Of the four main islands in the Spanish Balearic archipelago, Menorca is the most private, even though it is the second largest, stretching over some fifty kilometres. This is because of the dictator Franco or thanks to him! As a result, Menorca escaped the mass tourism and urbanisation of the coastline, which took place in certain parts of neighbouring Mallorca.
This fishing village is located south of Mahon, the capital of Menorca. Binibeca is particularly known for its pretty white houses. Although more travellers are discovering Menorca today, the island remains unspoilt.
Here, there are very few large seaside resorts and XXL hotels like in Palma de Mallorca, but instead charming hotels and fincas farmhouses transformed into more or less chic holiday cottages, with agrotourism that respects the landscape and traditions; no nightclubs and crazy techno parties like in Ibiza, but inns and restaurants where you can sample the local specialities. But don't think you'll get bored on a trip to Menorca!
People come here to enjoy its authentic atmosphere, where "slow tourism" is practiced and you can discover unspoilt Mediterranean landscapes.
Tracing a line from east to west, the main road divides the island in two, with gentle hills the highest point reaching m dotted with olive trees and fields enclosed by low drystone walls where cows and sheep graze. To the north, the wild coastline is reminiscent of Brittany, but with Mediterranean sunshine and the song of the cicadas! You will discover secluded coves for swimming and tiny harbours like Fornells with its smart venues. Beyond the landscapes, Menorca is enhanced with whitewashed villages and fortified farmhouses.
