• Malaga. This is the best luxury resort in Spain (and among the top 10 in Europe)

  • Summer: five charming hotels to enjoy Ibiza zen

Menorca is the island of a thousand possibilities.

Its turquoise waters encourage you to take infinite baths and

get on a sailboat

, but there is much more.

From nature in its purest form to go on a

jeep safari

to free tours of Ciudadela or Mahón or night sessions looking at the stars.

Here are five proposals that should not be missed this summer on the Balearic island.

Free tour of Mahón

The

capital of Menorca,

Mahón, with its nearly 28,000 inhabitants, is considered one of the best natural harbors in the world. To get to know it well, you can sign up for a

free tour.

Those who do it only have to pay at the end the amount that they consider appropriate depending on the quality of the guide, the route, what they have learned ... The journey that we propose begins at the intersection of

Plaça de s'Esplanada

with Avenida de Josep Anselm Clavé. From there you will follow the steps to discover the vestiges that the British Crown left in the city in its wake, with stops at the headquarters of the Count of Cifuentes and Cala Corb, the

Claustro del Carmen market

, the Governor's palace or the Museum of Menorca. . Price: free. You can book here.

Jeep safari through unknown Menorca

Whoever wants to know the most authentic Menorca can do so through this

4x4 route

visiting charming towns and photo coves.

The itinerary runs through

private country roads

hidden from most tourists.

In this way, the interior of the island is discovered with free time to bathe in hidden coves.

There is also a stop at a

Menorcan horse

farm

.

There is also no lack of opportunities to admire impressive cliffs and ravines.

Price for a six-hour tour with pick up at the hotel or indicated point:

69 euros.

Jeep safari around the island.

Jet ski tour

One of the most popular activities is riding a jet ski.

Before crossing

the waters of Fornells to

them, an initial class of 15 minutes takes place.

Following a route outlined by the guide, we sailed for half an hour through the Mediterranean, spotting the north coast of Menorca.

There are

half-hour and one-hour tours

, depending on the traveler's preferences.

In the case of the second option, a stop is made at a virgin beach to

take a dip

and cool off.

From the motorcycle you can see places such as

Sargantana Island

and the beaches of Fornells.

Price:

100 and 150 euros

.

Sailing at sunset

The next essential activity on the Balearic island is a sailboat ride when evening falls.

For something they say that Menorca has one of the

most beautiful sunsets

in Europe.

The departure of this experience takes place at 7:00 p.m. from the port of Fornells, from where the boat

enters the sea

to travel the Menorcan coast.

After sailing for an hour and a half, you anchor in a cove where you can have an

aperitif.

The route continues without stopping to contemplate the sunset.

Price:

60 euros

Visit to a cheese factory

The last of the proposals to get to know Menorca in depth takes place in one of the most famous cheese factories on the island, that of

Subaida.

Located on an inland farm, it manufactures cheeses with the Mahón designation of origin from Friesian cows from Holland.

They are not the only protagonists of the farm, but there are also

goats and pigs.

After visiting the milking parlor, they attend the cheese extraction and production processes.

The tour concludes, how could it be otherwise, with a

tasting

of three varieties

of Mahón cheese,

accompanied by sobrasada, salchichón and almond sweets.

Price: 9 euros.

You can book here.
