The doors of Lazaretto are opened once again for guided tours. The Island Council Consell Insular de Menorca in conjunction with the tourist board Fundació Foment del Turisme de Menorca, have put together these tours for everyone, both residents and visitors, to come and discover the history of one of the most fascinating spots of the island. Lazareto is a listed building, registered as Bien de Interés Cultural since 1985. It is located on the one of the four islets within the port of Mahón. It was built between 1794 and 1807, and was operative as from 1816, with the aim of isolating anyone coming into the port of Mahón suspected of carrying any infectious disease or already infected. There were several dramatic episodes, such as the yellow fever epidemics in 1821 and 1876, and an outbreak of typhus in 1821. The last ship held in quarantine here came in 1919. Soon after, the place was no longer used for health purposes. These emblematic buildings were transferred from the Ministry of Health (Ministerio de Sanidad) to the island council (Consell Insular de Menorca) in April 2015, when a new phase has started: the buildings are to be used for educational or touristic purposes.

IGA Menorca es un proyecto deportivo que organiza y gestiona la participación de la isla de Menorca en los Island Games, una competición internacional que se hace cada 2 años y que suponen unos juegos olímpicos a menor escala. Más de 5.000 deportistas participan y conviven durante una semana donde se disputan las 12 disciplinas que se hacen cada año, elegidas por los organizadores de los 14 deportes que toman parte. Menorca participa en estos juegos desde el año 2007, cuando debutó en la isla griega de Rhodas, y hasta ahora ha tomado parte en Åland 2009 (Finlandia), Wight 2011 (Reino Unido), Bermuda 2013 (Reino Unido), Jersey 2015 (Reino Unido) y Gotland 2017 (Suecia). En total son 24 las islas de diferentes partes del mundo las que participan en estos juegos. Para participar a los juegos los diferentes deportistas tienen que pasar una fase de clasificación de cada disciplina que se suele empezar a hacer el año antes de los juegos. También, los años pares, se hacen los Juegos Deportivos Municipales, una copia del que serán los Island Games y que supone una competición entre los deportistas de los 8 municipios de la isla durante un fin de semana.
