Anyone know anything about Minorca?

As mentioned in the other thread, I'm going to Minorca on Saturday. Please tell me what to do/see!

Cheers

If you have the car you are going to have a great time. Menorca is full of tiny 'calas', the perfect-blue bays that can only be reached by car and then a bit of a walk. The thing to do is to ask at the tourist office when you get there about where the nicest ones are - in Ibiza and Formentera they were really helpful in that respect - you should get a map pointing you to the best places. Lucky you! If it was me I would get some snorkelling gear too and take little bits of bread out to feed the fishes

Have you been to Menorca? (I wasn't sure if it was Minorca or Menorca) I'm counting down the days until I go. I hear Menorca is nowhere near as Mallorca in terms of crowds and tourists, but I still expect to see a few Blackpools abroad.

I'll definitely be going to the calas. I've heard about them from someone else too. One thing I love about Fuerteventura is that you can have a mile of beach to yourself. Is Menorca the same in that respect?

I've never been no, but I think the Calas will be similar to those I saw in Mallorca. They aren't miles long, but if you try to get to the most off-the-beaten-track ones you should find tranquility. Tip: ask the tourist office lady which the nudist beaches are - nudists always have the best taste in out of the way places

Furteventura was brilliant for that. There are hundred of beaches on that island, and only 2 of them are NOT nuddy ones

. . . until I saw "Big Bertha"

I've never been to Menorca, but I've heard that it is the best of the islands and the less crowded. Enjoy your holidays!!!
