Apartment Rentals in Menorca – Spain

Sunday, December 13th, 2009

For those of you interested in ancient ruins, Menorca has a greater quantity than probably any other Mediterranean island. It has been described as a huge open-air museum. The taulas, massive T-shaped rock monoliths, the talyots, prehistoric watchtowers on the top of hills, and the navetas, prehistoric burial chambers, abound all over the island. The naveta of Es Tudons is a short walk off the main trunk road just outside Ciudadela and is one of the oldest buildings in Europe.

Anyone with a hire car should take the opportunity to drive up Monte Toro, the highest point on the island, just outside Mercadal. Splendid views of the island are guaranteed and on a really clear day the mountains of Majorca can be seen.

Menorquins are great music lovers and there are always opportunities to hear and see choirs, chamber music groups, organists and even opera.

Menorca has much to offer her visitors – from quiet unspoilt coves and prehistoric villages to sub-aqua diving in underwater caverns and shopping in historic towns.

Menorca is prized for the tranquillity of its numerous beaches. This works out to well over a hundred of them. From tiny coves to vast stretches of sand. Even the most populated beaches are relatively unspoilt and the water is normally crystal clear and aquamarine – exactly as advertised on the postcards and brochures.

Rental properties are easy to find if you search on the Internet. It is best to go self catering for the best cultural experience. Self catering apartments or house rentals direct from the rental properties owner will usually be the most affordable.

Whether you are looking for a long or short term rental, you should be able to find your ideal apartment in Menorca. Contact the property owner direct for more information.

Spanish Holidays Off To Flying Start For 2007

Wednesday, December 9th, 2009

With fresh challenges every year from new and old competitors to take away market share, Spain increased her number of visitors in the first couple of months of 2007 for what could be a good year for a country that has been the favourite destination for Europeans for nearly fifty years.
The visitor numbers were so good that it broke new records for Spain, with 4 per cent more holiday makers in January 2007 compared to 2007, and a total of 2.8 million tourists overall.
The most popular area of Spain was off the mainland, the Canary Islands.
The Canary Islands consist of Tenerife, Fueteventura, Lanzarote and Gran Ganaria. The Canaries enjoy good weather in the winter months due to her geographical location near Africa, and Many British, Dutch and German tourists take villa and hotel holidays for a week November to mid March.
The Costa del Sol, a perennial favourite of the British seeking a winter sunshne break surprisingly saw a near 5 per cent dip in UK visitor numbers, but overall enjoyed a near 6 per cent increase in tourists.
The Balearic Islands recorded a rise in visitors of just over 1 per cent.
The Balearics consist of Menorca (the smallest island), Majorca and Ibiza. The small rise compared to the Canary Islands isn’t too much of a surprise as Menorca has a season that traditionally is at its peak early May to end September, but is now trying to extend that from mid April to mid October.
Majorca
Majorca is hoping to boost visitor numbers this summer by increasing the level of competition at the island’s SuperYacht Cup. As well as drawing extra tourists for the event itself it adds an extra attraction for those holidaymakers already on the island, adding to the possibility of a return visit in future years – and with more destinations to choose from in recent years repeat visitors has become an important strategy in tourist locations.
As part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca has welcomed many visitors back to live full time on the island. Menorca property has proved popular too, for those looking for a gentler pace of life than big sister Mallorca.
Property prices in Mallorca are similar to Menorca property, with a range of apartments and villas in both rural and town locations, and with twenty golf courses plenty of golf course developments too on Mallorca.
Menorca has just the one golf course, recently extended to eighteen holes, and is located in Son Park, which has a choice of hotels, apartments and villas for holiday makers.
The cost of flying to Mallorca has come down in recent years from most European countries due to low cost airlines, especially in the island’s core tourist areas of the United Kingdom and Germany, and last year easyJet started direct flights from London’s Gatwick Airport to the sister island of Menorca, as well as serving Mallorca itself.
Despite competition from other destinantions, Mallorca looks set to remain a favourite holiday spot for some time to come.

