The island of Menorca enhances its cultural heritage offerings

Menorca, in the Balearic Islands, will welcome a new cultural space for visitors to enjoy, as it is enhancing its already broad cultural heritage offerings ahead of the 2021 season.

"Cova de S'Aigu", located in Cala Blanca-Ciutadella, is a burial cave that dates back to prehistoric times and a place where archaeologists have found remains from a variety of historical eras, including some inscriptions from the 18th century. Guided tours in English will be available from March 2021 for visitors, who can admire the different geological formations as well as a large lake with crystal clear waters, among a host of other interesting sites. 

Menorca spent over 70 years under British occupation. The inclusion of the island under British sovereignty made a deep and lasting impression, leaving behind a wealth of indelible cultural signs, such as the architectural styles, culinary dishes and numerous English words that have fused with the Menorcan language.

Ramblers Walking Holidays is offering a seven-night ?Coast & Countryside of Menorca? departing on March 23, 2021 from ?1,049 per person. The holiday includes seven nights in the colonial-style Hotel Port Mahon, in half-board ensuite accommodation. The package includes return international flights from London, a week of walking and sightseeing, including visits to ancient Talayotic villages and landmarks from the British domination such as Marlborough Fort.
