The guided tour around this castle ruin takes a couple of hours, but it's one of the most interesting and detailed tours on the island.

Museo Fort Malborough (2.1 km) - show on map

Built by the British in the late 18th century and named after Sir John Churchill, the Duke of Malborough. Now open as a museum, this fascinating seven-sided building was subject to many attacks but amazingly was never destroyed. Guided tours last for approximately 1 hour.

Mahon Harbour (2.7 km) - show on map

One of the most impressive natural harbours in the Mediterranean, stretching 5km inland. The harbour front is lined with restaurants, bars and boutiques and has becoming an increasingly sophisticated setting helped by the boating fraternity.

Museu de Menorca (3.1 km) - show on map

Menorca's largest museum includes details of the islands archaeological past, plus the biggest collection of fine arts on the island. Situated in a former monastery, the building is worth a visit on its own.

Trotting races (3.7 km) - show on map

A popular sport in the Balearics for over 200 years, trotting races are held at weekends both near Mahon and Ciutadella. The jockey must prevent the horse from breaking into a gallop, hence the name "trotting". Great to watch but even better if you place the winning bet!

Es Moli de Dalt (4.5 km) - show on map

This fully restored windmill dominates the skyline of Sant Lluis - open to the public.

Cala Alcaufar (5.8 km) - show on map

This small inlet is popular for its close proximity to s'Algar. Great for small kids but be prepared to go to Punta Prima instead when space gets limited.

Punta Prima (7.6 km) - show on map

Lying on the southeastern-most point of the island, Punta Prima is one of Menorca's largest beaches. Watersports are abundant here, with windsurfing and sailing equipment available for hire or pedaloes from the beach. Currents can be difficult at certain times so take note of the flags - swimming is advised only when a green flag flies. Food and refreshments are available and road access is good.

Es Grau National Park (7.9 km) - show on map

National park and biosphere reserve designed to protect the ecosystem and wildlife within. Peace, tranquility - a mecca for walkers and bird spotters.

Poblat de Pescadors (8.5 km) - show on map

This development was built to resemble a traditional "fishing village". The design is 100% artificial but the maze of narrow streets, whitewashed dwellings and Moorish arches are authentically Menorcan.

It has divided opinion on the island but is highly popular with tourists.

Binibèquer Beach (8.5 km) - show on map

A small beach in a lovely cove. The beach is well serviced with sunloungers for hire and shallow waters ideal for children. There is also an interesting beach bar that famously claims to be the only place in Menorca where you can drink with your feet in the sea.
