Menorca's summer-evening markets are a must-see. Laidback and folksy, you'll find all sorts of artisan crafts on sale and the aroma of local produce wafting through the air. We'll pick you up and take you one of the island's biggest, either in Mahon or Es Mercadal.
You'll be picked up at your hotel and driven to one of the markets when the sun sets. When you arrive, you'll have a few hours' free time to browse the stalls for souvenirs. These markets usually focus on handicrafts and local produce, so expect lots of leather goods, handmade ornaments, bottles of wine and cheese sets to steal the show. Streetfood vendors like to set up shop here, as well, so you can sample some local delicacies while you wander, too – we recommend the marinated olives.
These markets are an especially good place to pick up a pair of the lightweight avarca sandals – Menorca's signature summer footwear. And, since these markets are held when the sun's gone to sleep, you don't have to worry about dealing with the Menorcan heat. The evenings here are usually really comfy temperature-wise, which makes it easier for you to relax and soak up the market's atmosphere.
