Ciutadella de Menorca, Spain |
| |
|
|
A small historic town and former capital of the island. Many of the narrow, winding streets in the centre and near the waterfront are almost traffic free and a pleasure to stroll around. The old capital offers one small beach in town, at end of very long cove; sandy, gently shelving, safe for young children and surprisingly quiet. The popular Sa Caleta Beach, is just over a mile away and has a sandy, gently sloping beach. A great resort for those wanting plenty of relaxation but with still plenty to keep everyone happy including the children.
Ciutadella is very different in character to Mahon, sporting a distinct Moorish and Spanish influence in its Gothic and Baroque grand mansions and palaces. The town does not boast any specific sightseeing attractions but it does offer excellent restaurants, interesting shops and arcades as well as a relaxed ambience; perfect for wandering around. There are also some coves nearby inviting exploration. |
