Overview
Is a traditional island town occupying a beautiful location. Ferreries is surrounded by beautiful hills and countryside with spectacular valleys and history. A great start point for scenic walks,cycling and horse riding. Good base for those looking to explore Menorca's natural attractions.
There is a regular bus service to Ciutadella and Mahon, with connections on route to other destinations.
Supermarkets: there are several spread around the town at local's prices rather than inflated resort prices with everything necessary for a holiday.
Ferreries has one or two boutiques, handmade shoes and jewellery shops in the old town, but you really need to visit Ciutadella combined with a market day there. Factory shops for one of the island's most famous upmarket leather shoes and goods manufacturer - Jaime Mascaro ( eg pretty Ballerinas ). Many of these shoes and goods you will find in more exclusive shops back home for considerably more than you will pay on Menorca.
