The making of Menorca is its abundance of beautiful beaches with the coastline ranging from pristine coves to long, sandy beaches separated by rocky headlands. Inland Menorca is rural with a restful scenery of rolling fields and wooded slopes. Fiercely protective of its natural beauty and fully aware of the potentially damaging consequences of mass tourism,Menorca has clearly demarcated most of its holiday areas. Resort villages are dotted around the coast and characteristically amount to just a small selection of hotels and self-catering apartments, with enough quality shops,bars and restaurants to provide fully for visitors. As such the resorts are safe,modern and sympathetically designed to complement the surroundings. A proud island,Menorca is clean and uncluttered, with an excellent climate - qualities which promote a sense of space and well being for everyone. |
