Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic islands and is smaller and quieter than its neighbour Mallorca. Situated just 34 km / 21 miles from Mallorca, the island of Menorca has many family-friendly resorts and almost as many beaches as Mallorca and Ibiza combined. Peaceful holiday resorts line the south coast of Menorca and sleepy fishing villages are dotted along Menorca's rockier northern shore.

Largely protected from development, Menorca is a real haven for nature-lovers. Menorca is a very green island, with pinewoods and many fields for the island's 25,000 grazing cattle. Cycling tracks criss-cross the meadows and scrublands, offering some spectacular views of the island and the seafront. The north coast of Menorca is rocky and rough, whilst in contrast, the south coast of Menorca is full of sandy coves, with fine, golden sand, sheltered by cliffs.

The oldest and largest towns in Menorca are Mao, the walled capital of Menorca, which is situated at the end of an enormous natural harbour, and Ciutadella, Menorca's ancient capital at the opposite end of the island. Mao is a particularly busy port and has many impressive architectural features, whilst Ciutadella is a more graceful town, full of winding streets and old buildings, including several churches.

The island has a truly Mediterranean climate, and averages 315 days of sunshine a year. The average summer high temperature is around 30º, although this often rises in the middle of August. The humidity is usually about 70-77% even in the winter and is still mild and often sunny.
