The south of the island is beautiful sandy beach territory with an incredible amount of them, basically take your pick. It's hard to not be imppressed by the beaches here, many of which are 'blue flag' due to their pristine waters, lifeguards and services. Some are also remote and wild and absolutely picture postcard. In the South East of the island you have the modern day capital of Mahon or Mao in Catalan. Mahon is a bustling city with lots see and to do with lovely architecture, a cool fish market and many good restaurants, bars and cafés. The old capital, Ciutadella, sits on the south west coast and is very pretty with an old harbour and has a great culinary scene! For beaches, Cala en Porter, Cala Galdana and Cala Torqueta are among the best but to be honest, they all seem pretty special!
