Menorca has eight municipalities and several settlements with strong character. The two main cities share the history: Maó, today's capital beside its great natural harbour, and Ciutadella, the former capital with a stately old town at the western tip.
Inland, the white towns of Alaior, Es Mercadal, Ferreries and Es Migjorn Gran keep their rural character, crafts and island cuisine. On the coast, fishing villages such as Fornells, Es Grau and Es Castell live facing the sea.
This map places each town and sums up what makes it special, to help you decide where to stay or what to visit depending on the atmosphere you're after.
