Colourful landscapes and cultural heritage
With its diverse regions and many islands, Spain has been among the most popular holiday destinations in Europe for several decades. The variety of its landscapes, its magnificent beaches and sunny climate make it a sure winner all year round. Come and discover Moorish Spain in the south of the peninsula, Andalusia with its fiery temperament or the Balearic Islands very close by, famous for their splendid landscapes and their party atmosphere. Or opt for the diversity of the Canary Islands, volcanic lands with unspoilt traditions and treat yourself to an unforgettable holiday under the sun.
Sun, farniente & fiesta!
A favourite seaside destination owing to their proximity, their magnificent beaches and sunny climate, the Balearics have been a safe bet for decades. With a two-hour flight by plane for Majorca and a little more than 2.5 hours for Ibiza, they are within everyone’s reach. Families looking for friendly, relaxing holidays, passionate cyclists wishing to discover the hinterland with its unsuspected charm, revellers looking for the trendiest DJ, nature lovers and water sports lovers will all find something to suit them there.
Minorca
Welcome to the island of the gods and fabulous creatures! The north of Minorca, ‘The Tramuntana’, is the setting for many of the island’s legends and you can quickly see why. Wind and sea have sculpted amazing creatures in the black rock, which gives the coast its fascinating character.
But what would an island be in the Balearics without beaches? Minorca offers magnificent white sand beaches and the transparent sea invites you in for long swims. In the south, the ‘Migjorn’ are almost entirely surrounded by lovely pine forests and form a varied and unique landscape.

Must-do & Must-see - our suggestions
Must-do
- Savour the island’s most famous dish: ‘caldereta de langosta’, a lobster stew. The best way to savour this delicacy is on a terrace with a view of the sunset and a glass of white or sparkling wine - treat yourself!
- Take the ‘Cami de Cavalls’, the island’s beautiful coastal path. You will be rewarded with magnificent views of the turquoise bays and charming zones bordered by fragrant pine trees. In the old days, the nobility and large landowners used to patrol this ancient horse trail to protect themselves from pirates and invaders.
- The favourite Minorcan cocktail: the ‘Pomada’ - a Minorcan gin with freshly-squeezed lemon juice. The distillation of gin on the island is a legacy of the British occupation. The famous Xoriguer gin distillery in the port of Mahón is also worth a visit.
Must-see
- Former capital of the island: Ciutadella (in Minorcan: Ciutadella) is considered to be one of the most beautiful towns in Spain. With their many tapas bars, the superbly preserved, mysterious streets of the old town are inviting to walk around.
- Lloc de Minorca: this is the name of the island’s very popular little zoo, located close to Mahón, where the visitor can have an up-close view of both local animals and animals from across the world. A varied excursion for all ages!
- Calas: Minorca is synonymous with dreamlike bays - plunge into the crystalline turquoise-blue seawater lapping on fine sandy beaches worthy of a fairytale, surrounded by cliffs bordered by pine trees.

Among the most beautiful are Cala Macarella and Cala en Turqueta in the south of the island.
