Founded in the shadow of the majestic fortification of the Castle of San Felipe, Es Castell is the easternmost town of Menorca and therefore, of the peninsula. Once called George Town by the English, it is a welcoming spot in which the façades of the majority of its buildings give off a very British air. One of the main charms of the town is its connection to the port of Maó, via the two natural harbours situated in Cala Corb and Cales Fonts. During the summer nights one can enjoy a peaceful stroll past bar terraces and the stalls of the craft markets, a gift for the senses.

Those who visit Menorca have stated that it is one of the paradises of the western Mediterranean, an island that history has always been an object of desire because of its strategic position and which now has ended up becoming one of the most attractive tourist destinations. However, it is not only a dream spot for holidays, but also for living. Menorca allows you to experience for yourself the quality of life that you had always imagined, through the combination of small details that make up its landscape, people, tranquillity, light, traditions and fine food.

Geographically, Menorca is the easternmost and northernmost island of the Balearic Islands, declared a Biosphere Reserve in 1993 by UNESCO.
