I enjoyed your video, my ancestors are from there and I plan to visit the beaches and some of the ancient stone structures. Nice work.
I would recommend visit the different "talaiots" that you can find in Menorca, there are a lot! Not only beaches are nice, there is a lot of culture and ancient places.
People like you make us go. I already had the flight bought, but you were a good help planning. If you ever come to Portugal, will be delighted to help. Best regards from Cascais, Portugal
Ola Paulo - we're glad you liked the video :D Nas is from Portugal so maybe one day we'll bump into you in the streets of Lisbon!
We love Arenal d'en Castell & are staying there very soon for our 7th visit. The bay is amazing & Crystal clear, usually so calm, and it's just down a slope from our hotel. ❤🏖
The area is amazing. Enjoy!
Great video. You've made me even more excited about my upcoming trip to Menorca. Thanks for posting. xx

Thanks for sharing this wonderful video.
I've only been once to Spain, in 1996. Visited Madrid, Seville, Jerez, Torremolinos, Granada, Sierra Nevada, Cadiz, it was very memorable.
Oh wow that’s a fantastic tour of Spain! It’s a great place to visit 🙌🏻 Thanks for being the first one to comment 🥰
@@NALBATRAVELS Yes, it was a fantastic 7 days 8 nights tour in Spain. In 1996, d special package provided by Malaysia Airlines was only around RM1K. I was amazed at all d UNESCO world heritage sites that we had visited, Al Hambra in Granada, d cathedral n palace in Seville, d grand palace n Prado museum in Madrid. That trip made inspired me to look for an opportunity to work n live in one of d beautiful cities in Europe n to further discover d heritage n legacy in d european continent. 😁
Nice video,,super nice scenery, hope someday visit the places. Stay positive
Thank you! Definitely recommend visiting, it’s so beautiful
Muchas gracias 🤩
Very informative and helpful. I'm going to Cala Galdana this year. ❤❤ ❤❤❤❤
Glad it was helpful!! You’ll have the best time 😊
"Wow, I just had to leave a comment to say how much I absolutely adore this channel! The tips and insights about Menorca were simply fantastic. This video has made me even more excited about visiting the island. Thank you for sharing such amazing content! Keep up the great work! 😊👍"
You have no idea how happy this makes us!! 😍 Thanks so much for watching. Hope you have amazing time in Menorca 🙌 PS: There will be more Menorca videos coming this summer 😋
@@NALBATRAVELS Hello there!
What a hilarious coincidence that I stumbled upon your UA-cam channel featuring videos about São Miguel Island, as I actually live on São Miguel myself! It's such a small world! Your videos have been quite entertaining!
If you are considering visiting São Miguel Island again, I highly recommend coming during the summer months. The weather is much more stable, allowing you to enjoy the island to its fullest. There are so many beautiful places to explore, and one must-visit spot is the Ilhéu da Vila Franca do Campo. Trust me; you won't be disappointed!
For those interested, I also have a second channel called @landscapes_and_Drives where I showcase more of the stunning landscapes and drives around the island. So, feel free to check it out for some extra inspiration before planning your trip.
If any of you decide to come to São Miguel, please don't hesitate to reach out to me. I'd be more than happy to provide additional tips and recommendations for an unforgettable experience on this magical island.
Thank you for the wonderful content, and see you all in São Miguel.
....Hi,Guys...enjoyed it...keep it up the good work...(🙂
Thank you!! 🙌🫶
Really liking your Menorca videos! You could do a 'places to eat' video. Eg, where's really good for Paella? Think I remember having an amazing traditional Lobster stew when I was there years ago. What about vegetarian restaurants? Bakeries - Ensaïmadas.. and of course, coffee! There must be many beautiful places to eat in Menorca. We're going back there in a few months time.. really looking forward to it!
YEEEEES! There are so many good places to eat. Later in the year we may go back just to make a video about food in Menorca! 😁
Amazing! Thanks guys! I'm going in June and I absolutely can not wait to see all of these places. If I'm only going for a week will I have enough time to see all of this or should I only focus on some stuff? I'll be staying in Es Castell.
