This tour is made for walking lovers since will give you the opportunity to discover the capital of Mahon walking through its tiny and narrow streets, the Cloister of del Carmen which was built parallel to the Carmen church. Disentailed in 1835, it housed the prison, the courts of justice and the market. Today, there is still a market on the ground floor and various cultural institutions on the upper floor.
Continue to the Church of Santa María built in the 18th century on the site of a 13th century gothic church. The interior is inspired by the neogothic style and has a monumental organ of great instrumental and artistic quality (15 metres high and 9 metres wide) inaugurated in 1810. It has four keyboards and 3,006 organ-pipes, of which 197 are wooden and the rest metal.
See the bridge of San Roque, the only remains of the ancient medieval city walls, the street of Isabel II which contains the greatest number of stately town houses built in Mahón during the 18th century.
After return back to the ship, will walk to the tapas restaurant to enjoy a menorcan typical tasting.
