Hi All

We're back to Cala'n Bosch for a fortnight in August for the 2nd time (4th to Menorca). I'll be interested to hear the recommendations of places to visit as I plan to hire a car for the 1st time this year. 5 months to go (not counting weeks yet!), can't wait :sun2

Hi,

We are going at Easter, then June this year.We are based in Son Bou, but if your going to hire a car,Mahon is a great day out,on certain days they have a market, there are plenty of shops and it has a great harbour.The glass bottom boat is worth a trip and the restaurants by the harbour are good to.

Ciutadella is worth a visit, and the beach at Cala Galdana is beautiful, also Fornells is quite a nice place to pass an evening.

Alaior has a market night and you can sit in the square having a drink and listening to the band playing.

Everytime we visit we we find something new, explore,have fun and enjoy.

I went to a couple of the prehistoric places last time and liked it. They don't take that long to go through so children wouldn't get too bored. But I guess you have to like that type of thing (as I do) too enjoy.

Maybe most people that go to this lovely island go again and again, :smile: and therfore no one else is able to get there. It is already fully booked. :wink:

My sister works for a well known travel agents and she says that bookings are about 35% down on this time last year, what with the exchange rate/intrest rates it is only to be expected....it seems a lot of people are tightening the belts................I know myself that when i went to Spain in Sept i got 1.46 euros to the pound, now it is something like 1.24 ( it still wont stop us going )

Not planning to visit this year. We have been 4 times in as many years, toured the whole island and seen and photographed just about everything worth seeing (180 photos uploaded to the Menorca photo gallery to date) so taking a break for a while to visit other places. We will definitely return in a few years though as it's a lovely island.

Were going to cala en bosch last week in august, staying at the Marinda gardens Hotel. First time to Menorca, and we are really looking forward to it. Trying to talk hubby into hiring a car so we can explore the island, especially Ciatudella, which looks lovely with the gothic type buildings.

Forgot to put the date in the earlier post.

We're off to Cala Galdana for two weeks at the end of July.

First time my holiday has been over the school holidays, so wanted a quieter location, rather than mainland Spain. Used the hotel reviews to chose the hotel and settled with the Confortel Anabel.

Taking 3 kids (10,9 & 4). The 4 yr old will like the kids club, the 10 yr old won't be out of the pool. We've booked with First Choice and staying in one of the Kids Den rooms. Should be a little better for the kids.

Anybody got any top tips on things we mustn't miss while on the Island? Or any ideas of what trips First Choice will try and sell (and are they worth it!)
