Adventures in Menorca in mid-May

[kimajy]

Yes - I'm totally serious ! Just back from a packed 2 night trip to Menorca, which I have to say WAY exceeded my expectations. Memories of the place were very fuzzy as it's been many years since I went there... so long ago in fact I didn't have zee hire car.

Seriously needed to clear my head on Tuesday night and a last-minute fumble for an affordable morning flight somewhere (with a ready supply of flights home) threw up Mahon, Greece or Pula (latter two of which were forecast to be cloudy or raining and flights home looked sketchy or astronomically costly). Tried to get a quickie Canyoning trip in the hills behind Nice sorted but yet again the organizers were waiting for a big group to confirm and couldn't tell me until the night before - so binned that idea.

... and so I embarked on an all night 'try to get the insider on Menorca' fact-find in the 5 hours remaining to book up the rest of the necessaries and try to find a few things to do. Most of what was on-line seemed way out of date - could have killed for a forum like this to check out !

May post up a little report if I can muster the strength !

For a man of your disposition there is a great deal to do ! It's 47km long x 19km wide (max). http://www.findmeinmenorca.com/facts.php

It's a designated UNESCO Biosphere reserve, so if you like it on the wilder side much of the island is protected and quite stunning. It does feel very different to Ibiza even in rural areas.. and takes a lot longer to get around owing to 2 main towns at opposite ends of the island, with one main road running across the island between them ... lots of lorries and very little dual-carriageway !

Day One

Low flying drive to Gatwick South Long Stay in rare bright sunshine.. had in my mind 8.45am departure but it was 8.25am when I checked on the bus to the Terminal . Waved to the front of the check-in q on arrival tho'. Last fag before security turned out a dodgy call – boards showed “Gate Closed” by the time I got through and literally ran a considerable way to the gate. Boarded to much “tutting” .. my red face was not in the least about embarrassment - I was absolutely burning up under a sweatshirt and having been up for 24 hours passed out exhausted shortly after take-off!

Woke briefly mid-flight to a crystal clear view of the Pyrenees ..

and then slept till landing.

Forecasts showed clouds in the morning clearing up by lunchtime. Waiting for the Goldcar bus at 10.45am a cold North wind was howling and the sky carpeted in cloud - I'd seen no sign of clear skies for miles on the descent and was rather sceptical... but resolved to keep an open mind and was glad of some trousers and my warm top !

“Dealing with Goldcar” (skip if you're not interested in cars or rentals !)
Goldcar in fairness are one of my least favourite car hire firms after a terrible experience in Malaga. Amigo Autos stitched me up with them (inexperience of Menorca firms, little time to research and desperate to get something pre-booked before midnight I went for a voucher and wound up with this !). Here, sited on an industrial estate 10 minute drive away from the terminal car park. Only one minibus driven by a very ‘likely lad' with an 8-person capacity. Having waited out the first shuttle, when he returned it was a scrum to get on .

The English were trying to be polite – and weren't gonna get on this one either it was quite clear. Spanish girls were taking advantage of others' "manners" scrabbling to q-jump and quickly filled the bus . Mayhem. I threw my suitcase in the back and shoved my booking under the driver's nose. He said it was full and I'd have to pay the fine for over-capacity. But got in anyway and told him that's “fine”, let's go .. all the other Brits were left on the forecourt again.

About ½ an hour more queuing on arrival with two girls servicing the whole operation and a dodgy printer . Was polite but bristling by the time I got served. Immediate attempts to strong-arm me into extras. Forced to buy a 110Euro tank of fuel and despite a 2-day hire was warned they were not authorised to ever refund it in full as their T&Cs said “must be returned as empty as possible”. Plus they checked the mileage and charged that way if they liked even if I filled it. What bolloc*s . Tried to force me to buy 40Euro insurance on a 30Euro rental by threatening I had no 24-hour emergency cover and only 3rd party insurance so in effect an unlimited damage excess without it .

