Leading Travel agency airflights.co.uk is advising its customers to book their Cheap Car Hire Menorca early this year. At peak periods wholesale Car Hire suppliers in resorts such as Tenerife, Lanzarote , Malaga, Paphos and especially the Balearic islands of Majorca and Menorca actually sell out of cars. Stop Sale as it is known in the trade is even more likely this year as nervous suppliers may not have increased the stock of cars due to the global recession. We are recommending that our customers get in early to avoid disappointment they say, people are very focused on buying from us their cheap flights and often lose sight of the need for an early Car Hire reservation.

Menorca is the second largest Balearic Island, and lies off the south east coast of mainland Spain. Menorca remains relatively quiet compared to its sisters, Ibiza and Majorca. There are many popular resorts along the south coast.

Menorca, located in the middle of the western Mediterranean, is especially popular amongst tourists wishing to experience one of the many traditional fiestas that are held throughout the summer.

There is stunning natural beauty on Menorca, from the Mediterranean coastline along the south to the rugged bays in the north, there’s something for everyone in the natural scenery.

Menorca is only the third-largest of the Balearic islands, yet it has more beaches than Mallorca and Ibiza put together. A fair few of these are only really approachable from the sea. My wife and I joined a catamaran day-trip to one such deserted cove; there was a delightfully Robinson Crusoe-like feeling to weighing anchor, diving in and swimming ashore, where a paella was cooked for us on a bonfire of driftwood.

Menorca shares many blessings with its visitors. The island is 10 degrees closer to the equator than the southernmost point in Britain, on a par with the far south of Italy. The Mediterranean minimises the extremes of climate – but has maximised the cultural intensity. From enigmatic stone structures built by pre-historic man, to dazzling 21st-century Spanish architecture, man’s impact on Menorca is fascinating.

And I am part of the latest, and mostly benign, invasion: tourists. Many of us are in search of an accessible yet discreet island whose strongest suit comprises beautiful, shady coves that serrate the southern coast. But it has plenty more on offer. (más…)
