Description
Let me take you for a stroll through the streets of the charming town of Mahon, which, situated on high cliffs, boasts one of the largest natural harbours of the Mediterranean, whilst its historic centre reveals its Spanish-British flair and particular and turbulent history as the bay of Mahon has been coveted by different civilizations (Carthaginians, Romans, Vandals, Byzantines, Arabs, Spanish, British and French) since ancient times.
What is the relation between Mahon and the ancient sling warriors? What is Mahon cheese? What about the Menorcan gin? Does mayonnaise come from Mahon?
Join me on this tour if you would like to learn about Mahon's loveliest sites, hear its most entertaining stories, and enjoy its most spectacular viewpoints!
A visit not to be missed!
