Menorca
Boomerang-shaped Menorca stretches west from the enormous natural harbour around the capital Mahón to the smaller port of Ciutadella, a distance of just 45 kilometres. Both towns have preserved much of their 18th-century grandeur, though Ciutadella has the aesthetic edge, its still harbour flanked by bobbing yachts and waterfront restaurants, its ancient centre shadowed by fine old mansions and an impressive Gothic cathedral. Linking the two through the pastoral interior is Menorca’s only main road, off which side roads snake to craggy coves and sandy beaches – arguably the most beautiful the Balearics have to offer. Highlights include Turqueta, Macarelleta and Trebaluger in the south and Platja de Calalleria in the north, a wide scimitar of sand beneath a flawless blue sky.
