THE HARBOUR OF MAÓ- Feeling a fresh atmosphere

Menorca is the second biggest island in the Balearics. This peaceful and attractive bit of land can offer you a relaxing place to rest. I’d like to emphasize the picturesque Harbour of Maó, which is really successful due to its natural length. Moreover, our port is located in Maó, which makes it easier to be visited.

Firstly, when you look at your surroundings, you can feel a historical atmosphere, because Menorca was the perfect place for pirates to get power or to be the owners of the Mediterranean. Furthermore, during the summer holidays, our harbour is usually used so as to carry out some exciting activities like sailing small boats, which are called optimist.

Finally, if you walk along the seafront, on one side you will see the dark blue sea, where, frequently, quite big ships moor and on the other side, there is plenty of whatever you want to find, well-known restaurants, busy bars at nights, lively pubs, little businesses, etc. I should say that what I love most are the tasty ice-creams, which are made of several flavours by Italian experts.

For this reason, if you are looking for huge cities, this is not your suitable place; but, who wants big places if you can enjoy yourself in a place like this! you will not only fall in love with it, but you will also look forward to coming back. That’s for sure!
