The Coventry Telegraph have run a good article about the island, and comment:

MINORCA is quite simply a Spanish treasure trove of natural beauty, a place to take a relaxed and unhurried approach.

Located in the centre of the western Med, it has more beaches than its Balearic bigger sisters, Majorca and Ibiza combined.

As we travelled by coach to the hotel I was quick to notice its quiet bays of soft sands and overjoyed when I found one right next to where I was staying – the Audax Spa and Wellness Centre – which sits on a pine-clad hillside, in Cala Galdana, in the south of the island.

Over the years, Minorca has become successful in avoiding the effects of becoming a tourist-stricken land mass. Instead it has kept its lush greenery and natural splendour.

The modest island is sprinkled with shimmering harbours, solitary coves snuggled between cliffs and relaxing walking trails. But that’s just a taster of a much bigger picture.

The first leg of the trip began in the eastern part of the island, the Port of Mahon, which is one of the deepest natural harbours in the world.
