The island: Menorca, one of the maybe lesser known islands for foreigners and of the favourite amongst Spaniards, which is what makes this island so special. Not far but different to Mallorca or Ibiza, extremely transparent turquoise waters, wild vegetation, virgin beaches, and very traditional and authentic. This is the place where Spanish families have been coming for years, where friends meet every summer since they were little, where people profess an absolute love and respect for nature and where everyone is happy to walk for 40 minutes to reach the beach through a forest and under the strong sun while carrying all food and drinks along. Because you will not find any bars or restaurants on the beaches, no appartment buildings, no boulevards, no shops, and that is exactly why people come to Menorca and why the locals are in love with this beautiful island.
The beach: Pregonda
The sunset: La Vall beach
The bed: http://www.homelidays.es/ Do not book into a hotel in Menorca, they are located in the most turistic areas and you will not get to really "live" a bit of the local island life. Going to the market, getting fresh fish, cooking and having long summer nights on the porch is what comes with renting a house with friends for 1 week. Plus your own drive way under the trees with a property in the middle of the forest and your own pool to jump in before breakfast and when coming back from the beach in the evening for much less than what you would pay in a hotel.
