Although crowded on most days, the beach and water were very clean. Almost no one is swimming further from the beach. The sea was very calm in the beginning of June. Tranquil at night when everyone is gone.

Love Es Castell, vibrant place to be especially during the evening, street Market on Monday & Wednesday evenings. Great restaurants and bars.

Lovely bay & not too busy

The singular burial chambers known as Naveta des Tudons offers the chance to contemplate what is considered Europe's oldest intact construction, dated around 1,500 B.C.. The Es Tudons naveta is Menorca’s most famous burial monument and is a type of tomb found only on the island. It was built using the Cyclopean technique, meaning that medium sized stones were used and they were fitted together using a dry stone walling method, with no mortar. During an archaeological dig carried out in the 1960s, led by Menorcan archaeologist María Lluïsa Serra, the scattered skeletons of a hundred individuals of both genders and all ages were discovered, many of which dated back to the 9th century B.C. Detail of the gap that have appeared over time in the naveta roof, which consists of flat stone slabs. Inside the naveta. You can see how it is split into two levels separated by stone slabs. View of the upper chamber of the naveta, showing the different types of stone used to build it: smaller and evenly-shaped for the walls and large flat slabs for the roof and the upper floor. View of the entrance door from inside the lower chamber. You can see the stone slabs separating the two floors. Despite being scatteredr, the corpses' personal items that they had been buried with were still in evidence close by: bronze bracelets, bone buttons and some bronze weapons. Also found were small pots, pottery vases and a carved bone stopper, which was part of a container holding the human hair of some of the dead, a common burial ritual in this period. The shape of the naveta is similar to an upturned boat (“nave” in Spanish), hence the name given to this type of monument. The main entrance of the naveta leads to a small passageway that runs towards the upper chamber and also to a second entrance leading to the lower chamber. The middle floor and the upper roof are both built from huge stone slabs that act as beams. Visitors are not permitted to go into the naveta or climb onto it for safety and conservation reasons. Some of the burial goods found in the naveta during archaeological excavation work. They are on display in the Museum of Menorca in Maó.

At first this town was known as nothing less than Georgetown, as its founders were the occupying British troops who needed a town near to the strategically-located Castle of San Felipe which protected the entrance to the much-coveted port of Mahón. Even today there are constant reminders of this English occupation in the town, with its sash-windows and exterior walls painted red to look like brick. Es Castell is full of life and, perched as it is right over the largest natural harbour in the Mediterranean, its inhabitants have always lived off the port. It is traditionally a welcoming town, where everyone is warm and hospitable. From the high points of the town and at the water’s edge the sprawling La Mola fortress dominates the entrance on the north shore. Lazareto Island and the Isla del Rey are clearly visible as well, both simply stunning when they are lit up at night.

Nice village and quite beach good for children
