Mahón (Maó in Catalan) is the capital of Menorca and sits at the head of a 5-kilometre natural inlet — at one time claimed as the largest natural harbour in the Mediterranean. The British occupied Menorca three times in the 18th century, and Mahón still shows it: sash windows, Georgian townhouses on the harbour cliff, and the world's name for mayonnaise (salsa mahonesa). The fjord-like harbour holds Marina Port Mahón, the working naval base, and four small islets — including Illa del Rei with a ruined 18th-century military hospital. Mahón gin distilleries still operate on the quay. Mahón is 90 minutes from Cala Galdana. Season runs April through October.
