Dit kun je verwachten

De beste manier om een paar uur door te brengen met het ontdekken en proeven van Mahon, de met geschiedenis doordrenkte hoofdstad van Menorca, is meegaan op deze ochtendtocht. Je maakt een boottocht door de haven, bezoekt een historische gin distilleerderij. En als je tour op een marktdag is, heb je vrije tijd om door het centrum te struinen. Nicola, een van onze deskundige lokale gidsen, zegt: "Als je goed oplet, kun je in veel oudere gebouwen Britse invloeden terugvinden, zoals schuiframen, deuren met panelen, lunetten en meer. Maar de robijnrode verf geeft deze huizen een uniek Menorcaans tintje.”

Eerst maak je een boottocht met glazen bodem in de haven van Mahon – de op een na grootste ter wereld. Je deint tussen de versterkte eilandjes en bewondert de weelderige villa's langs de waterkant aan weerszijden. Sommige dateren uit de 18e eeuw, toen Menorca een Britse kolonie was. Vervolgens neem je een kijkje bij de oude gin distilleerderij van Xoriguer. Het favoriete drankje van Menorca wordt hier al sinds 1736 gemaakt, volgens hetzelfde recept – nog een symbool van het Britse erfgoed van het eiland.

Je hebt ook de tijd om op je gemak door Mahon te kuieren en de Georgische herenhuizen, de barokke kerken, de met palmbomen omzoomde pleinen en de smalle straatjes met kinderkopjes op de foto te zetten. Of je gaat naar de centraal gelegen markt op Plaza del Carme, waar de marktlui onder de kloostergangen van een 17e-eeuws klooster vanalles verkopen, van gerookt vlees tot vers fruit. De plaatselijke kaas met een vierkante vorm staat in heel Spanje hoog aangeschreven.

Mahon Harbour, Binibeca, Xoroi Cave and Torralba d’en Salord Tour

You'll discover Menorca by land and sea, and inside out, on this full day tour. Activities include a Mahon harbour boat trip and visits to the whitewashed Binibeca, unique Xoroi Cave and the Torralba d'en Salord megalithic site. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘Legend has it that the Xoroi cave was once the refuge of a man named Xoroi, who was shipwrecked during a storm and found shelter in the cave. The lore continues with tales of him falling in love with a local girl, leading to a romantic yet tragic story that adds an air of mystique to this stunning location'.The fun kicks off with a boat trip around Mahon harbour. At 5km long, it's one of the world's largest natural harbours. It's fringed by historic buildings, fortifications and dotted with islands. Back on dry land, there's a tour of Mahon town followed by some free time. Nicola adds, ‘Reminders of the century-long British rule are still visible to this day – you can see sash and bow windows, door latches and handles just as you would in the UK.' Then, discover the sugar-cube village of Binibeca and it's whitewashed homes.Just a little further east along the coast, you'll find the Cova d'en Xoroi, a bar uniquely set within a cave on a cliff face. Here, you can sip on a refreshing drink while soaking in the breathtaking sea views from what is undoubtedly Menorca's coolest bar. To round off the day, step back in time with a visit to the 3,000-year-old Torralba d'en Salord megalithic archaeological site – with your visit, you'll be directly contributing to its preservation.

Mahon Harbour Boat Tour with Mahon Market and Gin Distillery

What better way to spend a few hours than discovering and savouring the delights of Mahon, Menorca's history-steeped capital? On this morning tour, you'll enjoy a harbour boat trip, have free time to explore the old town on market day and visit a historic distillery. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘If you scratch beneath the surface, you'll find the British influence in many older buildings such as sash windows, panelled doors, lunettes and more. A uniquely Menorquin touch is the ruby-red paint on these houses.'First up is a glass-bottom boat trip in Mahon harbour – the second largest in the world. Glide between fortified islets and admire the opulent villas lining the waterfront on either side. Some date from the 18th century, when Menorca was a British colony. Next, it's on to the old Xoriguer gin distillery. Menorca's favourite tipple has been made here, using the same recipe, since 1736 – yet another symbol of the island's British heritage.There's also free time to wander around Mahon under your own steam, admiring its Georgian town houses, baroque churches, palm-lined squares and narrow, cobbled streets. Head to the centrally located Plaza del Carme, where there's a market of vendors hawking everything from cured meats to fresh fruit under the cloisters of a 17th-century convent. The local square-shaped cheese is highly regarded throughout Spain.

The welfare of the animals is the utmost priority. Nicola says, ‘Rescued animals enjoy a new life, in what would be their own normal environments – there are no cages.' And Debbie, another of our guides, adds, ‘The Lloc is so much more than a zoo – it's a sanctuary to many abused animals from circuses, illegal trafficking and even overbreeding.'As you follow the paths around the ponds, you'll come face-to-face with frisky monkeys, meet friendly dwarf goats and get up close to everything from kangaroos and giant tortoises to porcupines and peacocks.
