Situated 5km south west of Mahón, just past the airport, is the quiet, white washed and delightful village of  Sant Climent. A small agricultural community, it has grown gradually since the XIV century, when it was a group of peasant dwellings known as Musuptá.

 Although surrounded by farm land, San Climent forms a natural centre for the numerous nearby urbanizations. It offers a small selection of shops, banks, and bars. The local cheese is made in the town and can be bought from what appears to be a garage in one of the back streets.

Sant Climent, along with its satellite urbanizations, forms a fairly close  knit community, who like to enjoy themselves at every occasion. An opportunity for visitors to join in is at the town’s local fiesta in the middle of August, when entertainment includes everything from fireworks to a children's’ party.

 Sant Climent is also surrounded by history. 4km west of the town is Calas Coves. Reached by a dirt track, the coves are situated around a small forked inlet, and are the site of a unique necropolis of prehistoric caves, hollowed out of the surrounding cliffs. Many are still being used as low cost housing!

Another site of interest is the Talayot Torello. Clearly visible from the airport, it is many visitors first glimpse of Menorca’s history. Access is from the main road into San Climent, and is clearly sign posted. Not far from the talayot is the Basalica de Torello. What appears at first to be a shed like structure, does in fact protect the remains of a beautiful mosaic floor. Probably dating from the 5-6 century AD it is likely to be the remains of a Roman villa or temple, and from the viewing platform the mosaic can be clearly seen depicting birds, animals and flowers.
