What you can expect

What better way to spend a few hours than discovering and savouring the delights of Mahon, Menorca's history-steeped capital. On this morning tour, you'll enjoy a harbour boat trip have free time to explore the old town on market day and visit a historic distillery. Nicola, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘If you scratch beneath the surface, you'll find the British influence in many older buildings such as sash windows, panelled doors, lunettes and more. A uniquely Menorcan touch is the ruby-red paint on these houses.'

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.
