Menorca, Mediterranean island in Balearic archipelago, Spain.
The coastline of Menorca extends for 216 kilometers, featuring golden beaches in the south and dark rocky cliffs along the northern shore.
British control of Menorca from 1708 to the early 1800s established a naval base in Port Mahon, influencing local architecture and maritime development.
The Saint John's Feast celebrations in Ciutadella include traditional horse parades where riders perform rearing demonstrations amid gathering crowds.
The island maintains strict construction regulations that prevent high-rise buildings, ensuring the preservation of natural landscapes and traditional architecture.
The S'Albufera d'Es Grau Nature Reserve harbors numerous aquatic and migratory birds, contributing to Menorca's status as a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve.
