Menorca´s Culture
The island, known as 'the green' of the Balearic Islands, is located in the easternmost part of the archipelago. With an area of approximately 700 km2, a length of 53 km (between La Mola and the Cap de Menorca or Baioli de Ciutadella) and a maximum width of 19.51 km, Menorca is undoubtedly a small island.
​
In terms of nature, Menorca is one of the last best-preserved natural paradises in the Mediterranean. The island is a unique corner of the natural environment because the Menorcan inhabitants have always learned to maintain a harmonious balance with their natural surroundings. Thanks to this good relationship, Menorca was declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 by the U.N.E.S.C.O. The island has a natural park, five natural reserves, a marine reserve, and nineteen ANEI zones (Natural Areas of Special Interest) such as La Vall, De Binigaus a Cala Mitjana, or Costa Sud de Ciutadella.

Menorca, the middle sister with the hair always on the wind...
Another of Menorca's great cultural values is its internationally renowned craftsmanship, especially in the footwear. Since the middle of the 19th century, the island has developed an industry based on handcrafted products, making a great effort to maintain its seal of identity. Currently, prestigious brands in the world of ceramics, jewellery and footwear have their origin on the island.
​
Menorca is increasingly concentrating on luxury tourism thanks, in addition to its attractiveness, to the opening of flagships in their respective segments, such as the renowned art gallery Hauser & Wirth Menorca. Its portfolio of artists includes 90 stellar names such as Dan Graham, Roni Horn, Pierre Huyghe, Ron Mueck, Jenny Holzer or Annie Leibovitz, in addition to the legacies of creators such as Louise Bourgeois or Henry Moore.
