In the afternoon we will proceed to the port of Mahón, where we will spend the night. Mahón is the capital of the island of Menorca. A huge natural harbor inside a deep fjord. From the port, through the narrow streets, it is possible to reach the historic center, among colonial buildings, characteristic shops, bars and restaurants.

We set sail from Mahón to head back to the southern side of the island of Menorca.

We can stop in a small cove like the magnificent Cala Mitjana, or in a long white beach like Playa de Son Bou.

In the afternoon we will move to Cala Galdana. Due to its fine sand, paradisiacal aspect and excellent protection from wind and waves, Cala Galdana is considered one of the most beautiful beaches in the Balearics. We will spend the night at anchor here, with the possibility of going down with the tender to the small tourist village for a walk or an aperitif.

Among the most important in Majorca (450 meters long), they are located in the cliffs of Cap Vermell, about 500 meters from the beach.