Plus I had to pay 600Euros 3rd party damage excess on the spot. Well, I had standalone excess protection to £3,000 already so I risked it and said no thanks. Must be one of the few people ever to do that but hate this sort of sharp practice. F*ck it.

On the ‘plus' the car was very new, upgraded, diesel Citroen C4 with lots of oomph and a cracking set of speakers 8). On the minus it was scratch and dent-free .. and getting the knack of opening the boot was quite another matter !

Finally on the road

Despite the grief I gave the girl serving me, who I think knew darned fine I had grounds to be unhappy, I'd been polite with it and she kindly directed me to the nearest Tabac and ATM with easy parking, in Sant Climent on the way to Cala en Porter. 45Euros a carton for Marlboros – Spanish prices gone up a Euro in a little over a month ! Major fag stock-up done, and cash in hand from ATM next door, was a short drive to Cala en Porter and Hotel Aquarium. They couldn't have been friendlier 8). Answered all questions, equipped me with a map and gave me an upgraded roomy double sea-view room. 8)

I'd barely managed an hour's proper sleep on the flight so took time out for a sandwich, unpack and phone recharge etc. before heading out. Beach just outside the hotel was too inviting and had a quick swim to test the water temp. Skies were cloud-free by now though the North wind was still bracing when I got out – decided it would be much more comfortable for longer spells in and out this trip with a 0.5mm top.. but it woke me up !

Resolved to explore the South West beaches and hit the road. Now I must have ended up on a country road on the way to Alior as it was barely 2-lane with some tar cracking at the edges, lots of debris and the occasional rock. Was about 3pm by now and keen not to lose much more time I didn't drive like a ‘cautious tourist'. Mistake . 3.30pm saw me jacking up the car with flashers going in a pull-in, mounting the spare after a puncture. Oops ! Dawned on me I was liable for the cost of replacement/repair too. Gaah ! Hopefully my own insurance would cover it.

Not having a clue where to get it fixed and on a short trip I was determined not to wind up at a garage in Mahon for the rest of the day and philosophically ‘asked for help'. Carrying on, as I reached Ferreries, in the middle of the island I saw an Industrial Estate sign with a petrol station. Instinct told me to go and ask there .. would you believe it there was a garage next door ! ... where no English at all was spoken. My appalling broken Spanish and gesticulating paid off and having established that the tyre was stone-ripped and irreparable I left the wheel with their promise to have the tyre replaced by closing at 7pm 8). You could have knocked me over with a feather !

Throwing caution to the wind once more, I made my way to the dirt-track car park of Cala Mitjana. ‘WOW' - beautiful spot. 8)8)8)8).

Beach quality was very high for the Med. There's always lots of sea-kelp – a sign of the good water quality. Went snorkelling off the beach round the coast and discovered little coves with miniature hidden beaches within. I do prefer to be active than lie on beaches for too long .. so climbed up towards the Cami de Cavalls, a 14th century coastal path which circumscribes the island.

Didn't get far before I had to stop. I'd found my ‘spot' for some serious quality “me time”.... waking up from a doze to this view is as good as it gets anywhere..

With all the kerfuffle with the car I'd not stocked up on water. In the absence of any facilities, having now well and truly ‘unwound' I decided to head back to the garage in plenty of time.
They were still waiting for the truck carrying the tyre to arrive so I decided to shimmy over the traditional stone wall on the opposite side of the road for a walk in the countryside to pass a ½ hour...

Incredible new roundabout nearly finished round the corner. I guess it's progress !

When I got back everything was done to perfection. Thanks to my mechanical heroes !

150 Euros the lighter I decided to go to El Mare de Deu del Toro (“El Toro”), the highest point on the island (you can drive up there). Figured it might be a good place to see the sunset. Was quite chilly on arrival and all but deserted. In Summer this is teeming with tacky souveniers and coach trips so a great time to see it.

The views were breathtaking.

