Menorca is a true Mediterranean jewel. It has more than 100 stunning beaches and hidden coves where you can easily access and take a refreshing dip in its crystal-clear waters. Specifically, when viewing Menorca by motorcycle you will be able to reach charming unspoiled villages and experience in depth what is considered by many as the most authentic and relaxed of the Balearic Islands.
Menorca has rural roads leading from inland farmland to the quiet bays and rocky coastline.
Touring Menorca by motorcycle will allow you to explore the architecture of the colonial era such as the defensive towers, as well as introduce you to the local gastronomy.
Specifically, in the Ciutadella you will see a typical British fortress in the Castellar Tower, built to support the Castle of San Nicolau in order to improve the views of the coast. Unlike the other towers, it can be accessed through a submerged passageway that lies underground and is completely invisible to enemy ships when viewed from the sea, making it more dangerous and effective.
Another magical place is the Sanitja Tower on the north side of the island. Although the tower is quite deteriorated, there are still remains of a building that must have been the residence of the cavalry around it, and the surroundings are also very beautiful.
But this is only a small part of what you can see in Menorca by motorcycle. Below, we have prepared an itinerary of the most emblematic sites of the island, which you can visit by motorcycle.
