In Menorca, each village is a heartbeat of the island, a place where traditions are lived, stories are told and life is felt with intensity. Discover those corners full of magic, authentic people and landscapes that will make you fall in love again and again.
Maó (Mahón)
Mahón, the capital of Menorca, surprises with its imposing natural harbor -one of the largest in the Mediterranean- and a mixture of history, colonial architecture and local life. Its elevated streets offer views of the sea, while the Mercado del Claustro del Carmen or the Xoriguer distillery reflect its authentic essence. A stroll among squares, Georgian buildings and viewpoints makes Mahón an essential stop for those who want to understand the soul of the island.
Ciutadella
Ciutadella is a jewel of living stone. Its cobbled streets and stately palaces tell stories of medieval guilds, feudal nobility and battles against pirates. The cathedral, the lively squares and the small port full of gastronomy make the city an essential stop. Every June 23, its traditions are reborn with the Fiestas de Sant Joan, where the Menorcan horse gallops amidst history, emotion and local pride.
Alaior
Alaior is defined as an industrial, university and creative city. Home to the UIB in Menorca, it combines tradition and youthful dynamism. Its cheese and pastry history - with legacies such as La Menorquina ice cream - coexists with corners full of charm, such as the Pati de Sa Lluna or the church of Santa Eulàlia with its orange tree courtyard. A town that smells of oven, culture and youth.
Es Mercadal
In the heart of Menorca, Es Mercadal grows between tradition and connection. This charming white village, at the foot of Monte Toro, offers the best mix of authentic Menorcan cuisine and gastronomic innovation. Its strategic location makes it the ideal spot to explore every corner of the island.
Ferreries
Ferreries is the meeting point between artisanal and modern Menorca. Among its quiet streets still echoes the echo of the sewing machines of the leather craftsmen, who today create designer shoes exported worldwide. Visit its stores and buy some traditional sandals is an ideal plan after a day at the beach.
Although Ferreries is inland, its municipal district includes one of the most beautiful coasts: Cala Galdana, famous for its imposing white cliff and its small bay, considered by many the most beautiful beach in Menorca.
Es Migjorn Gran
Es Migjorn Gran is the youngest municipality in Menorca, separated from Es Mercadal in 1989, but maintains a strong sense of community. Known for its quiet and rural atmosphere, it is ideal for those looking to disconnect and enjoy nature. Strolling through its streets and rural roads offers the opportunity to discover the authentic essence of Menorca.
For beach lovers, there are three highly recommended coves: San Adeodato, Santo Tomás and Binigaus, perfect for swimming in crystal clear waters and relaxing away from the crowds.
Es Castell
Located on the shore of the largest natural harbor in the Mediterranean, Es Castell retains a lively and hospitable atmosphere, a reflection of its port tradition. From its viewpoints you can admire the imposing fortress of La Mola, which guards the north coast of the port, as well as the islets of the island of Rei and Llatzaret, which take on a special magic at dusk.
Sant Lluís
Sant Lluís, whose name means "Upstream Mill", preserves its essence in the Molí de Dalt, today an ethnological museum and local information point. In the heart of this white village, Sa Creu square stands out for its simple and cozy design, where the parish church and the town hall are located. This square is the epicenter of markets, concerts and events throughout the year.
But the real charm of Sant Lluís lies in its coastal villages and beaches of white sand and turquoise waters, such as Punta Prima, Binisafúller, Binibeca and Binidalí, which offer a perfect refuge for those seeking tranquility and natural beauty.
Fornells
Menorca gave its fishermen a perfect bay to take refuge from the north coast. Fornells, a charming fishing village, conquers with its whitewashed streets and a promenade full of restaurants. The traditional lobster stew, fished a few meters from the port, is a delight that no one should miss.
The bay, part of the marine reserve of Menorca, offers multiple nautical activities: diving, sailing and kayak routes to discover its natural beauty from the sea.
Llucma¢anes
It is a small village in the heart of Menorca where the traditional houses of all life coexist with the country houses restored by new neighbors, many foreigners who came in search of Mediterranean light and tranquility. Its people, hospitable and proud, organize every year the famous festivities of Sant Gaietà, where the horse-riding tradition and the giants ("gegants") -the most numerous in the Balearic Islands- are the protagonists and fill the streets with joy and culture.
Menorca is not just an island, it is a mosaic of villages full of history, tradition and life. Each corner offers a world to discover, an encounter with its people, its culture and its Mediterranean soul. Come and let yourself be carried away by the charm of its streets, the warmth of its people and the magic of its landscapes. Your adventure in Menorca starts here.
