\"\"<\/a>One of the most preferred places by tourists from Europe is Menorca<\/a>, also called Minorca of the Balearic Islands of Spain. It is renowned for its natural beauty, rich vegetation, beautiful beach and wild life; it is something mind blowing.<\/span><\/p>\n

Realizing its high tourist potential, the government has not allowed commercialization of nearly 75% of the area. Therefore the place still retains its natural beauty and extends a very warm welcome to the tourists. The oldest community called the Es Mercadal is located to the north in this beautiful island.<\/span><\/p>\n

Just take a tour of the caves in this beautiful island. Interestingly, some of the caves are believed to belong to the Bronze Age! Most of these caves are just in front of the sea. In some of the caves, one can find most beautiful painting works. If you miss these painting works, certainly you have missed some great works of art. <\/span><\/p>\n

The next place of interest is the main town called Ciutadella de Menorca<\/strong><\/a> in Spanish. This is located to the west of Menorca. Ciutadella is a most beautiful harbor and it is the entry and exit point for tourists who visit this city. Ciutadella, apart from being a beautiful city, also has some places of importance. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another area coming under the Menorca<\/strong> <\/a>jurisdiction is Mahon which is another municipal administered place and another important port.
