Mao, the town, is the biggest natural port in Europe and is located on the East side of Menorca. Strategically located just off the African coast and its closeness to the European continent turned into a prime location desired by every culture that have ruled the Mediterranean Sea.

Even today while walking down its streets involved by a marine military character, you can imagine those vintage soldiers sharing the night watch with a rhythmic pace through the narrow stone pavement streets. Its classical architecture is a bit different from the rest of the Spanish Mediterranean landscape; perhaps because the french and english influence during centuries. Without doubt a walking afternoon among this fortified town is a “must” in our tourist route for thought Menorca.

Unlike the North coast is a flat landscape. The influence of the strong winds that blow in this latitudes have moulded a drier scenery with a low height vegetation. If the weather conditions allows it go on a round-the-island-tour can be a overall experience.
