First up is a glass-bottom boat trip in Mahon harbour – the second largest in the world. Glide between fortified islets and admire the opulent villas lining the waterfront on either side. Some date from the 18th century, when Menorca was a British colony. Next, it's on to the old Xoriguer gin distillery for a guided visit. Menorca's favourite tipple has been made here, using the same recipe, since 1736 – yet another symbol of the island's British heritage.
There's also free time to wander around Mahon under your own steam, admiring its Georgian townhouses, baroque churches, palm-lined squares and narrow, cobbled streets. Head to the centrally located Plaça del Carme, where there's a market for vendors hawking everything from cured meats to fresh fruit under the cloisters of a 17th-century convent. The local square-shaped cheese is highly regarded throughout Spain. And keep an eye for posters highlighting discounts if you're one of our guests.
