The Best of Balearics

#myhiddengems Known for its sustainability and nature protection efforts, Menorca is where the cleanest and most beautiful beaches of Balearics region exist. From its white sandy beaches to stunning coves, Menorca rates very high on beach getaways for families. Compared to other Spanish islands you would find less developments in Menorca, avoiding that commercial feel some islands have. Flowers in fields; clumps of forest; glimpses of beaches between cliffs along the coastline. Driving around, the stretches of scenic nature can be seen. When it comes to the cuisine the Spanish influence is quite evident. The local fish market in the capital, Mahon, serves tapas-style dishes. The more substantial dishes are heavy on things like vegetables, sausages and cheese. It reminds me of the Catalan cuisine. With more than a 100 beaches to its credit. You are filled with choices and I mean several or most with crystal clear water, it reminded me of beaches in the Caribbean. Throughout Menorca, you will find Areas of Special Interest, including the Albufera des Grau Natural Park, which occupies over 5,000 hectares of land. Aside from lush olive forests and ponds, the natural park has stunning wetlands, coastal islets, and dune systems. Lastly, those who enjoy mountains. Climbing Mount toro in Menorca will reward you with stunning views. #myhiddengems #100waysoftravel #menorca #vivaespania #tapas #solotrip #summergetaway #singapore
