CargandoCargandoMenorca es la Baleares tranquila. Sus calas de agua transparente, el Camí de Cavalls, que da la vuelta a la isla, y pueblos como Ciutadella y Maó hacen que el viaje vaya a otro ritmo. Es Reserva de la Biosfera, y se nota: a muchas calas solo se llega andando.
Menorca in one dayThe island is also prehistory, lighthouses and villages: a three-thousand-year-old tomb, the viewpoint that shows you everything, the gin harbour and the white village in the south.1 day· 4 stops
Menorca in three daysA day of southern coves, a day of the strange north and the lighthouse, and a third for the two towns. Car on the road early, and a siesta when the sun is at its worst.3 days· 9 stops
Menorca in 5 days, both endsCiutadella and the Naveta des Tudons on day one, five kilometres away and among the oldest standing structures in Europe. Then the southern coves, Turqueta and Macarella; Mahón and Binibeca at the other end; the Favàritx lighthouse and Monte Toro, which at 358 m is the island's highest point and shows you all of it; and the last day walking a stretch of the Camí de Cavalls.5 days· 9 stops

Cala Macarella💡Lobster stew costs what it costs, and there are alternatives
It's the island's dish and it runs to sixty euros a head in Fornells. If that doesn't fit the budget, order a local rice dish or the fish of the day: same kitchen, a third of the price.
💡Without a car you miss half the island, and you book it in January
The southern coves sit at the end of dirt tracks and the bus only reaches the big beaches. In July and August cars sell out months ahead and prices triple: book as soon as you have the flight.
💡When the tramontana blows, switch coasts
The north wind can whip up waves and sand on the northern beaches and leave the south like a swimming pool. Check the wind direction in the morning and decide then; the island is small enough to cross in forty minutes.
💡Get to the good coves before nine or after five
In summer the car parks fill by mid-morning and then a barrier closes the access road. The other option is to leave the car wherever you can and walk in along the Camí de Cavalls.
💡May, June and September are the island; July and August are something else
Outside high season the water is already warm, the coves are empty and everything costs half. In winter half of Menorca shuts, so October is the last month that really works.
