Menorca is the Balearic island furthest from mass tourism and the one that has best preserved its coastline and inland landscape. Declared a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in 1993, the island applies a land-use policy that has kept much of the coast free of development. The result is a string of white-sand coves with turquoise water, many of them reachable only on foot or by kayak, which make Menorca one of the most highly rated destinations in the Mediterranean for those seeking nature without giving up comfort.
The supply of regulated campsites in Menorca is small, in keeping with the island's philosophy of land protection. Wild camping is prohibited in natural areas, and the regulations are strict. The authorised campsites are few but well located, and can be used as a base for getting around the island by bike, on foot or by car. The most famous coves, such as Macarella, Cala en Turqueta, Pregonda and Cala Mitjana, require you in high season to arrive early or to use the transport services provided to reduce the impact on the environment.
The Camí de Cavalls is the axis around which active tourism in Menorca is organised. This historic 185-kilometre path that rings the whole island was used for centuries for coastal surveillance and is today one of the most complete hiking routes in Spain. It can be walked over several days, combining stages with stays at campsites, or divided into short out-and-back sections from a single base. Mountain biking is another excellent option for stretches of the interior or the north coast.
The Menorcan interior deserves attention in its own right. Talayots, taulas and navetas are prehistoric monuments of the Talayotic culture that are scattered across the island: the Naveta des Tudons, the Taula de Torralba d'en Salort and the settlement of Torre d'en Galmés are essential stops for anyone interested in ancient history. The dry-stone walls, livestock farms and country lanes give the interior a calm and authentic character that contrasts with the lively coastal atmosphere.
Ciutadella and Mahón are the two ends of the island and also its two main towns. Ciutadella, with its Gothic cathedral, its natural harbour squeezed between rocks and its cobbled streets full of restaurants, is the historic capital. Mahón, seat of the island government, has one of the largest natural harbours in the Mediterranean, with a narrow mouth that opens onto a calm anchorage where boats from all over the world drop anchor. The Menorcan lobster stew, the aged Mahón cheese with designation of origin and Mahón gin, a legacy of the British occupation, are the island's great gastronomic landmarks.
