Playa de Son Bou
Son Bou is the island's longest (nearly 4 kms) and most crowded beach. Its size, together with the many facilities available in the area, make it an ideal beach for going with children. At one of the extremities are located the rests of a palaeo-Christian basilica.
Alaior
In 1304, King Jaume II of Mallorca founded what we know today as Alaior on the site of an old farmstead named Ihalor. Nowadays it can be considered as the third capital city of the island, constantly mediating between Mahon and Ciudadela and characterised by a balanced economy, which gives it a certain independence. The most flourishing sectors are agriculture, tourism and industry. It is particularly famous for its shoes and dry cheese production.
Mahon
In Mahon you can visit the Menorca's Museum, hosted in the old Franciscan convent, Santa Maria's Church, with its magnificent organ, whose quality attracts famous musicians from all over the world. Another suggestion is to stroll in the port's area, where you can find a lot of restaurants and bars and where people use to go out, especially in summer.
Ciudadela
The old island's capital, Ciudadela, is only a 30 minute drive away from the Hotel. It is still possible to admire parts of the ancient city walls, and the city offers many interesting palaces and monuments to visit, such as Santa Maria's Cathedral, the Episcopal Palace and the Seminary. All the old part of the city is closed to traffic and full of shops. In the harbour tourists can find many open air restaurants.
Basilica Paleocristiana
It is amazing how nowadays it is still possible to admire rests of such ancient monuments. Palaeo-Christian Basilicas were built during the Vandal reign of Chartage (northern african influence) and later on under the Byzantine domination (Eastern Roman Empire). The Son Bou's beautiful Basilica belongs to the first period, since it was built in the 5th century. Extremely interesting is its baptismal font, carved from a single stone.
Fornells
The fishing village of Fornells has become an important touristic centre, partly because of the lobster stew (caldereta) served in its restaurants. The old pools for salt exploitation can be seen in the enormous bay of Fornells. Another interesting place to visit is the watchtower built by the British after the demolition of the San Antonio fort.
Naveta does Tudons
Many prehistoric monuments can be found all around the island. The burial monument "Naveta doEs Tudons" is the most famous, it dates back to 1400 BC approximately and has the shape of an inverted hull, from which its name is derived (nave=boat).
Parque Aventura
Superjumper, climbing wall, children's camping.

Mediterranean beaches, sangria in the sun and paella by the plateful. Southern Spain has long been a popular place, but tourists are increasingly turning to the fascinations of another Spain, far removed from the high-rise developments lining the Costa del Sol.
Spain is a treasure chest of unforgettable scenery. Separating Spain from France, the snow-capped Pyrenees, as well as having breathtaking views, offer resorts like La Molina and Panticosa with plenty of opportunities for skiing. In the north, the winding rivers and lush, green forests of Galicia present a picture not usually associated
with Spain, and in complete contrast to the Moorish-influenced south, Galician culture traces its routes to a Celtic origin. Everywhere are reminders of Spain's rich and varied past, from the Alhambra in Granada to Don Quixote's windmills in La Mancha.
Old mixes with new in cities such as Toledo, Barcelona, Salamanca and the capital, Madrid, as celebrated museums, galleries and Baroque churches rub shoulders with blaring bars and thumping discos.
What will never change is the Spaniards' passion for partying. Snack on tapas as you skip from bar to bar, before heading off to enjoy Spain's infamous nightlife. Then revitalise the senses - Spain's cultural heritage brims with flamenco, painting, opera, literature, sport, bullfighting and flamboyant, colorful fiestas.
Spain was a dictatorship under General Franco until his death in 1975. The authoritarian regime was then transformed into a democratic government with King Juan Carlos I as head of state. Modern Spain is a successful democracy with a lot of autonomy given to directly elected regional authorities, although the tension between the state and the separatist movement in the Basque region in the north remains a political problem.
As bargains abound amid intense airline competition, there has never been a better time to visit Spain. Just soak up the atmosphere - you will not be disappointed.
Geography Spain shares the Iberian peninsula with Portugal and is bordered to the north by the Pyrenees, which separate Spain from France. The Balearic Islands (Mallorca, Menorca, Ibiza and Formentera), 193km (120 miles) southeast of Barcelona, and the Canary Islands off the west coast of Africa are part of Spain, as are the tiny enclaves of Ceuta and Melilla on the north African mainland. With the exception of Switzerland, mainland Spain is the highest and most mountainous country in Europe, with an average height of 610m (2000ft). The Pyrenees stretch roughly 400km (249 miles) from the Basque Country in the west to the Mediterranean Sea; at times the peaks rise to over 1524m (5000ft), the highest point being 3404m (11,169ft). The main physical feature of Spain is the vast central plateau, or Meseta, divided by several chains of sierras. The higher northern area includes Castille and León, the southern section comprises Castile/La Mancha and Extremadura. In the south, the plateau drops abruptly at the Sierra Morena, beyond which lies the valley of Guadalquivir. Southeast of Granada is the Sierra Nevada, part of the Betic Cordillera, which runs parallel to the Mediterranean, rising to 3481m (11,420ft) and the highest point on the Spanish peninsula (the Pico del Teide on Tenerife in the Canaries is the highest peak in Spain). The Mediterranean coastal area reaches from the French frontier in the northeast down to the Straits of Gibraltar, the narrow strip of water linking the Mediterranean with the Atlantic and separating Spain from North Africa.
