of Menorca is Mahon, a town known since antiquity for its natural

As a result of the Spanish War of Succession, Menorca passed to the

English Crown. Together with Gibraltar it was England's reward for accepting

the Bourbon Felip V as king. English rule lasted for nearly a century. Many

traces of this period remain, particularly in the design of the tall houses

with their sash windows overlooking the harbor.

The ship is scheduled to dock at Muelle Comercial de Pasajeros at the

port of Mahon. The distance to the old town is less than half a mile.

Taxis are generally available on the pier.

The best shopping is found in the downtown area as well as at the market

stalls under the arcades of the old convent. Shop for ceramics, resort

wear, shoes, costume jewelry and local cheese. The Xoriguer Gin

Distillery is located near the pier. Some shops may close between 1:30

p.m. and 5:00 p.m.

Fresh clams are greatly appreciated, as is caldereta, a casserole of

fish or lobster. Local cooking includes baked aubergines and partridge

with cabbage. Pastries and puddings are favorite desserts, along with

local cheese and Menorcan ice creams.

Santa Maria Church. Located in the Plaza de la Constitucion, this

church was founded in 1287 and rebuilt in neo-classical style in the

world's largest, with 3,004 pipes.

Beaches. Sa Mesquida and Cala del Pilar are the two best beaches.