Menorca Welcomes New 2007 Brit Tourists

Tuesday, December 8th, 2009

2007 has proved to be a good year for Spanish tourism, and with Majorca doing particularly well, the sister island of Menorca is doing her best not to be overshadowed.
With official figures some way off, the general feeling in the hotels and holidays trade is that, like Majorca, an increase in the number of visitors compared to 2006 is likely.
But privately run companies often have a quicker gauge on market trends than government bodies, and easyJet, one of Europe’s best known airlines, has begun a new route to Menorca from the island’s important UK market. The new route flies from Newcastle in the north-east of England to Menorca’s capital Mahon, and some 5000 holiday makers are anticipated to be using the service during this season. The Newcastle service to Menorca is in addition to the airline’s existing flights in the UK to the island from London’s Gatwick Airport, Liverpool and Bristol.
In a further boost for Menorca, this time from the financial services sector, one of Britain’s best known banks and mortgage provider is to open three new offices on the Spanish islands of the Canaries plus Menorca to meet demand for Britons looking to buy a home in Spain.
The decision by the Halifax was taken from data showing a trend towards Britons buying homes overseas, with Spain the most popular choice.
Part of the decision was to open in Menorca, the quietest of the three Balearic Islands. Commenting on the move a local travel guide commented:
‘While Majorca and Ibiza are possibly better known than Menorca, it’s perhaps not so surprising that the bank has decided to open an office on the island. The typical buyer for property in Menorca is normally older than that for Majorca and Ibiza, which could mean they are hoping to service their investments and pensions along with a normal account – especially for those moving full time to Menorca.’
Commenting on the new bank branch in Menorca, the bank said that the opening of branches away from mainland Spain is an important step in the development of their branch network, and that they will continue to target the Spanish islands in addition to their Spanish mainland business.
Once bought, Menorca villas are often let out to holidaymakers, with the season generally running from May to end September.
The three Balearic Islands of Menorca, Majorca and Ibiza might be close to each other, but they are all different in character and the type of tourist they typically attract.
A surprise is that the amount of time spent on Ibiza by each tourist is longer than on Menorca and Majorca – destroying the myth that Ibiza is primarily for long weekends or short trips for a couple of nights in the club.
Recent findings by the Balearics Tourist Authority show that after Ibiza, Menorca visitors stay on average for 11 days, with Majorca just behind. And the same pattern emerges for spending per day, with Ibiza top, Majorca second, and Menorca last.
The amount spent by Ibiza tourists averaged 94 Euros a day – a huge contribution to the island’s economy, looked on enviously by Majorca and Menorca. But with new banks and flights Menorca might be starting to catch her sisters up.

Party Island Ibiza Outspends Neighbours

Monday, December 7th, 2009

Young Europeans flock to Ibiza for the island’s clubs and nightlife, and they are quite happy to pay for it.
Often still living at home, and with plenty of disposable income, young Brits, Italians and Germans are spending more per person on their trips than the conventional family on their villa and hotel breaks on neighbouring islands Menorca and Majorca.
But perhaps the biggest surprise is that the amount of time spent on Ibiza by each tourist is longer than on Menorca and Majorca – destroying the myth that Ibiza is primarily for long weekends or short trips for a couple of nights in the club.
The findings by the Balearics Tourist Authority show that after Ibiza, Menorca visitors stay on average for 11 days, with Majorca just behind. And the same pattern emerges for spending per day, with Ibiza top, Majorca second, and Majorca last.
The amount spent by Ibiza tourists averaged 94 Euros a day – a huge contribution to the island’s economy.
Commenting on the figures, a Menorca travel guide says both sets of figures will surprise many who steer away from Ibiza because of her reputation.
Family Island
‘Of the three Balearic Islands, Menorca is known as the quiet one, the type of island where you take your family on holiday if there aren’t any mid to late teens who need entertaining, which would be more suited to Majorca. Ibiza is well known in Europe as a clubbing destination.’
Menorca villas are often let out to holidaymakers, with the season generally running from May to end September.
As part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca has welcomed many visitors back to live full time on the island. Menorca property has proved popular too, for those looking for a gentler pace of life than big sister Mallorca.

