Es Castell
Es Castell, lying along the southern side of Maó harbour, may be the smallest municipality in Menorca, but historically was of great strategic importance. This, the most easterly town in Spain, was founded during the second British occupation as a garrison town, to defend the entrance to the harbour. With no beaches along its stretch of coastline, Es Castell does not have any tourist resorts and residents are scattered among the busy little town of Es Castell, the neighbouring urbanisations of Santa Ana, Sol del Este and Son Vilar and the rural village of Trebaluger. Of particular interest is the small creek at Sant Esteve, the site of three important defence fortifications.
