Boasting a rich and varied cultural history is island of Menorca. Spain’s Mediterranean secret island paradise is usually overlooked for its bigger and busier neighbour Mallorca. But Menorca is where some of Europe’s earliest prehistoric remains live. It is also where Spain’s second largest fiesta take place. A truly great way to enjoy this Balearic Island is by car hire in Menorca - Port De Ciudadella.
Held in the former capital city under British rule, Ciudadela, the Sant Joan festivities is celebrated every summer. Focusing on the Menorcan horse and rider, every town on this little island honours their special saint in their own unique way too. With a cheap car hire in Menorca - Port De Ciudadella, stopover and visit these villages for their celebrations while enjoying the island’s diverse scenery.
Other festivals include Saint Antonys Day celebrated on 17th January in special honour of Menorca’s Patron Saint. But in July, check out the Festival of Carmen when all vessels ship out to bless the surrounding blue seas.
History enthusiasts will want to visit the Municipal Museum of Ciutadella for artefacts from the island’s first settlers. The Diocese Museum displays paintings from present day contemporary art along to archaeological finds.
But a visit to Menorca wouldn’t be complete without visiting the beaches like the north coast’s most beautiful Cala Pregonda or the largest beach at Son Bou. Car rental in Menorca - Port De Ciudadella is the best way of avoiding the public bus routes and schedules, giving you complete access to go where and when you’d like.
