A Menorca Villa Holiday Provides Endless Choices for Outings
With great weather, protected beaches, and ancient cities to discover,
you certainly won¡¯t be short of things to do and see when you book a
Menorca villa.
(firmenpresse) - Menorca is a truly lovely holiday destination. It offers the perfect combination of great
weather, wonderful protected beaches, historical cities and cultural attractions.
With so much to see and do in a holiday destination, it can sometimes be hard to decide
what you want and to prioritise for your itinerary. This article will talk you through some of the
must-see options so you can get the most out of your trip. That is, if you can drag yourself
away from your Menorca villa!
The Port of Mahon
In the capital, Mahon, lies one of the world¡¯s biggest natural harbours. Stretching 5km, this
strategic dock area was once defended by the Marlborough and La Mola fortresses. Today,
cruise ships, yachts, and sailing boats anchor here under the old city walls; the fortresses
and their underground passages have been transformed from siege defences into interactive
museums; and the area absolutely buzzes with friendly restaurants and shops.
Cami de Cavalls
No matter where your Menorca villa is located, the Cami de Cavalls (the Path of Horses) will
be within reach. This defensive path dates back to the 14th century and runs around the
entire 125-mile circumference of the island. While cycling, walking or horseback riding along
these restored medieval tracks, you¡¯ll encounter stunning views, breath-taking beaches, and,
of course, fabulous flora and fauna.
Talayotic Sites
The remnants of talayotic settlements¡ªwhich date back to around 2000BC¡ªcan be found
across the island, which boasts the largest collection of megalithic monuments in the
Mediterranean.
The ancient highlights to discover include:
¡ñ Taulas: T-shaped altars made of two huge stone slabs. The oldest of these date
back to around 500BC.
¡ñ Navetas: megalithic burial chambers unique to this Balearic island.
¡ñ Talayots: these stone monuments are largely thought to have a defensive purpose,
as they form a network which is believed to act as a system of watchtowers or
lookouts.
Some of the best and most important sites are Torralba d¡¯en Salort, Torre d¡¯en Gaum¨¦s,
Talat¨ª de Dalt, and Naveta d¡¯es Tudons.
Fav¨¤ritx Lighthouse
Atop the cliffs of the S¡¯Albufera des Grau Natural Park stands the Fav¨¤ritx Lighthouse. The
lighthouse area promises spectacular views over the pristine, rocky coastline. Birdwatchers
in particular flock here during the spring and autumn in order to catch a glimpse of any
number of species of rare migratory bird passing through the island.
Where to Stay
More and more people are opting to rent a Menorca villa for the duration of their stay, and
it¡¯s easy to see why.
Having the use of a kitchen is a huge plus. Not only does it grant you the flexibility of self-
catering (thereby saving you money), but there¡¯s no nicer way to start the day than by sitting
outside on the balcony, digging into a bowl of cereal as the sun rises in Menorca.
Villas here usually come with a private pool, too, so you can splash around with the kids if
you¡¯re travelling as a family, have a romantic night in if you¡¯re in a couple, or simply kick
back and bob around for an evening swim.
As you can see, when you book a Menorca villa, you certainly won¡¯t be short of things to do.
