Menorca
T
he western-most island of the Balearics, Menorca is the second largest after Mallorca. Although one of the quieter islands, it has something to offer everyone including beautiful, unspoilt beaches, magnificent architecture and harbours and a wealth of outdoor activities such as golf and watersports. The island was designated a biosphere by UNESCO in 1993 to protect the environment and preserve its countryside. Due to this, an amazing variety of wild flowers and birds can be seen. Andrew Langton, chairman, Aylesford International says, “Whilst there is still so much uncertainty in Europe and the Euro continues to look vulnerable, the mentality of ‘wait and see’ prevails - in other words, there is no sense of urgency in Menorca or indeed in neighbouring Ibiza and Mallorca. Given that Menorca is such an enchanting place, we expect the market to pick up once the dust has settled in Europe.” 56 76