Yachting World Boost For Menorca 2007 Tourism

Sunday, December 6th, 2009

The Spanish island of Menorca has long been regarded as the quietest of the three islands that make up the Spanish Balearics, but the holiday isle, much favoured by British and other European tourists, is set to steal the limelight for a while at least with the King’s Cup for Classic Yachts.
The sailing regatta is due to be held in the Port of Mahon – Mahon is the capital of Menorca – ideally suited for sailing and one of the world’s best known deep water harbours.
The harbour is often a port of call for cruise ships touring the Mediterranean.
The Classic Yachts Weekend includes three different classes of boat. Vintage yachts, which were launched before 1949, Claasic Yachts that were built before 1975, and at the organisers’ discretion Spirit of Tradition Yachts.
The timing of the weekend is good for Menorca. Visitor numbers have been down in recent years, and in an attempt to lengthen the season and make up numbers the island is trying to extend her normal peak times from May to September to April through October.
It has also seen the success of similar yacht events in neighbouring Mallorca.
This summer’s SuperYacht Cup off Mallorca will be the most competitive for the yachts since the event began ten years ago.
With 40 entries so far, and another 20 possibles by the time the yachting weekend comes along, will ensure races to remember both for the yacht crews and spectactors, with plenty of social events organised for the evenings.
The organisers have appointed a Race Officer for this year’s event, to move the image from one of fun and socialisng, to that of a serious yacht competition, with the social side as active as ever.
The new officer has experience of helping to organise regattas in Cowes, on the UK’s Isle of Wight, one of the most famous locations in the yachting world, has sailing experience himself and brings to the Mallorca Supercup a drive and level of experience necessary to meet the organisers ambitions. Menorca might need a person of similar calibre to promote her own events.
As part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca has welcomed many visitors back to live full time on the island. Menorca property has proved popular too, for those looking for a gentler pace of life than big sister Mallorca.
Property prices in Mallorca are similar to Menorca property, with a range of apartments and villas in both rural and town locations, and with twenty golf courses plenty of golf course developments too on Mallorca.

Despite competition from other destinations, Mallorca looks set to remain a favourite holiday spot for some time to come, and Menorca will hope that some of her success is passed onto her sister island in the Balearic Islands.

Making the Move to Menorca

Friday, December 4th, 2009

Millions of people per year go to the Balearic Island of Menorca to relax, unwind and get away from it all. But why are so many people now buying property in Menorca? There could be several reasons ranging from second homes, beach homes or even investment properties. People in general love the culture and evident history Menorca proudly displays.
Menorca’s Culture
The primary languages spoken on Menorca today are Catalan and Spanish. Due to her colorful past, some of the most vibrant celebrations in the world are held on Menorca. Two of the most famous and traditional summertime festivals are:
* Sant Joan, held in Ciutadella on June 24 includes the beautiful Menorcan horse as an integral part of the event.
* Dia de Virgen de Carmen is the feast of the patron saint of sailors. This festival is held all over the Balearic Islands in mid July.
The Menorcan horse has been carefully bred to have a very elegant shape and a coat of blackest black. Its main and tail are long, black and silky. These horses are a very prominent part of most Menorcan festivals, as they are a very distinct reminder of the island’s history and culture.
Healthy Mediterranean Diet
Gin is a favorite drink, especially during festes when it is mixed with bitter lemon. The resulting drink is called Pomada, locally. Low to moderate amounts of wine are consumed as well. The Mediterranean diet includes high consumption of fruits, vegetables, breads, cereals and locally grown potatoes, beans, nuts and seeds. Olive oil is a very important source of monounsaturated fat in the Menorcan diet. Red meats are very rarely included in the typical Mediterranean diet, while fish, poultry and dairy products are consumed in low to moderate amounts.
Lower incidences of heart disease, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels in the Mediterranean are believed to be due to the diet. The Menorcan lifestyle is generally more active than other parts of the world, resulting in lower death rates as well as lower obesity rates. In fact, Menorca is home to several citizens who are over 100 years old.
Menorca’s History
Menorca was named by the Romans. The name aptly means ‘Little One’. It is the smaller of the Balearic Islands. Majorca means ‘Large One’ and is the largest of the Balearics. Menorca’s documented history dates back to around 2100 BC and some of the oldest structures on the island are believed to be approximately 3,500 years old. More than 200 towers, believed to have been siege towers, still stand.
Menorca is home to a very large collection of megalithic structures. Some of the monuments include navetas, or chamber tombs, that date back to the early Bronze Age. Taules are t-shaped stone monuments that include a tall vertical stone with a long horizontal stone lying on top of it. At least 274 talaiots have been found on the island. A talaiot is a stone structure that was used for defensive purposes. Other possible purposes are not clearly defined or even understood.
Menorca has been a strategic point for refugees, pirates and leaders staging attacks on other countries. It has been under the rule of many distant civilizations including the Romans, the Moors, Britain, Spain, and even no official rule at all in its earliest days. The many coves and beaches provided shelter and a home for pirates. Evidence of piracy can be found in the waters surrounding the island. Divers often enjoy the ability to witness this little part of the past.

