- Intimate coves, coves of golden sand, moors of wild flowers or fragrant pine forests, gorges with lush vegetation… Menorca, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993, is the natural island par excellence.
• Also, visits to Maó and Ciutadella, the two main towns of the island, which occupy its eastern and western ends. In Maó, the military and architectural heritage left by the British. In Ciutadella, the elegance of Spanish palaces and Baroque facades.
- At the gates of the two cities, we set off to discover the two sides of Menorca: the wild north, the more seaside south. Travel back in time too, to prehistory, with the Talayotic civilization specific to the Balearic Islands and whose vestiges abound in the Menorcan countryside.
• A hundred addresses of restaurants, bars, authentic shops and accommodation with character , all tested, to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the island.
• Unforgettable experiences : yoga session in an old stone quarry or favorite sunset of the Minorcans, accompanied diving in a marine reserve or paragliding flight from the highest point of the island, excursion to Maó to an island dedicated to contemporary art or street art stroll in Ciutadella…
• A selection of activities and nature outings to vary the pleasures: ornithological walk in the salt flats; route on the old road of the kings, which linked Maó to Ciutadella; hiking on the Camí de Cavalls, a sometimes narrow and steep path that runs along the perimeter of the island – on foot, to reach the beaches of the south, or mounted on a horse (minorquin obviously)…
• The favorites and the "tops" of our author, Catalan by adoption and fascinated by the Balearic Islands: her favorite beaches and secret coves, her best places to taste a caldereta de langosta (lobster stew) or buy the famous Maó cheese…
• Plans of towns and maps of the island with all the addresses positioned.
