With its subtle British influences, Mahon stands out from the Balearic crowd. After a guided tour and free time to explore Menorca's compact capital, you'll get a real feel for this unusual port city. Discover its seafaring side on a boat trip around the harbour, and savour the flavours at Xoriguer gin distillery, before lunch at El Toro – Menorca's highest point. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘For me, the heart of Mahon is the local fish market where you can find the freshest fish, as well as several wine and pintxo bars with tables spilling out into the central courtyard.'
We'll start with a tasting session at the famous Xoriguer gin distillery. They've been making Menorca's favourite tipple since the 18th century, when the island was a British colony. You'll get to sample some of its innovative flavoured gins, as well as other liqueurs produced by the distillery. ‘Drink it like a local as a pomada – the refreshing gin and lemon cocktail that's a favourite during fiestas,' suggests Nicola.
After a boat tour of the harbour – the second-deepest in the world – you'll begin a guided walk around Mahon to see top sights like Spain's oldest theatre and the Church of Santa Maria. You'll also have time to explore on your own. Next, visit El Toro, Menorca's highest point, where lunch is served alongside unrivalled views over the island. Last but not least is the cool Cova d'en Xoroi – a chill-out bar in a seaside cave, which comes complete with vistas over the Mediterranean.
