Menorca Rentals by Owners.

Minorca (Catalan and Spanish: Menorca ; from Latin Balearis Minor, later Minorica "minor island") is one of the Balearic Islands located in the Mediterranean Sea and belongs to Spain . It takes its name from being smaller than nearby island of Majorca .

Lingering British influence is seen in the Minorcans' taste for gin, which during the local festes (holidays dedicated to a town's patron saint), the islanders mix with bitter lemon to make the popular Pomada. Also famous is Formatge de Maó, a cheese typical of the island.

It is thought that mayonnaise was brought back to France from Mahon, Minorca, after Louis-François-Armand du Plessis de Richelieu's victory over the British at the city's port in 1756.
