Food and drink

With so much fresh seafood, it is little wonder Menorca boasts tasty traditional delicacies. Try garlic prawns, squid and mouth-watering paella, or head to Fornells, where King Juan Carlos I of Spain is said to dine on its famous lobster stew. Mayonnaise originates from the island's capital, Mahon, where you can also quench your thirst with gin made from juniper berries in the Xoriguer Distillery, made since the 18th century as a response to the pleas of the British servicemen then stationed on the island.

Evening Flavour

Quieter than other Balearic islands, Menorca offers many unique nightlife venues including Cala'n Porter's cave disco, but Menorca's balmy evenings are best spent in pavement cafes and bars. Get into the party spirit as summer fiestas sweep the island's towns, igniting the streets with dazzling colours, lively music, crackling fireworks and bustling parades.

Shopping

Find traditional leather and pottery in Menorca's markets, browsing the stalls of Mahon's spectacular 18th century convent and finding bargains in the weekly craft market in Ferreries, the island's highest town. Mahon and Ciudadela offer excellent shopping.
