A getaway to Menorca in May

A getaway to Menorca in May: a highly recommended pleasure

The good weather officially starts, and outdoor plans are very appealing. How about a getaway to Menorca in May? The first thing to do is to book your accommodation as soon as possible.[A4]

Once you have that sorted, you can start thinking about which plans you want to enjoy on the island. Obviously, you can opt for plans that we recommended in the winter plans post. The Camí de Cavalls is a valid option all year round. But since the temperature is ideal, a kayak ride or a boat trip would be great. Do you dare to take the first dip in Menorca’s crystal-clear beaches?

Kayaking in Menorca

If you prefer to lean towards cultural plans, Menorca is rich in activities. Until May 20th, there are performances throughout the island under the Menorca Jazz Festival. It has been held since 2017 and has been warmly welcomed by locals and visitors alike.

If you’re a history lover, you can visit Menorca’s numerous archaeological sites, known as «talaiots.» There are many excursions and visits available, both self-guided and guided. It’s a different way to learn about Menorca’s history from another perspective.

But if you’re passionate about horses, in May, the Menorcan Equestrian Morphology Competition takes place every year in Mercadal, in the center of the island. You will find the best specimens of Menorcan breed. The horse is a very important animal in Menorcan culture, and there is even its own discipline of Dressage. Where will you stay to experience equestrianism up close?

Finally, we recommend taking a walk through the markets in both Mahón and Ciutadella. Both are housed in buildings that you must visit. And you can shelter from the intense sun or occasional rain. Discover firsthand the freshest and most authentic products. Cheeses, cured meats, wines, typical sweets, crafts… You won’t be able to pick just one! Feel free to ask the local merchants about the origin of their products. They will be delighted to give you recommendations and suggestions.
