Flights to Menorca Minorca

Sandy beaches and a temperate climate are what draw the majority of tourists to the Balearic Island of Menorca. This small Spanish island that spans no longer that 35 miles (50 km) and barely 10 miles (15 km) wide is a burst of natural wonders set in the Mediterranean Sea. Colorful wildflowers brighten the fields in spring while a variety of butterflies can be found throughout the spring and summer.

Bird watchers know of the great number of migrating birds that make their passage through Menorca. You can easily spot a Booted eagle, Egyptian vulture, or, in the summer months, Bee-eaters and Balearic Shearwaters. Look out for lizards, in particular the Italian Wall Lizard and two species of Gecko.

For those seeking a bit of sightseeing, exquisite basilicas and monuments that date back to the 1700s will enchant you. Architectural samples of the British military can be seen at Fort Marlboro. The island's capital of Mao is alive with fiestas and fairs and a visit here isn't complete without a glimpse of the natural harbour. More history can be found in Ciutadella, the island's capital until the Turk's attack in the 1600s.

Take a journey through prehistoric times at one of the archaeological site or venture out to the beach and come upon caves, coves and tempting blue seas. The Minorcan countryside is breathtaking and can lead you to the Martello Tower overlooking the sea, Talati de Dalt with fascinating archaeological finds, or the holiday resort of Gala Galdana.
