Minorca (Island)

Outings on foot, by bike or on horseback, on the marked trails and routes, are a good way to get to know these beautiful surroundings. Most outstanding is the S'Albufera d'Es Grau Nature Reserve, a refuge for many aquatic and migratory birds, which is also one of southern Europe's most important wetland areas..Another of Minorca's attractions is its archaeological and cultural heritage. Discover interesting monumental sites such as the historic old town of Ciudadela, prehistoric remains like the Naveta des Tudons Megalithic site, other prehistoric sites such as those at Mahón, and even small fishing villages that still conserve their ancient traditions.Hiring a car is a good way to explore the island - the longest distance between two points is 47 kilometres. You can get to Minorca by air, to its international airport, five kilometres from the capital, Mahón, or also by sea, to the ports at Mahón and Ciudadela.