... but there was an air of dilapidation coupled with cheap tourism alongside the charming Monastery – and a load of mobile phone masts right next door. The name ‘El Toro' was given by the Moslems but there's a later legend of a mysterious bull who helped save the image of the Virgin Mary that's worshipped in the monastery. Hmmm. It didn't have the peaceful vibe I had hoped for and I decided not to stay longer. Glad I hadn't hiked 358m up the winding roads on foot !

Checked out Mahon by car .. it was charming enough but wasn't feeling like traipsing the Port and cobbled streets. Grabbed a filled croissant from a local bakery to quell the hunger pains (seemed too early for dinner) and headed back to Cala en Porter and the Cova d'en Xoroi just round the corner.

Absolutely blown away by this place. Lamentably quiet, but with great piped chill-out music on the terraces cut into the Cliffside, on the way to caves half way down. A breathtaking spot to take in the Sunset and finally have that much needed cocktail ! Explored the inside caves, cozy lounge with glassed in crystalline formations and discoteca, which is open-air at the cliff end – must be the most breathtaking club venue I've ever seen. Being deserted, I sneaked into the ladies too – just to take in the amazing view from a panoramic window set in the rock by the wash basins - right out to the cliffs and open sea beyond. Decided maybe to go back the next night – 200 Italians at a White Party or not – so had a chat with the Manager and sorted myself a free guest list.

Now Menorca time is not Madrid time and by the time I arrived back at the hotel pretty much everywhere had stopped serving food. Once again Reception proved absolute gems and got me 2 pork loin bocadillos from the kitchen. Just about time for a couple of hours on the balcony with some beers and my laptop before an early night. Well.. as I'd been up all the previous night, was well ready for some kip !

Day 2

Woke to an early alarm feeling like a train wreck. Determined to get active today. I'd provisionally ‘signed up' for a kayaking expedition via online message to Dia Complert in Fornells, on the North coast . It was the annual Fiesta del Mar in Menorca and everywhere was giving discounts for various watersports. 35Euros for a half-day is a real bargain .


Took about 45minutes to get to Fornells, sited on a large bay and favoured by windsurfers and sailors. It was very calm at 9.30am .. but was to get windier later in the morning - with a stiff wind from the South East.

Parked free right outside, paid and got kitted up – we were planning on going to the Cova dels Anglesos out round the headland for some snorkelling and I knew darned fine the sea would likely be a little chillier out there. The sea tourers were fast open-top hilariously-named ‘Disco+' kayaks, far better for getting back on than those with a skirt but realistically no rolling so pretty much anyone can get on them.

http://rtmkayaks.com/products/sit-on-top/disco

It's always hard to know what best to wear when you do multiple activities – I settled on a very thin neoprene t-shirt & shorts with a pair of dry strides for a bit of extra comfort and which could come off if I wanted a swim. Turned out to be perfect combo. Any more I would have fried.


Introduced to my guide, Mai, a friendly hippie-haired girl from the Basque country with a calm and genuine demeanour 8) ... and a jaw-dropping speed on the water ! The rest of the group consisted of a couple of friendly young Dutch girls on holiday together – very fair-skinned and thankfully covered in suncream – the UV is fierce even now and combo of salt spray and direct sunshine quite formidable.


The girls had done some kayaking before. I wasn't asked .. just handed a paddle and directed to the kayak (cue please FFS don't flip it getting in moment !) .. I'm certainly no expert that's for sure – most of my watersports capers are in a motorboat (or behind it) or on a board so some trepidation - I think the gear made me look like someone who did it more often.


The workout began immediately as Mai raced ahead setting an arm-challenging pace. It dawned on me this was going to be no holiday picnic . At least I was managing better than the Dutch girls – who were clearly very fit but lagging even further behind ! After some friendly banter during the first kilometre to the Torre de Fornells, Mai cautioned that it was a “bit choppy” out at sea and if we got sea-sick there was little she could and we'd have to paddle back. I'm normally OK with that side of it.


