Un poco de historia
Mahon Harbour stretches over five kilometres inland, making it one of the longest natural harbours in the Mediterranean. Take one of the many boat tours from here and you’ll see slices of urban and rural Menorcan life before you even meet the sea. Travel through the bustling quays and marinas near the city, thinning out into quieter, green stretches as you approach the cliffs by the mouth of the harbour. But you don’t need to hit the water to make the most of Mahon Harbour. Take a stroll through the streets, where the architecture reflects spells of Roman, Byzantine, Arabic, Catalan, Spanish, French and British influence. There’s a lively market scene to check out, too, with plenty of fresh seafood. You can find the golden-hued sandstone of the 18th-century Church of Santa Maria just a few streets back from the waterfront. Or, right on the marina, you can visit Xoriguer Gin Distillery – it was set up in the early 1700s to give British sailors a place to get their favourite tipple.
