No.5 Pescadores is a charming, small cottage, to which our tenants return year after year. It has 2 large bedrooms, full bathroom and modern kitchen/living area, situated on the quayside, 20 metres from the water, and 2 minutes walk from the main beach. The unspoilt village of Es Grau is about 10 mins from Mahon, the capital, (and 15 mins drive from the airport) in the Albufera National Park. Es Grau has one of the finest gently shelving beaches in the area, ideal for small children. A 5 minute walk takes you to 2 other small sandy beaches, and within 15 minutes there is a choice of another 5 or 6 beaches. The Isla d'en Colon, the offshore island which has 2 bautiful beaches, can be reached in about 15 minutes by pedalo or kayak from the main beach. The Albufera lake and bird sanctuary, lies hidden behind the dunes and pine trees of the main beach, and is a paradise for birdwatchers, or just a sunset stroll. Guided walks can be organised locally.

Outside
The large covered patio overlooking the bay, has a round table and 6 chairs, 2 sun loungers, and 2 roll-up blinds for shade. It is ideal for young children as it is completely enclosed by a wall about 80cm high. There is a small bar next door, NOT a noisy one as it is not a late-night bar, but very useful for a drink and a snack. There is a small barbecue.
Coast/Beach
Es Grau has one of the finest sandy beaches in the area, ideal for small children as it shelves very gently. A 5 minute walk takes you to 2 other small sandy beaches, and within 15 minutes there is a choice of another 5 or 6 beaches. The off-shore island, Isla d'en Colon with its 2 beautiful beaches can be reached by canoe or pedalo from the main, as can several of the other beaches up the coast. There are no beach bars, so take your own drinks.
Golf
The one 18-hole golf course on the island, at Son Parc, is approximately 20 minutes drive away.
Travel
Car hire is recommended, at least for part of your holiday, but is not essential as the beaches, supermarket, restaurant and bars are all within walking distance. There is a bus service to Mahón in the season, otherwise a taxi can be called. Should you wish to hire a car, we run a car hire business and are happy to give discounted rates to our tenants. DONCARS SL was first established in 1965, and you can find out more about us on our web site www.doncars.com, or email info@doncars.com.
Distances
10 minutes drive to the capital, Mahón, and 15 minutes drive to the airport.
Further details
The island of Menorca is well worth exploring if you have not visited it before. It is rich in history and archaeological sites, or if you prefer sun and sand, no other island in Spain has more beaches and coves than Menorca. The Port of Mahon is one of the finest deep-water anchorages in Europe, and there are shops, restaurants and bars all around the harbour. The old buildings of Mahon have been beautifully restored, likewise the fine Opera House. There is a twice weekly handicrafts market, and a Music Festival throughout the summer. There is plenty of information in the house about events and places to go/eat etc. The very well stocked supermarket in the village is only 1 minute's walk from the house as is the unsophisticated but excellent Bar/restaurant Can Bernat. There is another restaurant right on the water's edge and the bars in the village all serve 'tapas' (snacks) as well as drinks. There is no Bank nor ATM in the village - the closest facilities are in Mahon. Stamps are sold at the shop and there is a post box by the main car park.
Booking notes
A non-returnable deposit of £200 is required at the time of making a booking, the remainder to be paid 6 weeks prior to arrival. A reminder of the balance due will be sent by email.