You will definitely be able to see all of these! Menorca is gorgeous and you're gonna love it! 😁
Me encanto el video. Estamos pensando en ir en Agosto. Es muy problemático rentar un boat?
Recomiendan rentar un carro también or scooter ? 😊
Yeeeeaaah! I totally agree, since I actually have been there I totally agree with all the places you recommend to visit. The island is very well kept and respected by everyone. However, I think if you don’t hire a car there’s not much public transport to take you for example from the north of the island to the South? That’s what I have noticed when I was there. Correct me if I’m wrong or it has changed :) see you in your next video :)
That is very true!! We definitely recommend people hire a car if they want to get to to know the island. There’s public transport but it’s not the best, and taxis are expensive! Thanks for watching 😍
Great video guys. Any recommendations on how to get to Menorca from the mainland? I heard some rumors that there is a ferry... can you give recommendations on that?
Thanks! There is a ferry from Barcelona, but I think it can take up to 8 hours. Personally, we've always taken a plane. From either Barcelona or Madrid, it takes less than an hour.
Hi am looking for somewhere they have tribute acts on on the evening I've been to calabona loved it but would like to try somewhere else thank you for all the information you share on you tube
Hey there! So the local festivities happen at different dates in each area of the island, that’s where you’ll be able to attend traditional events. You can find the dates for each area here menorcablue.com/culture-lifestyle/menorcas-local-fiestas/fiesta-dates-places/
May I ask where you recommend renting a boat and what horse power you feel is adequate? Thank you......and really wonder video.
I recommend renting in Fornells, Mahón or Cala Galdana 😊 In terms of horse power I’m not sure it totally depends on the kind of activities you want to do! Also in Spain I believe there’s restrictions in terms of horse power you can rent as they may ask for specific licenses for the higher ones - So definitely check the requirements with the rental company!
Great video - What is Ciutadella like for parking in the evening timr?
We drove their yesterday evening and the main parking in the main square was full but there were a few spaces a couple of streets away
Thank you! Glad you found it useful. It can be a bit difficult to find parking in Ciutadella in the evenings - The trick is definitely to try parking a bit further away from the main squares and looking for spaces in side streets, like May suggested 😊
@@NALBATRAVELS Thanks for that - is there a big car park to be found?
Hi there! Thank you for this amazing video. Would you be able to share the best places to stay, and transportation around the island? Also, what would be the best option--AirBNB or hotels? I will be going for my honeymoon!
Thanks for your kind words! Glad the video was useful 🥰 And of course! The places I recommend the most to stay at are Ciutadella or Mahón - Because they are the biggest towns (meaning the have the most things happening and the best transport links). But if you get a car any area in the island is beautiful to stay at! Unfortunately the public transport is not great in the island, so most tourist end up renting cars. If you don’t drive then definitely stay in one of the towns I mentioned, as you’ll be able to find public buses from there to take you to key areas. Hope that you have the best time on your honeymoon!
Searching for some tips for Menorca. How did you move around on the island? I am thinking of rentig a car. Can you recommend this? I dont know the park situation etc. there.
Thanks for all’ The tips!! Where do you suggest to book the hotel? In which city?
it really depends on what you like more. If you want to stay near a city with a lot of restaurants, then book a hotel in Ciutadella or Mahon, if you prefer to stay near a beach in the tourist area, try Cala Galdana, and if you want near beautiful beaches but with not a lot of tourists, maybe Fornells, Arenal D'Encastel... There's quite a lot of options, but I'm sure wherever you decide to stay, you'll have a great time! 😁
Thanks so so much! I’m watching all your episodes on Menorca and they’re helping me to planning my trip. I will go in April. I know that it’s not summertime so I probably will not swim there but I hope to enjoy the same the city and the place. ❤️ thanks
We like to see more the beaches and not just faces 🤫
Thanks so much for this video!.. I will be visiting by the end of April beginning of may. Do you think it would be too cold to swim? thank you :)
It will definitely been colder than in in July/August, but I think people already start swimming by then. Have fun and let us know here if it was too cold or not :D
Where do you advise to take a boat? There are ceveral, but which part of the island is best to explore with a rental boat?
