The Menorca region

* Menorca is often referred to as the jewel of the Balearic Islands and it is certainly easy to see why.
* Visit once you won’t need to consider another place for next year’s holiday.
* Menorca is by far the destination for those seeking a more relaxing or family orientated holiday than you might find on its larger sister island, Majorca, but without compromising the fun and entertainment that is there to be had.

Here is a little history and a few facts:
* Menorca from Latin Balearis Minor, is one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea and belongs to Spain. It takes its name from being smaller than nearby island of Majorca.
* Menorca has a population of approximately 82,000.
* It is located around 39°47' to 40°00'N, 3°52' to 4°24'E.
* Its highest point, called Monte Toro, is 358 m/1174 ft above sea level.
* Steeped in a history of prehistoric monuments and the worlds second deepest natural harbour in Mahon, the result of French and English rule can be seen in the architecture and local drink, gin.
* Boat trips, bus tours or self drive discoveries are a must to truly see what the island has to offer.
* Local fiestas are fun and exciting times for all the family and can be seen throughout June to September with dancing horses, (horses are a Menorquin passion), parades, singing, dancing and fireworks.
* Menorca is famous for its beaches with over 120 of them which are more than the rest of the Balearic Islands put together.

Weather

Average temperatures are:
* High Season: 85 F

Cala'n Porter area

Cala’n Porter is one of the largest and most established resorts in Menorca, situated on the south coast on top of amazing cliffs and a large horseshoe shaped cove beach with the sand sloping gently into the sea making it perfect for young children to paddle and play.

* Accessible by car, bus, bike or even for a day trip by boat it is the ideal destination for holidaymakers.
* The resort offers a wide choice of shops, bars and restaurants that offer everything from trinkets, clothing, and local cuisines to a typically English meal.
* The supermarkets are always well stocked and offer a variety of both English and local cuisine and with the local chemist and hairdressers everything you need is on hand.
* By day you can hire a car and discover the rest of the island, go on a guided tour and let someone else do the driving, just sit back and relax by the pool or at the beach or run off some of the kid’s energy on the trampolines, bouncy castle or at the go cart circuit.
* During the evening you have a choice to chill out at your apartment which is located in such a place that it still remains peaceful or dance the night away.
* With a great selection of evening entertainment ranging from top of the crop live cabaret, karaoke, bingo, a game of pool, a boogie at the famous “Xoroi” caves nightclub or just a few drinks in a quiet bar.
* Whatever you are looking for in your holiday, Cala’n Porter is the place to find it.

The Beach

* Accessible by foot down 181 steps, the sloping pavement or by using the land train that runs every 45 minutes the beach is ideal for children who like to paddle and those who prefer to spend the day building sand castles. * The cliff edges that shape the beach into its horseshoe layout are perfect hideouts for fish meaning that a snorkel is a must have but if you don’t have one yet then don’t panic.
* Not only is there a shop selling swimwear, gifts, inflatables, snorkels and fishing nets but also restaurants and bars where you can get water, ice-cream, lunch, glass of wine or a beer. So once you are down at the beach there is no need to go back up again until you are done for the day.
* Sun loungers and umbrellas are available for hire as are pedalos that have a slide on them for added amusement.

A few recommendations:

* Club Menorca - The cliff top restaurant with stunning views of the cove beach and out to sea.
* Sa Païssa – For a meal and then top quality entertainment around the pool with a different act every night.
* Cova den Xoroi – Set high into the cliffs themselves the caves are open to tourists by day and to watch the majestic sun setting over the sea and then becomes a famous nightclub come evening with foam parties and more. Take a look at the website for photos that will take your breath away: www.covadenxoroi.com. (A good 20 minute walk from the apartment so don’t worry about noise.)
* Flava Bar – The only place in Cala’n Porter to get a real Doner Kebab! Also a bar that opens till late.
* Visiting in September - The Cala’n Porter fiesta is held the second weekend of September every year, with dancing horses, parades, fireworks and more.

* There is an information pack provided at the apartment with further details of entertainment and places of interest.
