Ferreries

At 150m above sea level, Ferreries is the highest town in Menorca sited next to the island's second highest mountain S'Enclusa. This sleepy town is typically Menorcean and is known primarily for shoe and furniture manufacture, some of which is available from factory shops along the main road. The farmers' market held each Tuesday and Friday is also ideal for picking up authentic local produce.

Although not an obvious tourist destination, the opening of the Museu de la Natura makes this a nautal centre for rural tourism. In the heart of Menorcan countryside, Ferreries is the ideal starting point for walking holidays or tranquil stays.

If you are nearby, Ferreries holds its annual fiesta in honour of St Bartholomew on 23rd-25th August. Visitors are welcome.

Tourist attractions near Ferreries (4)

Club Escola Menorquina (6.3 km) - show on map

Riders at this equestrian show perform on traditional Andalucian horses that are specially trained the Menorcan way. The result is a truly magnificent performance showing the connection between man and beast.

A highly entertaining and fun evening out, the show can be seen on Wednesdays and Sundays at 8.30pm

Cala Santa Galdana (6.7 km) - show on map

This is probably one of the best places for a natural balance of tourism with ecology. Santa Galdana is a large resort, with all the beach facilities, watersports and family fun you would expect. However its unique situation also makes this a great place for long, peaceful walks leading to other beaches up and down the coast. There is something for everyone here.

Cala Pregonda (8.6 km) - show on map

This is without doubt one of the jewels of Menorca, a beautiful bay with crisp light sand, crystal blue waters, backed by pine and tamarisk woods. A few villas dot the cove (built before tough restrictions were introduced) but this is an otherwise totally unspoilt bay. There is a downside: access to Cala Pregonda is limited, the best route being the road from Binimel-l�. For those who make the effort, the reward is well deserved!

Monte Toro (8.7 km) - show on map

Monte Toro is situated on Menorca's highest point in Es Mercadal, rising 352 metres. A convent on top of the peak is home to Franciscan nuns who open their doors to the public from the first Sunday in May. Read more »
