Ciutadella City
A wonderful old centre and a charming little harbour. 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.
A small quiet fishing village on the north west coast set in dramatic rocky coastlines. Combine with a visit to the beautiful virgin beaches of La Vall and walks through the very woodlands ,coast of Algaiarens. Bus 62 or by Hire Car.
