The quiet Balearic island
Menorca is the second largest of the Balearic Islands and the most relaxed of them, with no high-rise strip and much of its coast reachable only on foot. The whole island has been a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve since 1993. It was British for most of the 18th century, and Mahón, its capital, still looks out over the deep natural harbour that the Royal Navy came for.
Two coasts, two kinds of weather
What makes Menorca's webcams useful is that they watch both sides of the island. The north coast is rocky and open, and takes the full force of the tramuntana, the north wind that can blow for days between autumn and spring: Cala Tirant and Cala Morell show when it is up. The south coast, from Cala en Bosch to Punta Prima, is lower and sandier, and is often calm on the same day. A look at both before you set off tells you which side to head for.
Who runs the cameras
Most of the views come from IB-Red, a Balearic telecoms company that has set up a network of live cameras across the islands, streamed in high definition. In Mahón, the city's yacht club watches its own moorings on the harbour. Some of the same cameras also publish a time-lapse of the last 24 hours, shown here alongside the live view.
When to watch Menorca
Menorca keeps Central European Time, one hour ahead of the UK and Ireland. As the most easterly part of Spain, it sees the sun rise before anywhere else in the country, so the east-facing cameras are at their best early in the morning, and the west end of the island at sunset.
