The Menorca region
MINORCA, second largest of the Balearic Islands, and the most easterly part of Spain, has an individuality and history that set it apart from other members of the group. The key to its character lies in its deep and sheltered harbour, Port Mahon, one of the finest in Europe, which brought it into contact with many of the ancient Mediterranean civilisations. With its roots in the Eastern Mediterranean (its unique megalithic buildings have affinities with Egypt and Crete), it did not become Spanish until the fourteenth century. In the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries-again because of its port Britain, France and America formed strong links with the island, from which Minorcans once again experienced new ways of life. Visitors come to enjoy its sunshine and its 120 superb beaches, at some of which one can still be alone. The island is one of unusual charm, and remains unsophisticated and free from the tensions of modern life. La isla blanca y azul (the white and blue island) Minorcans like to call it, referring to its trim white houses and turquoise sea. The contrasts of light and colour in sea, land and sky-at times as vivid and dazzling as a stage-set captivate artists, and can induce a sense of complete relaxation, even of unreality. Silences can be profound, broken only by the sound of distant waves lashing against rocks, or of a human voice carried on the wind. [MINORCA by David Wilson Taylor]
Mahon-cala Llonga / Mahon area
The city of Maó has a millennial history that saw its origins in a headland on the southern side of the port. The first population centres occupy a small area surrounded by the cliffs of the port and the ravines of Baixamar, del Freginal and La Clota. During the Middle Ages, Maó was a walled city that suffered variations until with time it began to extend beyond its boundaries. A stroll trough the streets of Maó give us an insight into the rich legacy of history accumulated over the centuries. The different architectural features and monuments of the city reveal traces of the various nations that have passed through the island.
