of the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea.

Ciutadella, the island’s second most important town, is located in the very west of the island with many narrow streets branching out into small squares. Here, the rhythm of life is leisurely, and the local people are unrushed and take their time. The Moors, who called it "Medina Minurka", ruled this former Roman settlement for more than three centuries. Next they were replaced by the Catalans under King Alfons The Third.

One of the most beautiful necropolises in Menorca is situated on the northern coast, Cala Morell, with difficult-to-access terrain, which in its original form is unchanged right up to the present day. There are spectacular caves artificially dug out and carved into the stone designed to provide eternal peace for the dead.

Menorca´s capital of Maó. its port being the largest in the Mediterranean, is located on the steep bank of a fjord-like bay that was inhabited by Phoenician merchants as early as 800 BC. The massive main church of the former Carmelite monastery frames the Placa Del Carmen. This church, designed in Classical style, is the largest religious building in the city.

Binibèquer Vell was built close to the coast, an award-winning holiday resort whose dream scenery looks like something out of a picture book. The sculptures are reminiscent of a typical fishing village that glows white on the rocky coast.

Torre D'en Galmés is the largest prehistoric settlement on Menorca. Due to its location high up on a hill, parts of the south coast could be easily observed. The extensive settlement existed from the pre-Talayotic Period of Navetas to the Late Roman Period. Three Talayots, several roundhouses and a few ritual sites are still easily recognizable.

Menorca remains a tranquil island of dreams with mysterious relics from prehistoric times, idyllic bays and romantic old towns.
