Port of Maó-Mahón, Natural harbor in Maó, Spain

The Port of Maó stretches over 5 kilometers inland with limestone cliffs reaching heights of 30 meters along its northern shore.

Throughout centuries, Carthaginians, Romans, Byzantines, Arabs, British, and French established control over this Mediterranean port due to its strategic position.

The traditional fishing fleet departs daily at dawn from the port, maintaining maritime customs that date back through multiple generations of local families.

Regular boat tours depart from the main pier between April and October, offering 1-hour excursions that cover the entire length of the port.

The port contains several small islands, including Isla del Rey, which houses an 18th-century military hospital constructed during British rule.
