The island of Menorca is the island located furthest east of the Spanish mainland, it ends the chain of the Balearic Islands. A beautiful place as an ideal setting for an exotic holiday in one of the beautiful holiday homes that Villas du Monde offers you, wild, somewhat austere, almost entirely covered by wild olive trees, bathed on all sides by the Mediterranean, sumptuous caves cut out of the rock, numerous sandy beaches accessible by forest roads. Wherever you are on the island, you will be just a few steps from a beach, often with fine sand, a cove of pebbles sheltered by the rocks, away from the crowds.
Menorca is not comparable to any of the other Balearic islands, it is a more Anglo-Saxon island where time seems to have stopped on the beautiful monuments, the streets of Mahon, the current capital and its marina port filled with beautiful sailing boats, the ancient capital of Ciutadella, sumptuous and charming, the bay of Fornells, the towns of Es Migjorn, Alayor and Ferrerias... Finally, you will appreciate the almost total absence of modern buildings linked to mass tourism.
Following a rigorous urban planning regime, you will be surprised by the virtual absence of high constructions, only roofs of tiles sometimes painted in white emerge in the fields of olive trees, drowned in the vegetation. A universe of silence crossed by small roads, all lined with walls of dry stones.
Fincas restored, modern villas with clean design, village houses, a diverse habitat, singular peace, for a relaxing holiday, sheltered from the world on this islet that is modest in size, 40 km by 20 km wide.
It is no longer hedges or barriers that mark the land of but the dry stone walls surmounted by a white headband, ubiquitous, they are no longer aggressive portals that close the paths of Fincas but open gates of open interlacing wood.
A small part of land lost between sky, sun and sea, still accessible by plane to Mahon airport, by boat mainly from Barcelona which serves both ends of the island, Mahon and Ciutadella, 4 hours crossing at the fastest. An island to discover.
For the record, Menorca belonged to France a few years before being exchanged with the British against Belle Island in 1763, taken over by the French it was not until 1803 that it became definitely Spanish.
