In 1993, UNESCO declared Menorca a Biosphere Reserve because of its environmental diversity and natural values.
The name ‘Menorca’ comes from the Roman word ‘Minor’, and the name of its sister island comes from the word ‘Maior’.
Menorca is a tranquil island with less than 100,000 inhabitants throughout. The biggest urban centres are Mahón and Ciudadela with almost 50,000 inhabitants each.
The official languages are Castilian Spanish and ‘menorquín’. The island being an important international tourist destination, the locals have direct contact with tourism
and also speak other languages such as English, German, French, Italian…
