Menorca Holiday Tip
Mahon will mostly be written on timetables, signposts as Maó it's correct local name. Also posted in the local paper Ultima Hora Menorca towards the back pages are most of the islands bus timetables. You will nearly always find a copy of this in a spanish cafe bar ( any day in season will do ) - make notes don't take paper as its there for all to read. If you are staying longer than a week take a trip on this good network and see some of the other resorts/towns first hand.Nightime Entertainment
As with most resorts in Menorca, evening organised entertainment here is generally to be found in the resort' hotels but nothing that would ever compare to the neon jungle of the popular resorts along the south coast of Majorca. Mahon and Ciutadella however offer something for everyone, but with none of the "binge drink clubbing" to be found on Ibizia and Majorca.
In the resort of Calan Blanes you will find the popular Plaza Domingo, a themed plaza, with an American sports bar, a quiet chill-out area, typical Irish pub, Spanish tapas bar, Mexican Cantina, an African Cocktail bar. It has a childrens play area, with all sorts of toys and games to keep the children occupied. These include ride-on toys, books, Nintendo Wii, PlayStation, and there is a Mini Disco in the early evening. Keep the children entertained within a safe environment while you sit back and enjoy a drink or snack from one of the bars.

Ciutadella
An taste of former elegant times with fine old spanish palaces, moorish influences, a wonderful old centre and a charming little harbour. Ciutadella was the original capital of the island lying at the western edge of the island looking out to its bigger neighbour Mallorca. A superb contrast to the beach and holiday resort. Great atmosphere and shopping and a place to wander the pedestrianised old city and its many narrow streets with hidden shops and Cafe treats. Also competes with Mahon for the title of the best music bars and venues on the island. The scene for the spectacular Sant Joan festival in June, when stunning native black horses parade through the streets and the brave try to "touch the horses' heart" as it rears in front of them.

Cala Morells
A small quiet fishing village resort on the north west coast set in dramatic rocky coastlines. Best known for the extensive man made (Bronze and Iron ages) cave dwellings nearby that give a real sense of cave "living" ( though many caves were also for burial ). Some are sophisticated with central roof columns and 'windows'. Some are obviously younger and larger, cut with more advanced metal tools, but the smaller older ones gives a view into another world. A good place to combine with a visit to the beautiful virgin beach of Algaiarens and walks through the very attractive valleys of Vall de Algaiarens.
By Bus from Ciutadella ( Placa dels Pins ) Torres Line 60 circa 15 mins 1.75 Euro single ( 2010 )
Ciutadella-Cala Morell 11:30 , 15:15 , 19:30
Cala Morell-Ciutadella 11:45, 15:30,19:45
