Menorca (Minorca) is one of Spain’s Balearic
islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Traditionally more low-key than its
neighbors, Mallorca (Majorca) and Ibiza, it’s known for its endless beaches,
from miles-long sandy crescents to rocky, turquoise-watered bays called
“calas.” Pine trees fringe the coast. The capital, Mahon, is on a bluff
overlooking a large harbor, with Georgian mansions and a church with
13th-century roots.
