WHAT TO DO IN MENORCA DURING THE SPRING?
QUIET BEACHES
Menorca has some of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean, which are much quieter and more accessible in spring than in summer. You can enjoy the white sands (or red to the north) with wonderful walks and refreshing baths in the crystal clear waters.
Amagatay has a privileged location since the hotel is located in the center-south of the island and allows you to quickly reach any corner of it.
Also many roads such as Macarella , Punta Nati Lighthouse or Favaritx Lighthouse are still open to private cars.
History and culture
Menorca has a rich history and culture that is reflected in its monuments and historic buildings. Walks through the historic quarters of Mahón and Ciutadella. Discover the Menorcan traditions of Holy Week and watch the processions with their music and religious songs.
You can enjoy the spring season of the emblematic Teatre Principal de Maó, the oldest opera house in Spain, where it also hosts the Menorca Jazz Festival in spring.
LOCAL EXPERIENCES
In Menorca many craft trades are still preserved. From fishermen who go out first thing in the morning with their boat to producers of artisan cheese. Throughout the year, from Amagatay we organize experiences so that you experience the most local Menorca.
SUNSETS
Spring is a time of change. The days are beginning to lengthen and this fact gives us the opportunity to enjoy different sunsets.
We have the last opportunity to see the sunset over the sea from the Binibeca or Binigaus bufador. On the other hand, from the middle of April, we can once again see the sunset from Cala Morell or the Cavalleria lighthouse.
As of Easter, many beach clubs open their doors and since it is the beginning of the season, you can enjoy them quietly without the summer crowds. At Amagatay, we have a lounge bar where you can enjoy one of the best sunsets while enjoying a refreshing cocktail.
ENJOY THE LOCAL GASTRONOMY
In April, many of the restaurants begin to open and prepare for the new season, so it is essential to go on a gastronomic route around the island.
Menorca has a varied and delicious gastronomy that includes typical dishes such as lobster stew , oliagua or the famous Menorcan pastries for lovers of sweets.
During Easter Week, the formatjades de brossat are very typical, round tartlets filled with a mixture of fresh cheese and lemon.
It is also well known for its cheeses and wines, so you cannot miss trying some of these local products.
Hiking
Menorca is a very green island with many rural areas that are worth visiting. It has a large number of trails and routes that run through its landscape, allowing you to enjoy the flowering of forests and fields.
With the mild spring temperatures, you can do a section of the Camí de Cavalls, a 185 km trail that runs along the coast of the island, passing fifty coves and many points of interest without the stifling summer heat.
At this time it is also advisable to visit natural parks such as the S'Albufera des Grau Natural Park.
MAKE A GETAWAY TO ANOTHER ISLAND
If you have time, you can take the opportunity to make a getaway to one of the other Balearic islands, such as Ibiza o Formentera , and get to know its beaches, towns and wonderful landscapes.
