When to visit

The best time to visit Fornells is during the spring and summer months, from April to September, when the weather is warm and sunny. The peak tourist season is in July and August, so it's recommended to visit in the shoulder seasons of May-June or September to avoid crowds. The winter months can be quite rainy and cool, so it's not the ideal time for outdoor activities.

Getting around

Fornells is a small village that can easily be explored on foot. Visitors can also rent bicycles to explore the surrounding countryside or take a boat tour to discover the hidden coves and beaches along the coast. Taxis are available for longer journeys to other parts of the island, and there is a bus service that connects Fornells to other towns on Menorca.

Traveller tips

Don't miss trying the famous Caldereta de Langosta, a traditional lobster stew that is a specialty of Fornells. Be sure to visit the local markets to sample fresh produce and artisanal products. Pack comfortable walking shoes as the village has cobblestone streets and hilly terrain. Learn a few basic phrases in Spanish to communicate with the locals. Be respectful of the local customs and traditions, such as siesta time in the afternoon.
