Menorca is a fabulous place to visit and there are so many great opportunities for all sorts of holidays on the island to suit the lone traveller, couple or family. For those seeking a slightly quieter kind of experience, where they can soak up some authentic culture and meet a lot of the friendly locals, Sant Climent is an excellent choice of destination. It might not be as well known as some of the other places on the island, but that’s exactly why it’s definitely a worthy option when you’re deciding where to stay in Menorca. A Superb Location Location is, of course, the prime deciding factor when choosing where to stay in Menorca. It’s important that wherever you stay, you are within close and easy access of the amenities and attractions that are most important to you. Sant Climent is a very short distance from Mahón Airport and therefore easily reached once your plane has landed. The town is small and largely residential but it’s home to a few good bars and restaurants. It is also a great base from which to explore the island, with a range of lovely walks and cycling routes available. Local Tradition and Culture The annual Sant Climent Fiesta is held on the third weekend of August and it’s a wonderful bonus attraction if you’re thinking of taking a holiday to this part of the world in the summer months. More than a hundred horses and riders parade through the town streets performing tricks such as rearing up on the horse’s hind legs to entertain the crowds. Trying the traditional drink ‘Pomada’ is a focal point of the festival – and this delightful mix of local Menorcan gin and bitter lemonade is delicious. If you’re after some more lively nightlife while you’re there, the capital Mahón is only a short taxi ride away, with its harbour offering a great spot for drinks and a vibrant atmosphere. Dining and Entertainment Es Casino Bar and Restaurant and Es Moli de Foc Restaurant are two of the finest eateries on Menorca. There is no better place to try out traditional Menorcan cuisine than Es Moli de Foc and you can also enjoy an artisan beer in the adjoining brewery. Es Casino is a very popular and friendly local bar and is well known for its live jazz evenings. Make the Right Choice for Your Perfect Holiday If you choose where to stay in Menorca wisely, there is little doubt your holiday escape will be a fantastic and very relaxing success. While this lovely resort is certainly a lot quieter than many others, its proximity to the capital means you genuinely can enjoy the best of both worlds.
