MENORCA IS AN EXQUISITE HIDEAWAY WITH SUPERB AND EVEN ITS OWN OF STONEHENGE VINEYARDS VERSION
BALEARIC BEAUTY

STAR ATTRACTION 

At half the size of the Isle of Wight, Balearic bolthole Menorca, where Sir Elton John has a home, is proof that small can indeed be beautiful. But it’s also a cultural hot spot with hidden depths. Stunning 13thcentury architecture gives the island its character and unique historical legacy – something you can learn about in the Museo de Menorca. In particular, check out Menorca's answer to Stonehenge, the Bronze Age megaliths called talayots, at Torralba d'en Salort. 

Nature is at its heart too and it's the largest Biosphere Marine Reserve in the Mediterranean, the locals' love and respect for their homeland.

Smaller than neighbouring Majorca, Menorca's natural wonders are best discovered on a horse or bike ride along the island's fringes via the 185km-long Cami de Cavalls bridle way. And don't leave without exploring the whitewashed hilltop villages and the atmospheric Ciutadella, Menorca's "Old fuelled by Town", formerly the capital, where a spot of retail therapy on the avenue Ses Voltes is a must.
