Mahon, Menorca
The second of Spain's four Balearic islands, Menorca has an engaging charm perfectly embodied in the easily-explored capital of Mahon with its attractive shops, outdoor market and the traditional buildings of its hilly old quarter.
Here you will find one of Europe's best natural harbours - where the 18th century British Mediterranean fleet sheltered when Menorca was ruled from London (Admiral Nelson's visits are commemorated still by the local Nelson gin!).
