| | Minorca is a relatively quiet holiday island, which in addition to good beaches and excellent facilities for water sports has much of historical and artistic interest to offer, including in particular its megalithic monuments - though some of these can be reached only on rough and unsignposted paths. | | | In recent years tourism has increased considerably in importance, but the example of tourist development on Majorca, some aspects of which are distressing, has led to second thoughts on Minorca, and some large scale development projects have not been carried out. | | | The southwest of the island is an extensive lowland area with a cliff fringed coast which lacks such inlets. |
