MENORCA: The hidden island of the Balearics

From the website http://www.webchats.tv

Menorca might not be as familiar to British holidaymakers as its sisters Majorca and Ibiza, but with as many beaches as the other 2 islands combined, it offers just as many attractions.

The second largest Balearic island was even declared a Biological Reserve by UNESCO 10 years ago and it is a special favourite with birdwatchers drawn by the world-famous Albufera de Es Grau a paradise for those interested in our feathered friends.

Meanwhile the miles of sand offer families with little children and those wanting a quiet holiday the chance to relax away from the crowds.

But sunbathing and bird watching are not the only delights in store for visitors. There is something for everyone, including historians. The island is well known for its large collection of megalithic stone monuments and the influence of the British, French and Spanish who lived there in the 18th Century can still be felt in the towns today.

All this and only 2 hours away. What are you waiting for?

Emily Herreras-Griffiths, Tourism Expert for the Balearic Islands joined Keith Betton to discuss why Menorca is a great choice for your holiday.
