Menorca (Minorca) is one of Spain's Balearic islands in the Mediterranean Sea. Traditionally more low-key than its neighbors, Mallorca (Majorca) and Ibiza, it is known for its endless beaches, from miles-long sandy crescents to rocky, turquoise-watered bays called "calas." Pine trees fringe the coast. The capital, Mahon, is on a bluff overlooking a large harbor, with Georgian mansions and a church with 13th-century roots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The island is known for its collection of megalithic stone monuments: navetes, taules, and talayots, which indicate very early prehistoric human activity. In October 1993, Minorca was designated by UNESCO as a biosphere reserve. In July 2005, the island's application to become the 25th member of the International Island Games Association was approved. It has proven to be an amazing snowbird location.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
