MaÓ
The municipal district of Maó stretches from the east of Addaia to the port of Maó along the north coast and from Cales Coves to Binidalí along the south coast. The only real resort within its jurisdiction is Es Canutells in the south although many visitors also find their way to the quaint fishing villages of Sa Mesquida and Es Grau along the north coast.
The inland towns of Sant Climent and Llumeçanes also fall within this jurisdiction.
THINGS TO SEE AND DO
The island’s capital was moved to Maó (Mahón in Spanish) in 1721 in order to better control the harbour and thus defend the island. Today, a stroll through this attractive city gives one a glimpse of the different phases in the island’s turbulent history, the many architectural styles reflecting the frequent changes of rule. The city centre offers an interesting mix of narrow streets lined with white washed houses, wide open squares and grand historical buildings.
Maó harbour, which winds its way inland for over 5 km, has always been renowned as a safe port in the Mediterranean and some even claim it is the second largest natural harbour in Europe. Life in along the harbour is vibrant, with the constant coming and going of ferries, container ships, cruise liners, fishing boats and sailing yachts. An array of cafes, restaurants, shops and nautical services line the southern side while private homes built along the northern side enjoy the spectacular harbour views. A stroll along the waterfront to admire the boats or dine in one of the restaurants is an absolute must.
