What to do Around Son Bou
12.21.09
No matter how much you may be enjoying yourself on your holidays, at some stage you should drag yourself away from your lovely Son Bou villas and explore the other towns around the island. Son Bou is well serviced by buses and you have a great choice of places you can visit on a day trip.
Alaior
The ancient town of Alaior is only a short bus ride away from Son Bou. Set off early so you can spend the morning wandering the cobbled streets and admiring the whitewashed buildings, before settling in for lunch at a local restaurant. Renowned as the cheese capital of Menorca, you can sample the many varieties at the Coinga shop.
Also an easy bus ride away on the western side of the island, the former capital of Menorca is a great full day trip out. Its delightful harbour setting makes it one of the more picturesque towns on the island and there is plenty of history for you to uncover as well. In the evening the town comes alive with a vibrant cafe and restaurant culture in traditional Spanish style.
Mahon
A little farther afield but still accessible, the capital of Menorca is a bustling port town. It lays claim to having the second deepest harbour in the world and its stunning clear water is ideal for swimming. Being the capital, Mahon is always buzzing and the seafront is a hive of activity. It is a great town to do some shopping so set aside an afternoon to get all your holiday gifts!