The wind was staring to pick up as we crossed the bay and by the time we got round Sa Ponca the swells were growing too . We got about as far as the aptly-named es Morter and by this time the swells were a good 5ft+ and quite a challenge on the balance front – not to mention hard work against a cross-wind trying to blow us out to open sea.


Mai was thankfully not as far ahead as earlier ... as one of the girls capsized. Even turning the kayak round in those conditions was hard and we shouted to her to assist. Now I must admit to staying ‘put' alongside her mate – both of us grateful to still be relatively stable on ours ! A practice drill of re-mounting may in hindsight have been a good idea – the poor girl had 7 attempts to get back on with Mai holding the craft and by this time was getting tired and I'm sure pretty desperate .


I tried to remain nonchalant and not look round too often at her bikini bottom straddling the rear of the kayak in a most undignified pose ... figuring my penalty would probably be to capsize myself – the swells were really quite big by now!


Eventually Mai called over to me to come and help the rescue – mistakenly thinking I was more experienced than I was. I've certainly never had any training ! Decided safest option was a gradual paddle around in a wide circle which took a while but eventually got parallel with them both and grabbed the other side of her craft.
I'd seen a guide in Puerto Rico get some hefty Americans back onto clear canoes in the dark by tying crafts together for stability (albeit in calm waters) and figured it was probably a similar principle. So rising and falling in the swells we held the front of her kayak together as she shimmied over the rear. Her face was a picture of grief and I couldn't help but feel really sorry for her. We did both offer lots of words of reassurance and encouragement – and she got back on first attempt. What a relief !


Our brave Dutch companion said notwithstanding her ordeal she was good to continue 8) – but Mai said if she capsized again and the seas got any rougher we may not be able to do an assisted rescue so we all agreed to head back into the bay and focus on hidden beaches instead. Have to admit I was a bit relieved . Not being in the best shape after the Winter's excesses the prospect of hours of even higher winds and rougher seas wasn't something I was relishing by this point, and the kayaks we had taken were built for speed more than stability.
The rest of the trip in the shelter of the bay was much calmer – but with a wind either side-on or head-on (on the return) was still a real workout. I opted to work hard and stay ahead with Mai to allow paddle-breaks periodically to let the girls catch up ... got to rest now and again that way (WIMP !) . We pulled in twice in 4 ½ hours and covered about 8-9km. Each time for about 15 minutes.


The first was at a hidden sheltered beach only reachable by water. Absolutely idyllic.

Second was through mud flats to a red beach with white rocks called Cala Blanca – quickly exited for the opposite side of the inlet after a swarm of bees appeared (never seen before apparently !). Quick snack, drink, chill-out, chat about Ibiza and then back on the water to paddle home.

Must admit I was wrecked by the time we got back – must get a lot fitter ! But I felt good.

The Dutch girls were keen to go somewhere together in the afternoon, but they wanted to go to the place I went yesterday... and were staying on the opposite side of the island. So I decided to go my own way. Drove to Ciutadella, the second largest town in Menorca on the far West coast. The roads round it are great – rather like a ring road with spurs which take you to various locations in the West. Only thing is that to get from one of them to another often means a return to that ring road... or some hairy local dirt roads.


Armed with a useable spare tyre, I took the turning to Cala en Turqueta. It's quite a long way and the last section to the car park (about a kilometre from the beach – or felt like that anyway) is a dirt track. Little snack bar at the car park gave me a lovely Bocadillo and iced tea.

The walk to the beach is beautiful and shaded. When you arrive you are greeted with this ...

Long swim and some beach time under cloudless skies (not least to try to deal with the t-shirt lines from my morning on the water – flipping heck the forearms and shins have taken a real toasting !)

before once again exploring the Cami de Cavalls nearby.

Wild Gladiolus almost over .. Summer's just around the corner 8).


As many hikers as beach-bums, it was relatively busy for an isolated beach in off-season. But really glad I came – it's exceptionally lovely .


