Platja de Migjorn
East of Sant Ferran de ses Roques, towards Es Caló, a series of bumpy roads leads to the south coast beaches, known collectively as Platja de Migjorn. They are secluded and popular, despite their sometimes rocky and seaweed-strewn shorelines (especially towards the western end). The best are at the eastern end around Es Arenals. Most of these beach settlements consist of a handful of houses and apartments, a couple of bar-restaurants and the odd hostal .

Poble Espanyol
In the west of the city, Poble Espanyol is a copy of the village of the same name in Barcelona. It contains replicas of famous monuments and other buildings representative of a variety of Spanish architectural styles, not to mention souvenir shops galore, although these are closed on Saturday afternoon, Sunday and on holidays.

Ses Voltes
Ciutadella's pedestrian walkway, Ses Voltes (The Arches), has a vaguely North African flavour, and is lined with glamorous shops and boutiques, restaurants and smoky bars.

Torre d'es Cap de Barbaria
A narrow sealed road heads south out of the capital through stone-walled farmlands to Cap de Barbaria, the island's southernmost point. It's a pleasant ride to the lonely white lighthouse at the road's end, although there ain't much to do once you get there, except gaze out to sea. From the far (lighthouse) a track leads east (a 10-minute walk) to the Torre d'es Cap de Barbaria, an 18th-century watchtower.

Xoriguer Gin Distillery
On the waterfront, head to the Xoriguer Gin Distillery where you can try the local gin, another British legacy. At the front is a liquor outlet and souvenir shop where visitors can help themselves to free samples. Menorcan gin is distinctively aromatic and very tasty. You can also try various strange liqueurs and tonics.
