Most beautiful lighthouse! We drove out in early March on a very windy day. Drove within 100 yards of the lighthouse. Easy walk maybe 5 minutes. The lighthouse was not opened, not sure if it ever is open? Well worth the drive from Mahon to see this strikingly beautiful structure.

Although the Cami de Cavalls goes on for miles, we have only walked the path from Santo Tomas to Son Bou, as we have always found other things to do while staying on the beautiful island of Menorca. But we do like this trail. It is uneven under foot in places, and we saw people walking in flip flops, but would strongly recommend sturdy footwear for climbing and walking. We have walked in Spring and Autumn. In the spring you can see (and hear) the wonderful Bee-eaters flying over the pine trees that back the coastline near the sand dunes. The terrain at Santo Tomas could be quite difficult if struggling with hip, joints or any injuries.

Saw the lunchtime, 13.00 for half an hour organ resightal on this site- we have just returned from our trip in May and the €5 was do well worth the opportunity to see and hear the amazing organ being played in this lovely church. They live stream the view so you can see the incredible speed and skill of the organist. I had goosebumps and it was not due the the cool temp. in church. So worth a visit.

Superb tour guide. Fascinating tour of a beautiful island. This one is frequently overlooked for some bizarre reason as it is truly worth a visit. Known also as Quarantine Island. Boat leaves from Cala Fons (in Es Castell). Can get tickets also at tourist info but easiest is to buy directly at the boat 20 minutes before departure. Lots to see and photograph and a really interesting history. Also has one of the very first electrocardiographs and an original pharmacy.
8. Fortaleza De Isabel II
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 847 reviews
The Fortress of Isabel II was built between the years 1850 and 1875; it is located in one of the most beautiful spots on the island of Minorca and constituiting one of the best examples of late XIXth Century military architecture. This is a huge historic fort, open to the public, situated at the mouth of the harbour of Mahon. Guided tours are available (with prior booking) but you can walk freely with handsets. Itis well organised.

Having a passion for the nautical and quite a bit of experience rebuffing sea men, there was no way I was going to miss out on this naval fort. The first thing of note is the wonderful windy road that leads you up and along the north side of Mahon harbour (which one might like to know is one of the longest natural harbours in the world). As your car rolls over the final hill you will be awe struck by the intimidating and extensive outer walls of fort Isabella the 2nd. once inside having paid your reasonable entry fee and navigated your way through the all too generic gift shop, which quiet disappointingly sells no pictures or calendars of strapping young sailors, One finds oneself in a vast open and extensive coastal fort with long archway laden walk ways, gun turrets and fortified walls galore. Like yours truly for its age the fort is in excellent condition and much like the wedding dress bought by my Pilates teacher the fort has never actually been used, at least not in battle that is. As a parent it’s a wonderful place to take a young child who can peep through gun holes, climb walls and generally run riot. although the nanny did really seem to struggle pushing the pram along the many cobbles and hauling it up and down the many stairs - this isn’t a place I’d call wheelchair friendly. There is plenty to entertain history buffs, some big guns that kids can climb on and a wonderful display on Spanish Royal history that features a rather fetching picture of my dear Elizabeth the 2nd sharing a good laugh with the king of Spain. There are also some lovely acoustics in the archways if one fancies a turn with friends or maybe a more fitting sea shanty or two. My only criticisms would be that the cafe was rather limited and would not be some where To take lunch, and you should really bring practical shoes. Any serious history buff will probably want to spring the £3 for the audio tour as signs are few and far between. Quite a way to spend two hours

Went in out of curiosity and will be certainly going back! Absolutely amazing set up and atmosphere, great selection of food and drink - you just get whatever you want from where you want and take it in to the central area. Such a Spanish vibe, informal feel, very popular with locals and great value. An absolute must do when in Mahon.