I drive a bit round Ciutadella on the return journey but decide not to linger. Not in the mood again and determined to get a decent meal today. The 45-km drive across to Mahon takes nearly an hour. In Ibiza it's much quicker to get between the main centres due to great roads and layouts.


Heading towards Binibequer – now starving I get waylaid at a local produce outlet and walk out with a whole Menorcan ewe's milk cheese, a pricey bottle of local 2004 Merlot and a lovely whole sobrassada (cured meat sausage) . Plus a recommendation from the proprietor of a good restaurant for fish in Punta Prima – the Casa Fermin. Time for a treat . Local Balearic rock lobsters are very strange-looking things. However, their meat is slightly pink and make an amazing meal. Menorca is famous for its lobster stew and it would be a crime not to try it. At 35Euros made with frozen local lobster (70Euros if you want live) it's not the cheapest thing on the menu.. but it's absolutely delicious. 8)


Accompanied by Pomada – Menorca makes great gin and this is basically local gin and lemonade.. which went surprisingly well with the meal . You could also get a whole grilled seabass served in a cast iron pan with sliced potatoes in typical sauce for 13Euros. Really good value to be fair.


As I leave the proprietor of the next door restaurant (who I quizzed for prices on the way to mine) insists I come in and look at his kitchen. He proudly shows me the clear-eyed catch of bream and bass and hands me a live rock lobster to check out, and we chat about catching techniques. The lobsters are deep in Menorca and you need scuba gear – so probably partly explains the price. We chat about market prices and mark-ups - says he's really would like to serve me next time and will give me a rock bottom price if I come back. I may well take him up on it. Top marks for effort there 8) !


Back at the hotel I'm debating whether to go out for the night .. or get a decent night's sleep. I have to be up at 7.30am to make my flight home. Decide to pack everything up and find space for all the purchases before deciding. Come 1am after half a beer the guestlist at Cova d'en Xoroi is too tempting – I'll just go have a look – it's only a 3-minute drive along the coast after all.


As I hit the main square about 500 metres from the hotel, they are there ... the blue lights !!! Hope to god it's been long enough since those Pomadas . There's nothing else doing in Cala en Porter so I guess camping out on the intersection to the only nightclub in town when it's open is as much fun as it gets ! Not the Guardia Civil thank god .. I get handed a breathyliser mouthpiece and ticked off for not having my rental agreement and passport with me !


It reads 0.04 (must have a very fast metabolism !). I'm told the limit is 0.25 so it's OK. Thank f*ck I wasn't wasted. Kind of put a damper on my appetite for p!ssing up all night at the club – tho' I couldn't be bothered to park back at the hotel and walk either. Will limit myself to a couple and stay at least 2 hours. Should be OK (I hope !)


The main discoteca is in full swing when I arrive and there's a hefty presence of ‘beautiful' Italians dressed in white for the White Party. Thankfully a load of local Menorcans too (not in white) so I'm not out of place in my rather casual attire.


An 8,50 Euro vodka-redbull isn't at all overpriced.. especially as I get an “Ibiza measure” . Man it tastes good 8). What strikes me most is how stunning the location is at night.

The discoteca cave opening in the Cliffside isn't closed in so you can stand and dance virtually in the open beside the wooden safety rail.

The music's commercial – but a few good tunes played. Hearing Levels .. twice .. was very much the low point tho' ! With a cool crowd and some techy vibes this place would be heaven.


Gazing out to sea from the discoteca the sky was clear and starlit 8). The cliffs illuminated – and sea-birds periodically flying out from their homes and diving in the shafts of light 8)8)8)8). The loud commercial music almost seemed ‘wrong' against this scene of sheer natural magnificence .


Another vodka redbull had me dancing – when the Spanish music came on a la Supermartxe, the Italian numbers dwindled and the locals got into their Fiesta stride. The atmosphere was actually very lively but by 3.30am I decided to brave the trip home , betting that the island Policia would be at home in bed by now and that I had probably danced off most of the booze . Crept up on the main square from a different direction and nipping out to check, I was defo right on one count - they had disappeared


Emergency wake-up call ordered finally hit the sack at 4.

