Communications

A solitary white house near Cala de sa Torreta (Walk 15)

Menorca has efficient communications systems. The postal system is as good as anywhere else in Europe. There are telephone kiosks dotted around the towns and villages, and mobile phones get a good signal in most urban or elevated locations. However, signals are poor or non-existent in some deep valleys, as well as along some more remote stretches of the northern coastline.

Getting to Menorca

By air

Flights from UK airports to Menorca mainly operate in the summer season, from May to October. Budget operators include Jet2 www.jet2.com, Monarch www.monarch.co.uk and Ryanair www.ryanair.com, and flights are mainly from the London airports, Birmingham and Manchester. There are some flights from a dozen other regional airports. For the rest of the year the choice of airports, airlines and dates on which flights operate is limited. However, this can be overcome by flying via mainland Spain or neighbouring Mallorca, changing onto year-round flights to Menorca operated by Iberia www.iberia.com, Spanair www.spanair.com and Vuelair www.vuelair.com. It is possible to start walking directly from the airport arrivals hall, to see an amazing prehistoric site and then head straight onto quiet country lanes, simply by following Walk 6.
