More Shoes and Leatherware
There is a long history of producing high-quality leather goods in Menorca, which continues today. However, many of the brands will be unfamiliar to you since they are mostly sold in french and german quality fashion shops.
You may enjoy some excellent new shoe heels, flats, and boots if you buy locally.
Fresh Food shopping in Menorca
Nothing beats sampling fresh food grown in Menorca's soil. It's ripe and delicious, exactly as it should be! Many little grocery stores will have loose fruit and vegetables, so you can smell them without using plastic.
Mahon and Ciutadella have wonderful food markets with beautiful fish. The little fruit and vegetable shops in the villages that sell the produce of local farmers are a good idea. Carrer Gran in Es Castell is one example.
Conclusion
Support the local economy and avoid the supermarkets if you can. The little shops have better produce, anyway!
There are several shopping experiences unique to Menorca. Shop for handmade jewellery, local food, or even a new pair of shoes! With a little planning, you can make the most of your shopping trip to Menorca, Spain
