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.
