Minorca Pottery Posted: Mon April 27, 2009 04:31 PM UTC
Hi Folks;
This is a bit strange!
During the last few months my wife has started to collect large earthenware plates from Minorca. They typically have "Menorca" across the top and depict things like stylised cockerels or fish. They're usually signed but the signature is unreadable, though it pehaps begins with "P"; sometimes there's also the letter "R" as well. She's convinced they're antiques as they she says they are quite high quality (my wife knows a lot about antique china! - see our e-Bay site!), but I'm convinced they're tourist stuff.
Can anyone supply any information about these plates and where they could have been made?
Cheers,
Malcolm

Long-term rental in Menorca Posted: Tue March 17, 2009 10:06 AM UTC
Hi
We are looking for a long-term rental in Menorca, on the eastern side of the island. We have our own business over here but are not in a position to buy just now (not a good time to sell in the UK). Anywhere from Alayor, Son Bou, Es Castell, St Luis, Mahon, Sant Clement, and anywhere in between, would be ideal.
We are currently renting a property in Santa Ana and have been told we can come back here for next winter from October so a shorter-term let would be ok if need be. Ideally we would really prefer to find somewhere where we can settle properly, without having to pack up all our boxes every six months :)
Any help would be really appreciated, and many thanks.

Mahon or Ciutadella? Posted: Thu April 3, 2008 12:33 AM UTC
Hello everyone!
I am planning to go to Menorca for a a long weekend on the 12th of June.
Would you reccomend staying in Mahon or Ciutadella or perhaps in both places? I've had a look and it seems that most nice beaches are around Ciutadella, but not sure about the nightlife. Will it be too quite there? My friends and I are after nice stylish bars/restaurants not the very touristy resorts.
Anyone been in the Prinsotel Apartments near Ciutadella?
Any help will be much appreciated!
Thanks
Polly :)

question about menorca islands Posted: Wed March 5, 2008 10:13 PM UTC
Hello!
I already posted a question on the world forum asking for help if anybody could help me find a nice place for my mother and her boyfirend to go to for a vacation. I was stating that I am looking for a small island in tropical climate, preferably with palmtrees ( my Mom loves those =D) , quiet and not too expensive. Menorca was suggested to me there and so I was wondering if anybody from here can help me out with some details.
They would like to travel within the time of May - June. for maybe a week or two. My Mom would really like an island that is so small that she can walk around it, or at least manage in a day trip. Is that possible with Menorca?
Also, is there an area to recommend, where there is a palm tree beach with as few tourists as possible around? They would not like staying in a big crowded hotel. Since they don't have kids , they don't need entertainment for children and just the same they are very humble about any other special features that might serve as entertainment, for they would just like to relax after working too much and too long.
Since I think they greatly deserve it , I try to be as much of a help as I can to find something nice for them, and I am truly greatful for any suggestions or advice that might lead to them having a pleasant journey.
Thanks very much!
Maria

Minorca next July - What I can't miss??? Posted: Fri June 22, 2007 11:00 AM UTC
Hello!
On 3rd July, my boyfriend and me will fly to Minorca.
We're going to stay on Prinsotel La Caleta Hotel, in Cala Santandrķa. What do you have to say about this hotel?
We would like to go out, to dance salsa. Is there any place where we can do it, in Ciutadella perhaps???
I know that Minorca is an astonishing place. Can you indicate some places that we shouldn't miss???
Thank you for your help.
Best regards.

Hi,
I'm looking for a quiet room, bed and breakfast, small apartment to rent in Menorca/Minorca for the days of August 21-24, 2006. I am not the resort type and would rather stay in an understated small village. I'm the type to roll into town and see if there's a room for rent. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Accommodation in Menorca Posted: Fri April 14, 2006 10:22 PM UTC
Hi,
Looking at going to Menorca for a family holiday. Narrowed it down to the Prinsotel La Caleta Apartments in Cala Santandria or Mar Blau Apartments in Son Bou.
Has anyone stayed at either accommodation ? Please let me know what it is like - if they are child friendly and how near they are to restaurants/beach/shops etc. We are taking a baby and a ten year old so I want to make sure it is suitable.
Any advice would be greatly welcomed !
Thanks.
