Lonely Planet review

From the time Great Britain took control of Menorca, Maó's value as a port was clear. And so they built Fort Marlborough above the charming emerald-green inlet, Cala de Sant Esteve (2.5km beyond Es Castell, which to the Brits was Georgetown), southeast of Maó. Most of the fortress was excavated into the rock below surface level. It is well worth wandering around the fort, and the cheesy video provides a modicum of information.
