Five special places in Menorca (II)

The Port of Mahón is considered the largest natural harbour in the Mediterranean and the second largest in the world after Pearl Harbour. Arriving in Menorca by boat affords an indescribable beauty for any sailor.

Close to the Port of Mahón, in Cala Sant Esteve, is the Malborough Fort. It is one of the symbols of British Menorca and was an enclave during the fight between Spain, Great Britain and France to dominate Menorca as a strategic point in the Mediterranean.

The Cova d’enXoroi is a natural cave 25 metres above the sea, now turned into a leisure spot from where you can see the magnificent sunsets of Menorca.

The village of Binibeca de Sant Lluís is a small fishing village facing the sea, one of Menorca’s postcard settings with its own character where you can just relax away a  whole afternoon.

The seven lighthouses that surround Menorca to warn sailors of its coastline are regular points of pilgrimage. And when the strength of the wind shapes the waves in winter, a grand spectacle is assured.
