By Henry Ashworth Less people will be taking a holiday in 2009 than last year, and the Menorca holidays industry is keeping its fingers crossed that their main British market won't be holding back on visiting the holiday island this summer.
Along with Germany, the UK provides most visitors to Menorca, and there are good reasons why both the British and Germans could be choosing Menorca if they do decide to take a holiday abriad. Most visitors arrive either at Mahon Airport or in Mahon itself via a cruise ship. Mahon is the capital of Menorca. Its deep sea green and blue water harbour contrast delightfully with its white sand beaches, making Mahon both picturesque and perfect for leisure and recreation on the beach. Mahon is rife with splendid hotels and fine restaurants, clubs and bars. However, tourists who want to experience more of Menorca often spend time at Son Bou or Cala en Porter. These two resort developments are on the island's central southern coast. It is about a 30 minute drive from the airport in Mahon. Only a short distance away from these is the resort of Santo Tomas in the district of Migjorn Gran which is also well worth a visit for holidayymakers. The beach area in Santo Thomas offers popular busier stretches and quaint hideaways. At two miles long, it's rarely crowded and offers protection with its surrounding sand dunes. The beach, patrolled for safety, is long and narrow. It offers an excellent swimming habitat, fine sand and warm surf. Scenic countryside and woods provide a backdrop to the sand and the Mediterranean waters. All three of these resorts feature gorgeous beaches - in fact, Son Bou boasts the longest beach on the island, with an astounding two miles of white sand for visitors to enjoy. Although the scenery and terrain may be enough in itself to keep holidaymakers busy for an entire holiday, Menorca is also rich in culture and history. This is visible in its renowned collection of ancient stone monoliths which bear tales of prehistoric times. Although Menorca has been a territory of Spain for over 200 years, there is still much evidence of its British roots - some English style architectural influences are still apparent even after the passage of centuries. Menorca will be hoping that British tourists who have been to the island before remember just how good it is, and decide to take a holiday in Menorca whatever the economic forecast is. 2009 Menorca flights and holidays are available with yourmenorca.net Accommodation with both villas and Menorca hotels for this summer are on-line along with airlines who have Minorca flights Menorca realtors offering Menorca property is also available.
