ll Menorca
They say the winds of Menorca can change a person’s personality. Menorca certainly has a very strong impact on visitors. The "minor" island, as it was called by Romans, has an almost virginal interior (compared for instance to the "major" island, Mallorca) and shows interesting remains of its old history. On the other hand, there are beaches and lonely bays around it at a length of 216 kilometers. An ideal resort for all those who are looking for true relaxation.
ll History
Historically the Balearics can be considered as one. Because of their geographical strategic location - the Mediterranean sea-routes - these islands were important centres of trade. Piracy was brought to an end in the region when the Romans conquered Mallorca and established themselves there for six centuries. At the beginning of the 10th century, during the period of the Cordoba caliphs, the Vandals and Moslems came from the north but were considered the islands inopportune. Nevertheless, the Arab influence in agriculture and commerce, as well as the Roman influence on architecture, are quite evident.

ll Gastronomy
The Balearics have a rich gastronomic heritage and each island provides its own subtle variation on a cuisine that may be considered Mediterranean.
Soups are very popular in Majorca, particularly clear soups, which may be from fish, stew or meat stock. Fish and seafood based dishes are very important, given they are in plentiful supply and of great quality along the coast. La caldereta de langosta (a lobster dish) is the most outstanding. Other typical dishes are rice with lobster and tuna with mayonnaise. In fact, mayonnaise was probably invented in Menorca. Fish dishes also predominate In Ibiza. Of note is la burrida de ratjada, boiled skate seasoned with ground almonds, Ibiza lobster with squid and el guisat de marisc, a tasty stew made with a variety of fish and seafood. The cheese from Mahón is also outstanding. Only Majorca produces wine, but Menorca produces gin whilst Ibiza has a very strong herb liqueur that should be watered down with ice.

ll Activities
Going to the Bay of Palma (Mallorca) from the port to El Arenal is an ideal bicycle excursion. Though just 16 km, it goes all the along the seaside and you will see outstanding beaches such as El Portixol, El Molinar, and Coll d'En Rebassa, before arriving to the final destination. The historical centre of Alaior (Menorca), with its narrow lanes, whitewashed walls and manor houses of the 17th and 18th century is certainly worth visiting. The surrounding area provides some very interesting prehistoric remains such as the taula and talayot of Torralba, and the settlement of Torre d'en Gaumés. Mergeformatinet (Ibiza) is particularly interesting for a quite unique historical remain - the Cueva des Cuieram caves with a Carthaginian temple inside.
San Francisco Javier, a concentration of white houses built around a fortified church, is in the interior Formentera.
Needless to say, the islands provide excellent facilities for water based sports such as sailing and surfing.
