Menorca, Spain is the ideal vacation destination for tourists seeking a genuine Spanish holiday. The Island is fairly quiet and has a relaxed atmosphere even during peak holiday season. Menorca offers miles of sandy beaches. The beaches of Menorca tend to be quieter and less crowded than the beaches of the nearby Islands of Mallorca and Ibiza. The best beaches that Menorca has to offer are found on the eastern coast of the South shore.

The southern shore of the island features a number of popular resorts. Whereas the rocky northern shore is dotted with sleepy fishing villages for those of us who want to enjoy the culture of the island on a first hand basis.

Menorca has been largely protected from industrial development thus making it a haven for nature lovers. Menorca also offers excellent bicycle trails, which crisscrosses through out the island offering spectacular views of the waterfront and the island.

The Island enjoys Mediterranean weather characterized by hot summers and mild winters. Tourist tend to flock to Menorca during July and August, when the island reaches its hottest temperatures and offers sunny days with over eleven hours of sunlight. Menorca is quite an enjoyable tourist destination even during the off-season, where the temperatures never falls below zero degrees. During the winter months the temperatures range from a low of six degrees Celsius to a high of fourteen degrees.

Overall the quiet atmosphere of Menorca offers one of the top vacation destinations in Spain for tourists, who want to escape the hustle and bustle of the other Spanish beaches and cities.
