Menorca I The island next door
Earlier this year our team spent few days in Menorca, our neighbor island.
Menorca really is a boho little slice of paradise, with so much magic and beautiful landscape that invite to take road trips and discover all its beauty.
Ilona knows Menorca like a local, so that we got lucky to discover the best places to eat, wander, and the most epic sceneries. It was a fun work/holiday trip!
We thought you’d like to discover a bit more about Menorca, so we shared this little weekend travel guide with you.
We rent a car with Click and Rent at the airport (extremely smooth process, and so recommended to make the most of your time on this little island) and stayed at a little apartment close to Mahon Port.
This was the perfect location for us to explore Mahon and the surroundings.
Also, as we spent our days wandering and exploring, being able to cook nourishing healthy dinners was so nice!
The weather was freezing, so that evening vinos & chats in the cozy living room felt like the perfect plan.
Here go our tips for a fun little weekend trip
WHERE TO EAT:
Mercat del Pescado in Mahon Port for fantastic seafood
El hogar del pollo en Ciutadella for tapas and vino
BEAUTIFUL BEACHES:
The weather was quite windy and cold but we managed to have a little swim.
