During the summer, Menorca transforms into one of the favorite destinations for lovers of classical music and opera.
Menorca has the Teatro Principal, located in the beautiful city of Mahón, which is the oldest opera house in Spain, built in 1829 by the architect Giovanni Palagi. The shows at the Teatro Principal are usually very varied, but if there are any events that stand out, they are the operas.
If you are planning to spend your vacation on the island, you can't miss the concerts that will fill the long summer days with culture. Take a look at our agenda; you will see that many of the composers whose works will be heard this summer are the namesakes of our rooms at Binissaida.
