Menorca in May
Around 18.5 °C by day, sea 18.5 °C. Too cold to swim. Quieter than the peak: 3 of 5.
May on Menorca is 18.5 °C by day and 18.5 °C in the sea. Load is 3 out of 5: the season has started, but July's 5 is still two months off.
Of the three Balearic islands in our base Menorca draws the fewest incomers, and May shows it best. Foreign residents are 15.9% here against 20.7% in Palma and 28.1% in Ibiza town. The choice within the island is narrower too: two real towns, Maó and Ciutadella, about thirty thousand people each, and the difference between them is real. Maó has a hospital 8 minutes away and an airport 8, with a winter score of 3 out of 5. Ciutadella, at the other end of the island, has the hospital 35 minutes off and the airport 45 — and costs more: €3,555 a square metre against €2,811.
