Cala Tirant, Menorca – Puerto Pollença, Mallorca via Cala Algaiarens, Cala Blanca & Cala Son Saura, Menorca What makes sailing a great lifestyle isn’t being able to spend time in shiny blue water, it’s also not about having the freedom to go where you like, when you like, or indeed having experiences that are far off the tourist trail....

Cala Teulera, Mahon, Menorca Some cities draw people to them by offering shopping, history, culture and museums.
