Menorca has been granted an international seal of recognition on being declared a Biosphere Reserve under auspices of UNESCO, which, in this manner has awarded and encouraged the island’s zeal for the conservation of such a privileged environment.

The island is divided into two regions. The first, the north is the most rugged. Here we find beaches of reddish sand and landscapes of great beauty. The second region situated in the south, has a much gentler relief, with a coastline of cliffs, gullies covered in pine trees, and coves of golden sand.

Menorcan cuisine is firmly rooted in its history by it. As well as the excellent seafood, be sure to try the local pastries, spicy sausages, puddings, the famous Mahon cheese and local gin.

It is easy to see why discerning holidaymakers are attracted to the unspoilt island of Menorca.
