Attractions Nearby Mallorca: Menorca - Mallorca, Spain
Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic islands and is smaller and quieter than its neighbour Mallorca. Situated just 34 km / 21 miles from Mallorca, the island of Menorca has many family-friendly resorts and almost as many beaches as Mallorca and Ibiza combined. Menorca has escaped most of the effect of package holidays and the island's small towns and villages offer a fairly quiet and relaxed holiday, even during the peak season, with many wonderful attractions.

Menorca is a very green island, with pinewoods and many fields for the island's 25,000 grazing cattle. Cycling tracks criss-cross the meadows and scrublands, offering some spectacular views of the island and the seafront. The north coast of Menorca is rocky and rough, whilst in contract, the south coast of Menorca is full of sandy coves, with fine, golden sand, sheltered by cliffs.

The oldest and largest towns in Menorca are Mao, the walled capital of Menorca, which is situated at the end of an enormous natural harbour, and Ciutadella, Menorca's ancient capital at the opposite end of the island. Mao is a particularly busy port and has many impressive architectural features, whilst Ciutadella is a more graceful town, full of winding streets and old buildings, including several churches.

There is an enormous amount to see and do on the island of Menorca. Visit our Menorca World Guide for further details...

During the 1990s tourism in Ibiza grew dramatically and the island was recorded in the Guinness Book of World Records as the 'entertainment island of the world'.

Many thousands of visitors fill the resorts on Ibiza and the big-name nightclubs are legendary. Away from the clubs, other highlights of Ibiza include olive, almond and fig groves, salt lakes, pine forests and many historic buildings and attractions.
