Spain (Menorca - Balearic Islands): Route through the Island's Coves and Countryside, tailor-made by car

A week is the perfect amount of time to fully explore Menorca. The small size of the island means you can visit many places without covering long distances. Places such as the two main towns, Mahón and Ciudadela, both with jaw-dropping harbours that will keep your camera busy. That said, you'll be taking amazing photos everywhere you go. Just wait until you see Binibeca, one of the most beautiful villages in Spain. Once a fishing village, its whitewashed houses will instantly seduce you. And Menorca's beaches and coves are simply stunning. Both in the north and the south of the island. Some with whiter sand, others redder and a few even with dark sand, but all with a common denominator: crystal-clear waters and spotlessly clean. As you'll discover on the Coves and Countryside tour, there are some beaches that are only accessible by foot, while others will let you park up just a stone's throw from the water. But make sure you visit as many as you can! Must-see villages on this magnificent tour include Alaior and Es Mercadal, where you can climb up to the highest point of the island. Monte Toro will reward you with outstanding views of much of Menorca. Last but not least, make sure you try the wonderful local cuisine, from tasty lobster stew and Menorcan prawns to the island's incredible cheeses and excellent desserts. All washed down with the local drink par excellence, Xoriguer Gin, which is definitely the best way to cool off on a balmy summer evening. A season when a whole load of fiestas are held. There's one each summer weekend in a different village, so you'll be sure to see the true spectacle of Menorcan dancing horses. Enjoy your self-drive tour around the quietest of the Balearic Islands!
