Menorca Berlitz Pocket Guide

The Menorca Berlitz Pocket Guide is a concise, full-colour travel guide that combines lively text with vivid photography to highlight the very best that this sun-kissed island has to offer.

Menorca (Minorca) is one of Spain’s Balearic islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Traditionally more low-key than its neighbors, Mallorca (Majorca) and Ibiza, it is known for its endless beaches, from miles-long sandy crescents to rocky, turquoise-watered bays called “calas.” Pine trees fringe the coast.  The capital, Mahon, is on a bluff overlooking a large harbor, with Georgian mansions and a church with 13th-century roots.

Inside:

• The Where-To-Go chapter details all the key sights: from picturesque towns like Ciutadella, Fornells and Binibibeca Vells, to graceful churches and a fabulous choice of stunning, family-friendly beaches.
• To inspire you, the book offers a rundown of the Top 10 Attractions in the island, followed by an itinerary for a Perfect Day in Mao.
• The What-to-Do chapter is a snapshot of ways to spend your sparetime: the best places to shop for leather abarca sandals, the myriad of hiking possibilities as well as the best beaches for watersports.

You’ll also be armed with background information, including a brief history of the island and an Eating Out chapter covering its delectable cuisine.  There are carefully chosen listings of the best hotels and restaurants, and an A-Z section to equip you with all the practical information you will need.