Mallorca Tourists Sail In For 2007

Wednesday, December 2nd, 2009

The summer 2007 SuperYacht Cup, held off Palma de Mallorca, will be the most competitive for the yachts since the event began ten years ago.
With 40 entries so far, and another 20 possibles by the time the yachting weekend comes along, will ensure races to remember both for the yacht crews and spectactors, with plenty of social events organised for the evenings.
The organisers have appointed a Race Officer for this year’s event, to move the image from one of fun and socialisng, to that of a serious yacht competition, with the social side as active as ever.
The new officer has experience of helping to organise regattas in Cowes, on the UK’s Isle of Wight, one of the most famous locations in the yachting world, has sailing experience himself and brings to the Mallorca Supercup a drive and level of experience necessary to meet the organisers ambitions.
Palma in Mallorca is well suited for sailing. Set in the Mediterranean, with Menorca and Ibiza as close neighbours, it’s an ideal base for the Mediterranean.
The actual bay of Palma is ideally suited for the Cup races, and is some ten miles (nearly 15 kilometres) wide, with a naturally occuring wind – vital for good yachting!
As well as Mallorca, the yachting world has a busy year ahead in Europe, with Cowes Week on the Isle of Wight, and for the megayachts the Monaco Yacht Show in September just two of the occasions to look forward to.
The SuperYacht Cup is a welcome event for the holiday island of Mallorca. As well as drawing extra tourists for the event itself it adds an extra attraction for those holidaymakers already on the island, adding to the possibility of a return visit in future years – and with more destinations to choose from in recent years repeat visitors has become an important strategy in tourist locations.
As part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca has welcomed many visitors back to live full time on the island. Menorca property has proved popular too, for those looking for a gentler pace of life than big sister Mallorca.

Star Studded Holiday Resorts

Tuesday, November 24th, 2009

As mundane human beings with mundane jobs, everyone needs a holiday from time to time. Prime holiday season is approaching, and some are looking for the best places to holiday and maybe catch a glimpse of a few celebrities. Some major hotspots for celebrities on holiday are Majorca, Menorca, Lake Como and the Canary Islands.
Lake Como, Italy is one of the most romantic holiday spots in the world. The lake itself is of glacial origin and the third largest lake in Italy. Its 400 meter depths makes it one of the deepest lakes in Europe. Lake Como is very well known for the attractive, historic villas that line its shores.
Designer Donatella Versace owns a home on Lake Como near the burial place of her late brother Gianni. Actor George Clooney is also among the stars who have purchased homes in Lake Como in recent years. Singer Avril Lavigne and husband Deryck Whimbey honeymooned in Lake Como a few years ago.
The Canary Islands are also a major celebrity holiday destination. The islands have played host to several celebrities on holiday, including Jade Goody, Coleen McLoughlin, and Michelle and Andy Scot-Lee. Dancing on Ice’s Suzanne Shaw also frequently vacations in Gran Canaria. Lanzarote’s Club La Santa, a well known sports and leisure complex, is where you’re more likely to find sporting greats like Colin Jackson, Dwain Chambers, Jonathan Edwards and Jenson Button.
Each year Lanzarote also hosts a very large classical music festival, which draws stars from near and far. The festival is generally held from January to March with concerts in Lanzarote, Gran Canaria and the Balearic Islands.
The Balearic Islands of Majorca and Menorca are often frequented by celebrities. Although Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones own a home in neighbouring Majorca, they often visit Menorca for some time away from home. Spain’s Prince Felipe and Princess Letizia have enjoyed family holiday time in Menorca.
In fact, many celebrities have homes on Majorca. English-born actress Patsy Kensit loves Majorca and said, ‘Every summer I take my children to Majorca, one of the most beautiful places that I’ve been to.’
One of Hollywood’s favourite couples, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones own an estimated $8 million property on the west coast of Majorca. Douglas has also served as a Tourist Ambassador for the island.
Cynthia Charles, former wife of Beatle John Lennon and mother of Julian Lennon, visits Majorca quite often. Other celebrities who enjoy their holiday time in Majorca are Spice Girl Mel B, Michael Schumaker, Claudia Schiffer, Annie Lennox, Suzy Quattro and Boris Becker just to name a few. Most recently, Harrison Ford and girlfriend Calista Flockhart have been spending holiday time there.
Celebrities aren’t the only famous people you may see in Majorca. Royalty from around the globe also enjoy the occasional holiday to the lovely Spanish island.
The late Princess Grace of Monaco and Prince Rainier spent their honeymoon on Majorca. The king, queen, princess and prince of Austria recently visited Majorca with Princess Letizia’s baby Leonor. The queen joined the princess for some shopping in Palma de Majorca’s busiest commercial area. The late Princess Diana of Wales also made frequent trips to Majorca. Former President Bill Clinton made an official visit to Majorca during his tenure in office.

