Maó, the capital of Menorca, is a melting pot of cultures and flavours. Walking through its historic centre, you’ll be surrounded by the rich heritage of the Spanish, French and English. Visit the Mercat des Peix and the Claustro del Carmen Market to taste tapas, wine and local products, in an atmosphere overflowing with history and energy.
To wander through the historic centre of Maó is to enter a fascinating mosaic of cultural influences. The streets are lined with elegant English-style houses and historic buildings that reveal the city's rich history. From the majestic Santa María Church to the emblematic Teatro Principal, every corner tells its own story.
The Mercat des Peix is a must for food lovers. This market not only offers the freshest fish in Menorca, but also has lively stalls where you can enjoy tapas, pinchos and local wine. All in a one-of-a-kind building that will captivate you as much as the flavours you find here.
The Mercado Claustro del Carmen, meanwhile, is a vibrant hub of culture and flavours.

Its central courtyard is also the setting for concerts and cultural events to enrich your visit with music and art.
