Mahon, otherwise known as Mao is the capital of Menorca, home to Mahon Airport and the low cost car hire operators. A picturesque island with something for everyone, Menorca is easily discovered by hire car. For people spotters, there’s nowhere better to pass a few hours than Mahon Marina with its abundance of bars and restaurants.
For beach lovers and located only a very short drive in your hire car from Mahon is Punta Prima beach with its fine white sand, watersports and endless sunshine. Another nearby beach with easy parking for your hire car, as well as being set on the edge of a national park with its own fresh water lake is Es Grau.
If you’re looking to venture a bit further afield in your low cost hire car, then Cuitadella, situated on the west of the island is a great spot. Under an hour’s drive from Mahon Airport, a former commercial and cultural centre of the island, Cuitadella has a rich history dating back to Roman times. Although it doesn’t have its own beach, it makes a lovely day out with its old town centre and a bustling harbour area strewn with restaurants. If your long, lazy lunch puts you in the mood for an afternoon on the beach, you can always head off in your hire car to the nearby beaches of Cala Santandria or Sa Caleta to catch some rays.
Food in Menorca truly is an international affair with the capital Mahon offering an endless choice for every taste and budget. There are Indian, Chinese and Italian restaurants sitting shoulder to shoulder with traditional Spanish eateries, fine seafood restaurants and tapas bars. Put simply, there’s something to satisfy every culinary desire. What’s more, during the summer months, Menorca plays host to a great selection of festivals and carnivals where fun and frolics are to be enjoyed by all
Situated a mere 5 minutes south west of the islands capital, Mahon, Mahon Airport is a smallish, modern, primarily international airport which boasts good facilities. The airport has a somewhat homely feel due to its clever landscaping and friendly staff. The low cost car hire operators represented at the airport are Alamo, Avis, Hertz and National-Atesa. That said, to avoid inevitable queues, particularly during high season, you’ be best to select and book your low cost car hire before you arrive. That way you simply need to load up your baggage and your holiday’s already off to a great start.

 Venturing from one end of Menorca to another is something of an epic journey. And if you don’t believe me, ask someone in Mahon when was the last time they went to Ciutadella (I guarantee it will have been a while ago); or quiz someone in Ciutadella where Llucmaçanes is (chances are, they’ll have never even been there). Us islanders, whether authentic ones or adopted ones like myself, live in a shrunken world where a 40km drive is the British equivalent of a weekend in Paris. Short distances here are magnified to colossal proportions.
I say all this by way of a preamble, as on one of my long distance expeditions last week (all the way to Cala en Blanes, no less), I made a discovery that something had changed since my last visit. And I don’t think it has changed for the better.
In the middle of the Irish pubs/Chinese restaurants/cocktail bars and the like that make up this tourist hub, there was – and note the use of the past tense here – a tiny church in the middle of the resort. It was small, so tiny that the stone pews were out in the open, but it’s the kind of landmark that stands out. You don’t often stumble across a spiritual oasis in the midst of a pound-a-pint urban jungle.
So it came as something of a surprise to see that this chapel had been laid to rest, so to speak. A tourist information office, or something along those lines, now stands in its shell.
I’m a real fan of chapels in strange places. I like the fact that people drive past Fàtima without even knowing it’s there; the same’s true of the shrine at Alcaufar. I adore the miniature one in the middle of Binibeca’s fake fishing village, and the pride with which locals talk about Sant Joan de Missa. So with the loss of the santuary at Cala en Blanes, I’m disappointed that Menorca’s random church total has dropped by one.

 At times I realise that I need to get off Menorca and recharge my British batteries. Last week was one of those occasions. Something novel occurred in Mahon, a thing that just about everyone else in the world wouldn’t even have been bothered about, but it got people talking here, and it was even in the island’s newspapers. A new supermarket opened. I know. It’s not much. But with all the hype, there was no avoiding the countdown.
A while ago I was chatting to a friend who has lived on Menorca for 20 years. She told me that when she arrived, she picked fun at her husband because he and his mother were going to spend the day in a new supermarket. ‘I couldn’t believe that a building as boring as a large supermarket could generate so much excitement.’ We laughed. Then she turned serious. ‘What’s really bothering me is that now, two decades later, I am looking forward to going to the opening of this new chain store.’
I too, feigned disinterest, but I still took a casual drive past the new store on its inaugural day last week. I wasn’t planning on going shopping – I had a meeting half an hour later – but I had secretly promised myself that, if it wasn’t too busy, I’d pop in and take a look around. The moment I spotted the balloons in the distance, I realised there was no chance of that. Police were out in force dealing with the excess in traffic; there was a man in a fluorescent jacket letting vehicles into the car park on a one in, one out basis; and people were pushing loaded trolleys hundreds of metres away to where they had parked their cars.
And that was when I knew it was time for a break from island life. It’s only a supermarket, how on earth did I get caught up with all the frenzy? It’s time to book some flights instead.

 Sunny Sundays in the middle of Menorca’s winter are a treat, so much so that I boast about them at every opportunity to my British friends wrapped up in their centrally heated homes from November to February. You see, when winter comes, Menorcans usually hibernate – it’s quite probably that I’ll see someone who lives just a few streets away around Christmas and I won’t bump into them again until Carnival – but when the sun is kind enough to shine, us islanders get out, dust down our sunglasses and make the most that we’ve got Menorca to ourselves.
It’s not that we do anything particularly special, I mean, there’s the standard Sunday stuff, like lengthy coffee outings and purchasing newspapers that you’ll never be able to read cover to cover, but what you won’t find are Menorcans strolling around town. Sunday shopping is an unknown activity, even in the height of summer everything’s closed on Sunday afternoons, and the rest of the year most shops don’t even bother to open on Saturday afternoons.
So while villages turn into ghost towns on bright winter weekends, us islanders head elsewhere. Maybe we’ll be wandering along the water’s edge admiring boats we cannot afford in Mahón or Fornells, or picnicking on an empty beach where the crystal waters play tricks on our eyes (believe me, the sea is never as warm as it might appear). Or perhaps we’ve pulled out our muddy mountain bikes to bump along country lanes, or we’re being blustered at the top of Monte Toro wishing we were eating pastissets in the café. Or maybe we’re walking the dog along Ciutadella’s Passeig de Marítim or strolling along that picturesque road hugging the coastline between Ciutadella and Cala en Blanes. That’s where Menorcans spend these precious sunny Sundays. Such days take us by surprise, and disappear leaving no suggestion that they ever existed – as I write it’s pouring with rain.