New 2007 Flights For European Club Capital

Monday, November 23rd, 2009

Clubbers from around Europe, and especially from the UK, descend upon Ibiza in the summer months for a week – and sometimes two – of non stop partying.
Ibiza runs second only to the UK’s main cities of London, Manchester and Liverpool in terms of popularity for clubbers, and some of the Ibiza clubs are as well known as any in the UK.
Demand for flights to Ibiza has been high enough in recent years for a low cost airline to start two new services from the UK to Ibiza, which should see the number of tourists on the island rise this year.
The two new routes are from Edinburgh in Scotland twice weekly, and London’s Luton Airport with both routes offering a daily service.
Announcing the new routes, a spokesman for the airline said that the famous Ibiza club season gets going at the end of June, and is still the best place to party in Europe. For the quiet life, head inland to the north coast of the island, where you find some of Spain’s most beautiful landscape rolling into the Mediterranean.
Talking about Ibiza’s neighbouring island and equally well known holiday destination Majorca, where they have been offering a low cost service for some years, the airline said of Majorca’s capital, Palma, that it is the elegant and cosmopolitan capital of Majorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands, and is known for its beaches, climate, cultural and traditional influences. The warm climate of Palma makes it a popular destination, with something for everyone.
As well as Majorca and Ibiza, the airline also offers a service to the third Balearic Island, Menorca.
‘Of the three Balearic Islands, Menorca is known as the quiet one, the type of island where you take your family on holiday if there aren’t any mid to late teens who need entertaining, which would be more suited to Majorca. Ibiza is well known in Europe as a clubbing destination.’ Say one travel guide for Menorca and Majorca.
Menorca villas are often let out to holidaymakers, with the season generally running from May to end September.
As part of the Balearic Islands, Mallorca has welcomed many visitors back to live full time on the island. Menorca property has proved popular too, for those looking for a gentler pace of life than big sister Mallorca.
Property prices in Mallorca are similar to Menorca property, with a range of apartments and villas in both rural and town locations, and with twenty golf courses plenty of golf course developments too on Mallorca.
Menorca has just the one golf course, recently extended to eighteen holes, and is located in Son Park, which has a choice of hotels, apartments and villas for holiday makers.
The three Balearic Islands of Menorca, Majorca and Ibiza might be close to each other, but they are all different in character and the type of tourist they typically attract.
A surprise is that the amount of time spent on Ibiza by each tourist is longer than on Menorca and Majorca – destroying the myth that Ibiza is primarily for long weekends or short trips for a couple of nights in the club.
The findings by the Balearics Tourist Authority show that after Ibiza, Menorca visitors stay on average for 11 days, with Majorca just behind. And the same pattern emerges for spending per day, with Ibiza top, Majorca second, and Majorca last.
The amount spent by Ibiza tourists averaged 94 Euros a day – a huge contribution to the island’s economy, which could be furthered with the new routes from Edinburgh and London.