Honestly the whole island is beautiful and whichever you choose you’ll find amazing beaches! But our top 3 are (in no particular order):
- Cala Galdana: From there you can explore some of the most beautiful & famous beaches in the island (Mitjana, En turqueta, Macarella…) and the experience is so much better by boat on this side of the island.
- Fornells: The Fornells Harbour is already gorgeous with lots to explore, but from there you can also go to Cavalleria and Pregonda and they are stunning.
- Mahón: Best to explore the Mahón harbour which is one of the largest natural harbours in the world and very pretty. From there you can go to Illa d’en Colom which is gorgeous. But keep in mind that because the Mahon port is so long it takes time to get in & out.
Holidays are my biggest fear. Trying to push myself. Watched your video and planning my first holiday in my life (Menorca sounds just right). Thank you for great video! BTW How many days is a good number?
We're sure you'll have a lovely time! In terms of time, it really depends on personal preference. If you want to explore the towns and do some activities (we have loads of other Menorca videos, you can check those for ideas), then maybe a week. If you just want to go to the beach (which is also great), then less than a week I would say :)
Once you start, you just can't stop. So far 61 countries. Put your fears away, free your soul just put yourself in the road. Plan safely, but just go. Will help you planning. Best regards from Portugal
What is the best area to stay for a couple in theirs 30s who love hiking and being active. Not to much in to the night live and very interested in the culture of a new place and love good food of course 😄
There are hikes all around the island, but if you stay in Cala Galdana you’ll have access to great hiking trails in your doorstep! Ciutadella is the best area to explore culture, just make sure to stay away from the port to avoid the nightlife bustle 😅
@@NALBATRAVELS thank you for replying, we decided to walk the complete trail around the island. Thanks for the inspiration!
No entiendo mucho el inglés, pero bajando la velocidad del video y con subtítulos en español entendí bien. Gracias por la información. Pregunto por su alguien por aquí me puede contestar...mejor época para visitar que no haya tanta gente? Alguna idea del costo hoteles u hospedajes? Sé que eso último es algo que cambia con el tiempo, pero es sólo para tener una idea.
Saludos desde Puerto Rico 🇵🇷
Hola! No hay problema, Alba es de España así que te contesto en español 😊 Me alegro de que el video te haya sido útil! Julio y Septiembre son épocas muy buenas para visitar porque aún hace buen tiempo y no hay tanta gente como en Agosto. Los mese de Mayo y Junio también pueden estar bien, y los precios serán más bajos seguros! Pero las temperaturas no estarán tan bien como en Julio y Agosto. En cuanto a precios depende de la época del año y del tipo de alojamiento que busques la verdad - Recomiendo echar un vistazo a los alojamientos en booking.com 😊
Hola! Cómo menorquín y local de la isla, si lo que quieres es venir y que no haya tanto turismo, te recomiendo venir el mes de Mayo. En junio la cosa se empieza a desmadrar un poco y para las fiestas de Ciudadela (23/24 de junio) la isla está a rebosar. También, el mes de septiembre (mediados hasta finales) suele calmarse bastante.
Obviamente en esos meses, se consideran de temporada baja y los hospedajes son más baratos.
Un saludo.
Where would you recommend basing yourself in Menorca for a few days holiday?
We usually recommend Ciutadella or Mahon! You can find the comparison of the two in this video we made recently: ua-cam.com/video/RddiwEJvKiA/v-deo.htmlsi=AxB_iRPhNsr3THKa
Less speaking, more view
How much are boat rentals usually?
It depends on the type of boat and time of the year but generally they start at 200€ per day
Hola. Nosotros estamos actualmente en Menorca . Mi esposo y yo con mis dos ninos ... lamentablemente no tenemos licencia de conducir los dos y los taxis están muy caros el transporte (autobús) es pésimo aquí. Otra manera de movilizarnos???
Hola! Espero que hayan tenido una buena estancia en la isla 😊 Desafortunadamente esas son las pocas maneras de moverse por la isla! Espero que consiguiesen disfrutar sin mayor problema 🙌
I see that y'all are wearing masks outside. Is that required?
Hey, no, not anymore. We recorded some of this footage last year when it was still required but as of 2022 you don't have to wear it :)
You lost me with a face mask at the beach.
if you don't like cats don't go to Fornells
