Of the three Balearic islands in our base Menorca has the lowest share of foreign residents. In Alaior they are 15.9%, 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, with 30,986 and 32,719 people, and the difference between them is real. Maó has a hospital 6 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 45 minutes off and the airport 45 — and costs more: €4,077 a square metre against €2,981.