Day 3

Home time. Getting up at 7.30am was tough . I was stiff from kayaking and a tad groggy . Last night's pre-packing paid off though and I settled up and was on the road by a little after 8am. The police car from last night was back – driving round the ‘island' at the end of the road to the beach, where my hotel was.

Car return went without a hitch. Only got charged 23Euros for ¼ tank use of fuel, which was way less than I was braced for . I didn't mention the tyre as it was all so perfectly fixed !


Bid Menorca a fond farewell – it had far exceeded my expectations. In under 48hours I'd swum, snorkelled, sunbathed, hiked, kayaked, taken in some history, had sundowners and danced the night away in one of the most awesome clubs in the world, and eaten local lobster stew with Pomada in a fantastic restaurant. 8)8)8) OK, b*ggered a tyre, had it fixed and been breathylized too – but we'll overlook those little challenges !


The nightlife and parties aren't Ibiza .. but Menorca doesn't purport to be. However, I found plenty for what I wanted this trip (especially as it was mid-week) and wished I'd stayed longer. There's much more on at the weekends in Mahon so if it's not a club-centric trip you're after, and you're willing to get out and about to discover what it has to offer, Menorca is another little gem in the Balearics... 8)


And I may well be back for some more watersports – so much more to discover !

Great review 8)

 

[icebaer69]

Space Menorca opening soon
http://www.spaceibiza.com/en/news/3...gura-en-menorca-su-primera-franquicia-europea

"...
Space Menorca will open its doors in mid June 2012 ...

... The club, with planned capacity for 600 people, will be located in the harbour of Ciutadella ...

... the club will have an area of 850m2, including two outdoor terraces ...

... “Space Menorca is similar to Space Ibiza in the quality of the musical product:
both in terms of the sound system and of the artists' performance”
explained the director of the Menorcan club, Nico Vilà ...

... the club has been equipped with one of the most powerful and best reputed
sound systems on the market, developed by Funktion One especially for Space Menorca ...

Other details of Space Ibiza, such as the Martin lighting with LED technology or videomapping
have also been exported to Space Menorca.

... Space Menorca will have its own personality adapted to the island's characteristics ...

... The club will be located in 1000m2 building in the Pla de Sant Joan,
a former orchard garden in the emblematic port of Ciutadella.

The club will be fully integrated into the surrounding space,
as the exterior aesthetics of the building have not be changed,
but rather have been restored respecting the ancient setting
of the tower, arches, and vaulted spaces.
The gardens and original irrigation channels will also be preserved.

Here lies the project's charm:
in the combination of the rustic Menorcan exteriors with a minimalist, Mediterranean room
that will have much in common with the famous room El Salón and the Terrace in Space Ibiza.

Another example of respect for local aesthetics is the use of Menorcan dry stone and
the typical chairs from the island called “Cocarrossas”.

The club itself will have about 850m2 available for its activity.

Inside, the space is divided into three areas:
two terraces on two levels and an indoor room dedicated to dance music.

In total there will be four bars, dressing rooms, VIP areas and a public car park
of over 5000m2.

On the two chill-out style outdoor terraces, of 200m2 and 3000m2,
you can enjoy a drink in a more relaxed atmosphere,
decorated with a mixture of Indonesian and Menorcan furniture ....
..."





within the last years space ibiza has lost most of it´s mojo for me,
but ffs ==>

space menorca sounds A-f-u-c-k-i-n-g-M-A-Z-I-N-G 8)

Wow - some interesting info coming out there .. gradually the music seems to be spreading 8).

Ric - that's exactly what I was thinking .. just had to snap it

JV - It has it's downsides too .

Just back from a 2-nighter (36-hours there job) to Empuriabrava / Ceret (France) / Barcelona ... some serious travel boot-camp action this time - might post up a (shorter) review of that if I get the time . You know it's been a serious one when you don't get online at all for the whole trip .
