Decalogue of the good tourist

Welcome to Menorca!

This decalogue is an excellent guide for those visiting Menorca in a responsible and conscious way. Here’s a summary of the main recommendations:

• Be responsible: Take care of your impact on the environment, and try not to leave a trace.
  Water is a scarce resource in Menorca, don’t waste it and use it wisely.
• Respect the environment: Menorca’s flora and fauna are fragile — help preserve them. Stick to existing trails and avoid stepping on sensitive areas like sand dunes.
• Value cultural heritage: Enjoy and respect the island’s culture, traditions, and gastronomy.
• Support local products: Contribute to the local economy by buying local goods and souvenirs.
• Don’t take natural souvenirs: Leave natural and cultural elements where they belong: sand, stones, stalactites...
• Avoid harmful practices: Don’t take “clay baths” or make rock piles. These actions erode and damage the soil, speeding up its disappearance.
• Reduce and manage your waste: Don’t litter — not on the ground, streets, beaches, or sea. Always carry a bag to collect your trash.
• If you smoke, use a portable ashtray: Don’t drop cigarette butts on the ground; use a pocket ashtray.
• Inform yourself before visiting: Get as much information as possible about the places you want to visit to avoid surprises (complicated roads, parking, distances...).
• Enjoy: This is the most important tip: you chose Menorca for its peace, climate, landscape, culture, people and vibe. Relax and enjoy the ride!
