Minorca in primavera
Sole d'aprile
A totally different Menorca awaits you! Before the hectic of Summer crowds and sun baked landscapes Menorca looks and feels completely different. The light is crystal sharp , no heat hazes and dust to fudge the distant views. The winter washed seawater sparkles under sunlight and the clarity is meters deep. The Cafe seating moves to the outdoors and beach resorts start to wake after their winter sleep.
Good to Know
Primavera Minorca
La primavera inizia a metà marzo e le temperature iniziano a salire con periodi più soleggiati. I sentieri polverosi dell'estate sono ora incorniciati da verdi freschi e il paesaggio punteggiato di fiori luminosi, invitando camminatori e cavalieri uguali.
Allora cosa puoi aspettarti? Per alcuni, le vacanze primaverili a Minorca significano tornare all'aria aperta, godersi il paesaggio di un'isola mediterranea in fiore, magari a piedi, in bicicletta o a cavallo, magari pagaiando lungo la costa. linea in un kayak. Per altri è il momento di un completo relax e di una pausa dai grigi noiosi di un inverno a casa godendosi lo stile di vita più lento dell'isola sotto il sole nei bar e ristoranti della città. Ristoranti. E molti visitatori fanno entrambe le cose.
I minorchini sono appassionati delle loro tradizioni e della primavera che annuncia il jazz internazionale, i festival gastronomici e, naturalmente, le sfilate religiose di Pasqua (Semana Santa = Settimana Santa). In primavera le spiagge sono libere dai lettini e dalla stretta estiva. Goditi picnic sulla spiaggia, passeggiate, mountain bike lungo la costa o passeggiate a cavallo tra le onde
Spring Time's Idylic beauty
Summer peak's squeeze
Spring is the time to discover and re-discover Menorca, a welcome short break after the dull wet grey of the UK winter to feel the sun on your face again, minus the overcoats. A time to enjoy T-shirt walks and wander upon isolated places of beauty. To walk along valley and coastal tracks and emerge in bays of empty beaches for a quick refreshing dip.

I rami dei limoni si spezzano sotto il peso dei frutti. Profumi di gelsomino selvatico e fiori d'arancio, l'aria e l'isola danno il benvenuto a molti nuovi amici a quattro zampe.

May - early Summer
May is when the beach resorts fully open for the season. For those who don't like the mid 30s temperatures of peak season it's a good chance to see the last of Menorca's Spring colours and the annual menorca-wide flower festivals. May is also the time when food and music events happen in the island's towns.
May Flower Festivals
During May Ciutadella, Mahon and the major Towns across Menorca put on beautiful flower themed displays plus a calendar of cultural events ( music,artisan markets, exhibitions ). Each festival lasts a few days with displays all around their locations and tries not to overlap with others. Charming and inventive - well worth a visit.
